An early kickoff on the road, in the divisive away kit. It is a recipe for disaster for Liverpool, who are still yet to win in the white shirt this season.
After the euphoria of thrashing Man United 7-0, the Reds let it all slip again as Philip Billing’s first-half strike gave the Premier League‘s bottom side all three points.
The mentality of Jurgen Klopp‘s side can certainly be questioned, but the more superstitious among the support have also pointed to a worrying trend with their away kit.
Already an unpopular design upon its release in the summer, the ’90s-inspired white kit has become a bad omen for Liverpool.
Defeat at Bournemouth means it is now four losses and a draw in their five games wearing the away kit, with three goals scored and seven conceded.
Liverpool's record in their white away kit this season:
5 games
0 wins
1 draw
4 losses
3 goals
7 conceded#LFC #BOULIV— Michael Reid (@michael_reid11) March 11, 2023
Of course, it says more about the Reds’ form on the road, with only three wins in 13 away games in the league, losing seven of those with a goal difference of -7.
But that did not stop calls to retire the white kit months before it is replaced by green and white for next season.
12:30 kick off
Cursed away kit
First penalty we get all season
We miss itThese are only Liverpool things boys and girls.

Whoever that came up with the idea for the Liverpool away kit needs to be sacked.

Early kick off and the away kit needs to be scrapped for Liverpool

Back to the old Liverpool, it is. The white kit should be banished forever.

The 2-1 to Man United, the 3-2 to Arsenal, the 1-0 to Nottingham Forest, the 0-0 with Crystal Palace and now this.
Just wear that stunner of a green kit next time, lads.
