But Liverpool fans are a supportive bunch and so they got behind their team as per usual - even giving the new uniform a relatively easy time...

They're a rare breed though and not many would have the same patience as a Liverpool fan would.
Things are admittedly a little easier when you have Sadio Mané running around taking the piss and Philippe Coutinho spinning defenders inside-out like a cruel, evil genius.
Things are a little easier when, in his first full season, their German boss has instantly transformed the Anfield charges and made the club fit for the title again.
But their third kit isn't fit for fashion or purpose, and events that unfolded in Northampton on Saturday should be cause for some concern.
Peterborough United were the visitors, and it took a 90th minute winner from their captain Chris Forrester to clinch the derby spoils. But they had to battle against the elements.

The elements, in this case, being the fact that the stewards were wearing the same colours as the players.
In one hilarious instance, Michael Bostwick tried to spread the play when he spotted an overlap run on his left, only to find that the steward wasn't interested at all - despite the fact that it was a perfect ball played into his feet.

Nope, the midfielder's pin-point precision was ignored and Peterborough were put onto the back foot.
You could see where he got confused, but a misplaced pass like that in that area of the field allowed opposing attackers to make hay. We don't need to show you clips of Demba Ba making the most of one half slip.
Perhaps the 'Pool might think twice before sporting their version of lime again. They should've already thought about it nine times over, to be honest. This is just a good excuse to put pressure on the higher-uppers.
