The significance we all put on football kits is getting out of hand at this stage.

The luminous green colour was not exactly well received but Klopp, in a bid to stem the kit-hatred festering among supporters, has claimed that he is a fan of the new strip.
"I can tell you I like it," Klopp told reporters. "OK, it's not Liverpool colours, I know, but if it's not red I don't care.

"It's a nice colour. It's fresh, it's cool. The lads love it. They look good in it. They're all a little bit tanned at the moment so it's good.
"In my country, green is the colour of the hope. For me it's green but I'm a little bit colour blind. When I think it's green, it's green for me. So it's hope and let's hope that everything will be good for us."
