It was all going so well.
Jurgen Klopp had brought optimism back to Liverpool. The rudderless ship finally had a captain worthy of its great tradition. Ahead of schedule, the German had delivered a cup final, European progress and a late bid for Champions League football next season.
But that was until Liverpool Football Club decided to ruin it all with their spectacularly bad merchandise. We thought the ‘Normal One’ t-shirts were bad enough, but oh no, the official club shop had to stoop even further below the levels of acceptable ‘banter’.
Remember that ‘This is Bill/Be like Bill’ craze from a month or so ago? The one that only lasted about a fortnight, until everyone realised it was incredibly sad and annoying? The one that your mum and dad only cottoned on to after it was yesterday’s news?
Well, it seems the Reds can’t get enough of a meme that’s even too old for your parents’ Facebook pages. Behold the monstrosity that is Liverpool’s ‘Be like Jurgen’ t-shirts.

Brendan Rodgers didn’t die for this.
