Many Liverpool fans will remember a time when the goalposts at Anfield were adorned by red nets, but it is coming up on a decade since Jurgen Klopp took the decision to replace those iconic red nets with more commonly seen white ones.

For much of the 1980s and 1990s, Liverpool's strikers aimed their shots at red nets during home matches, but that tradition was ended in the mid-90s.

Liverpool stuck with white nets from the mid-90s until Brendan Rodgers arrived at the club in the 2010s, when the Northern Irishman decided that it was time for the return of the red nets.

“Brendan and his family were given their first glimpse of Anfield the day after he was unveiled as manager as part of a private tour of the stadium," Liverpool FC museum curator Stephen Done recalled via This Is Anfield.

“At the end of the tour, we stood on the Kop and Brendan [Rodgers] commented that he always remembered the goals at Anfield having red nets."

The red nets stuck around until 2016, when Klopp, who had replaced Rodgers as Liverpool manager in 2015, decided that the red nets were a problem.

Klopp believed that using white nets would improve players' focus when taking aim at the goal, and he felt that red nets would be more difficult to see as they would blend in with supporters and club colors in the stands.

Liverpool has stuck with white nets since then, and for the aforementioned reason, one suspects the club is unlikely to make the change back any time soon.

There is a myth that the Premier League has banned colored nets, but that is not the case; rather, most clubs have seemingly identified that white nets are more effective in helping attacking players hit the target.
