A Liverpool fan has bizarrely blamed the red seat coverings for the side's alarmingly poor home form.
Heading into Sunday's clash against Fulham at Anfield, the Reds have lost their last five home league games after being defeated 1-0 by Chelsea.
This is the first time they have done so in their history and also makes them the first English top-flight champions to go on such a run.
Phoning in to talkSPORT, supporter Frankie had a theory for his team's nosedive.
'My belief is it's not just at Anfield, it's all clubs that play in red like Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal,' he said.
'We have red backdrops and we play in red kits.
'I believe it is the colour clash when clubs are passing the ball, it takes them longer to visualise their players.'
When asked why Merseyside rivals Everton - who have blue seat coverings over blue seats - aren't similarly struggling at the moment, Frankie continued: 'If you're making a painting and you put a red colour on top of a red, it actually looks worse than blue on blue.
'I can guarantee if Liverpool changed their backdrop to their away kit, they would perform a lot better.
'Even if it only made a 10 per cent difference, in the scheme of things 10 per cent is a lot.'
None of this explains why Liverpool won their first five Premier League games this term without fans, but we appreciate the effort.
After the hosts' latest loss, Chelsea moved four points ahead of Jurgen Klopp's side, who will be hoping that an end to their rotten Anfield run this weekend.
