At first glance, it looked like Markovic was celebrating his own club's struggles but the 24-year-old has responded to the criticism with an attempt to explain himself.

Markovic looked destined to leave Anfield in the summer and was close to finalising a permanent move to Anderlecht after spending the second half of last season on loan with the Belgian side and even travelled to Brussels on deadline to put the finishing touches to the deal.

The Serbian winger has been training and playing with the club's U23 side in recent months but his days on Merseyside are clearly numbered.
It looks like something of an inevitability that Markovic will either leave in January for even less than £2.9 million or for free next summer.Top-flight footballers and F1 driver caught up in prostitution scandal
