'GOODBYE LIVERPOOL'

Liverpool post on Instagram commemorating 8-0 Champions League win against Besiktas in 2007… but fans of Turkish club respond in fine style

Yossi Benayoun was the hero that night as he bagged a hat-trick in the mauling... but the Red seems to have forgotten about 2015

LIVERPOOL have been trolled in spectacular fashion by Besiktas - on the tenth anniversary of walloping the Turkish side 8-0.

Back in November 2007, Yossi Benayoun bagged a hat-trick as the Merseysiders tore apart Besiktas in the Champions League.

So to commemorate that special night, the Merseyside club posted the scoreboard from that night on their Instagram page.

But Besiktas fans decided to respond in the most perfect way.

Hundreds of supporters of the Turkish club commented with the simple words "goodbye Liverpool".

Their comments relate to the famous words uttered by Turkish commentator Ercan Taner as Besiktas knocked Liverpool of of the Europa League on penalties in 2015.

Dejan Lovren blasted his effort over the bar, leaving Taner almost speechless as Besiktas progressed into the last 16.

And things have since got even tougher for Lovren in his spell at Anfield.

The centre-half has opened up on how he wants to lift the 'black cloud' hanging over him since his family received a death threat.

Lovren has been criticised after a string of poor performances and was sent a message on Instagram that read: "I'm gonna murder your family."

And the Croatian has told of how an ongoing injury to his back and the intense scrutiny he now faces on the pitch are making life tough for him.

Lovren told Croatian publication 24Sata: "My condition? Let's say there have been better days.

"You simply cannot change what has happened in the past.

"I would just love to finally get that black cloud away from me, so things can get better.

"It's not easy for me. Maybe it's interesting for everyone else, but I guess it'll be better soon."
