Newcastle striker Callum Wilson walked back his statement that Liverpool wasn’t back in the top four race following their thrashing of Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday. Wilson apologised on his podcast with fellow Premier League target man Michail Antonio, The Footballer’s Football Podcast. Callum Wilson said at the end of February that Liverpool are not in the race for TOP 4. Now Wilson offered an apology to the Reds: “I apologise for saying that Liverpool aren’t back. They’re back with a bang! Anything I say at the minute the universe shows the opposite.” pic.twitter.com/bZowYy1tIE— LiverpoolGoals (@Liverpoolgoals_) March 9, 2023 Wilson laughingly blamed his cosmic karma, saying that the universe was determined to prove any statement of his wrong. Delivering his assessment of the weekend’s action, Wilson said: “I apologise for saying that Liverpool aren’t back.”They’re back with a bang! Anything I say at the minute, the universe shows the opposite.” ##NAJAVA_MECA_7079978##The England international’s comment offered a rethink of his early appraisal of Liverpool’s top-four hopes, which he gave on the same podcast in February. The club’s win against Newcastle at St James’s Park was seen as a spark that would ignite Liverpool’s faltering season, but Wilson wasn’t convinced. “You’re asking me, are Liverpool back?” Wilson queried his co-host Antonio after delivering his assessment of the match. “What do you want me to say? They have won two games after the last couple of weeks and like I’m saying, we technically let them win, it was a poor performance from our point of view.”
