Edwards’ prediction about Liverpool shocks Reo Coker
The Reds are in a strong position after securing six victories and just one loss against Nottingham Forest.
Following victories over AC Milan and Bologna, they have started their Champions League campaign favourably and are currently ranked fifth in Europe.
But BBC host Rick Edwards on FootballDaily podcast cast doubt on Liverpool’s form saying the team will falter against more formidable opponents.
He said,
“I don’t mean to be inflammatory, but I think Liverpool are going to get a hiding as soon as they play a decent team.”
He thinks Liverpool’s next games against top teams Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester City could result in crushing defeats.
Edwards’ bold prediction casts doubt on the Reds’ ability to handle the toughest opposition as they navigate through a season full of high expectations under Arne Slot.
Commentator Nigel Reo-Coker noted in a recent podcast how unexpected the claim was and expressed his surprise at Edwards’ bold forecast.
Despite having a strong start to the season Liverpool have not yet faced a team that truly dominates the Premier League or the Champions League.
Edwards’ prediction now begs serious concerns about Liverpool’s performance in a match against Europe’s elite clubs.
The focus will be on Slot’s team to demonstrate their tenacity and championship credentials against these strong rivals as the season goes on.
