Neco Williams delivers new five-word verdict after Nottingham Forest draw

Following Tuesday’s 1-1 draw between the two teams, Williams has given his old team, Liverpool, high praise. Chris Wood gave Forest the lead early in the first half, but Diogo Jota equalized in the second half to share the points at the City Ground.
Before Arsenal’s match against Tottenham at home on Wednesday night, the outcome maintains Arne Slot’s club six points ahead of them at the top of the Premier League table. Additionally, Liverpool has an advantage over all of its championship rivals because the Merseyside derby has been postponed until February 12.

And Williams has acknowledged Liverpool’s quality in a post on social media platform Instagram as he called the Reds a ‘top side’ in a simple two-word verdict of Tuesday night’s opponents. The defender departed Anfield  in July 2022 after completing a £17million move to a then newly-promoted Forest team under former Reds academy coach Steve Cooper.

“Good battle against a top side,” he said alongside a shaking hands emoji with a picture of him celebrating Forest’s goal on Tuesday. Williams played the full 90 minutes at left-back for Nuno Espirito Santo’s team against the Reds.

When it was confirmed two and a half years ago that Williams was leaving Liverpool, he sent out an emotional note. The full-back played for the Reds in 33 games overall.
“15 years at this special club, thank you for everything Liverpool,” he stated. “Playing for this team and under Jurgen Klopp has been an honor.

However, I’ve now made the decision to accept a new challenge. I will always be a supporter of the club and wish the team and staff the best of luck in the future. Thank you, and remember YNWA forever.
