Wilson had to retract his comment after the Reds battered Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday.
On The Footballer's Football Podcast, 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."
Wilson had made the initial comments after his team were beaten by Liverpool in the Premier League recently.
