Graeme Souness: Listen ! I would have won 3 EPL & 3 UCL if Pogba had played against us in the 90s.

[@mr.nav2226]

well he did win 3 UCL as a player and IDK how many league titles. He's way more decorated than Pogba. And probably a better player to.

[@hmu05366]

Huh?

[@KakaACMiIan]

@@mr.nav2226 Souness had a certain mentality, wich already makes him better. Pogba obviously has more skill but he doesn't have character

[@bigheadedm]

@@mr.nav2226 Pogba is better he has won the World Cup and won the serie A, however yes as in club football Souness have achieved better

[@mr.nav2226]

@@bigheadedm Souness is Scottish. Pogba wouldn't even get Scotland into WC in first place.

Our best ever skipper and midfielder. The man is a legend at Liverpool.❤

[@malcolmholmes2205]

Still one of the greatest to wear the shirt and with pride.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

He is still one of only a few British managers that have won domestic trophies with two different clubs. FA Cup with Liverpool and League Cup with Blackburn.

[@hmu05366]

Yeh and loads at rangers and galatasaray as well

[@Anthony-Testicali]

Souness's Liverpool spell was disastrous. This interview is taken at a time when he was still defensive and being economical with the truth. He wasnt there for ' 2 and a bit years. It was a full 36 months ie 3 years. He didnt inherit an " old squad" who "hadnt won anything for 2 years" they were league champions 18 months earlier and runners up 6 months earlier.The " old players" he talks about were 29 or 30 year olds and still with lots of mileage.He got rid of Beardsley,Staunton and his recruitment was some of the very worst of the 80s or 90s by a big 6 club in what were easier times to get it right. Ruddock,Dicks,Saunders,Walters,Thomas were not Liverpool signings

[@mossga]

Staunton was shite.

[@rohithraman6488]

Graeme - You see, we lost cause Pogba went missing again. He just walks around admiring his fancy hair, offers nothing, I would never take him on my team, never!

[@bobuk161]

Still the best midfielder we ever had in my opinion

[@68blues]

Excellent comment! One of the best Scottish schoolboy players, 1968.

[@simondelaney6483]

How could he not know the strength of feeling against The Scum newspaper? This was 3 years after Hillsborough! He should have resigned after this for sure

[@omegaman6494]

Not an LFC fan but he admitted in an interview he should've resigned as soon as that pic hit that paper

[@mor4665]

i believe souness’s story, and it wasn’t until the late 90’s/early 2000’s that arsene wenger changed football nutrition..

[@SFNDMK]

Not really. Souness did inherit an older team, but they were no where near as derelict as Souness claims them to be. They were defending champions and were still in the title race when he was appointed. The problem he had was that he made too many decisions which spoiled the cohesion of the team. He got rid of the right players at the wrong time and brought in replacements that simply weren't good enough. Changes were to be made but had to be done sparingly, which was part of Liverpool success in the 2 decades prior

[@KakaACMiIan]

These Pogba comments aren't even funny...

[@Doggomorph]

Uno reverse where the players have boomer mentalities while the manager has fresh ideas

[@hmu05366]

What?

[@SFNDMK]

While he needed to make changes, Souness's issue was he was far too impulsive and impatient. making too many decisions and changes instead of doing it gradually.

[@brandonayong5823]

Mourinho After beating Liverpool " Jose why did you run down the tunnel screaming" They wanted the clowns "? What did you mean by that?" " I don't know. I was speaking with somebody about circus" " How did you beat Liverpool 2-0 at anfield with 13 pr 100 of ball possession?" " You speak with Jamie redknapp the brillant football brain of the world who is paid to talk on a chair. He will tell you everything about it"

[@smallarmskepa4390]

You’re no different than them. Get a grip

[@brentletord8721]

As a player was one of the greats to put the red shirt on. Never take that away from him. As manager I think that mistake he made with the sun paper especially when it was the Hillsborough disaster anniversary really made his job untenable.

[@paulcarbonaro6748]

Graeme wasn't the brains at Rangers - Walter Smith was. Also, he signed players for Liverpool that simply weren't 'Liverpool' players, such as Julian Dicks. Shankly, Paisley, and Fagan would never have signed such a player. Frankly, Geaeme ruined Liverpool and established the decline which would result in decades without a League championship. And, he was no great shakes either at any of the other clubs he managed. Maybe he didn't want it, but Ronnie Moran should have become the manager, assisted by Roy Evans.

[@IndieVolken]

souness was a cheque book manager at rangers - they were paying 1 million for players up against likes of hamilton (who beat them at home btw) paul rideout was signed for close on 1 mill as temp replacement for mark hateley - who was out injured for couple of months = then there's andy gray .....

[@paulgray7014]

dealt with the sun newspaper which was unforgivable as Liverpool manager

[@mossga]

He's apologised multiple times. If anybody deserves to be forgiven it's Souey. I understand when people don't forgive him, but he gave blood for us.

[@danielmckerrigan2385]

Hadn't won anything for 2 years? They were defending champions

Graeme on Pogba, 2003: "For me, he's lazy. He doesn't do enough in training." Pogba was 10 years old at the time

[@mazza8576]

Loved souness as our captain. I was absolutely heartbroken when he did that sun interview, like a lot of us were. I was a young kid in lpool devastated by it all. FA cup final that year? I didn't watch it. None of us could after what Souness did. We burnt loads of sun papers in the local park. This interview, he kinda blames it on others and says 'Liverpool players did it' ' well, does that make it right? Sorry but Souness, I have absolutely no respect for you. The quite funny thing is, years later, his autobiography was ghost written by Mike Ellis, who was a Sun reporter at the time of hillsborough and when the book was written, many years later

[@mossga]

The man apologised. If anybody deserves our forgiveness it's him. Kenny has clearly forgiven him. I get that people reserve the right not to forgive him, but I love the man and I've made my peace with it.
