Fair play to ye Graeme Souness

[MrMichael]

Great great player

Dreadful manager though, has never ever seemed to learn from his mistakes, or even admit to them.

Souness is one of the pundits on RTE 2 'The Premiership' programme and he
was full of praise for our performance today, our form of late and the atmosphere at the ground the day, even said we have an outside chance of winning the Premiership, overall very optimistic about the Club.
Ok, maybe he's just stating the obvious but many pundits have already gone on about Chelsea's defensive crisis etc without wanting to praise us for exploiting it and exploiting it well, Souness however doesn't fall into this category thankfully.

Makes a nice change and i think it's pretty clear he's still a Liverpool fan at heart.

makes a change

We'll get slated when we lose and praised when we win. Nothing new there. Watch out when we lose another game.

Souness is the best midfielder to ever play for Liverpool, but one of the worst (if not the worst) managers. Some of his transfers defied belief.

Fair play for him for saying those things but they are just TV pundit comments. The S*n episode marks him down in my book as a bit of a cock.

as for the s*n episode read his view of what went on and TBO makes sence.
badly advised IMO aswell.

As for our worst manager, in my time yes, but did inherit an aging side

Souness is one of the very best pundits out there. Probably the best for me. He is insightful, incisive, articulate and he tells it like it is. When you listen to him talk about football, and the tremendous knowledge he has of the game, it makes you wonder how on earth he made such a crap manager.

For me it MUST essentially boil down to his poor man-management skills.

Not to mention his eye for a player, tactics, staunch belief that everyone is against him....

Yep i think his temper gets the better of him, he was like that as a player, nowadays he might be suspended half the time. I think players need a balanced approach in man management adapting thier style to personalities and ego's. I dont think Souness is capable of that.

Too bloody right he would. He'd have the worst disciplinary record in the game.

He'd rattle into players before they even got out of the centre circle from kick off. The real epitome of old-school. It seemed like he even intimidated refs... he sure wouldn't get away with his 'reducers' these days.

I'll never forget that tackle when he was playing for Rangers. Probably the worst tackle I've ever seen.

There was one that was worst than that, when playing for Scotland... against the Faroes or something. One of the lads at work showed it to me. The poor lad on the receiving end was nearly cut in two... border-line assault.

It's a crying shame Roy Keane never faced Souness on the pitch... a crying shame.

[Sir Bob]

Souness was the worst manager in my lifetime at LFC
SG apart, he's the best midfield player we've had.
As a bloke he's a complete dickhead.

Classic Souness. Not the one I meant - can't find that anywhere - but a beauty all the same.
