Graeme Souness explains Pogba feud & makes bold Steven Gerrard claim | The Robbie Fowler Podcast
Спорт
Liverpool and Scotland legend Graeme Souness follows on from Jurgen Klopp as the latest guest on the Robbie Fowler Podcast. No nonsense on and off the pitch, Graeme lifts the lid on football management today, reveals why he only ever asked one question in seven years at Liverpool and adds another illuminating chapter to his ongoing 'feud' with Manchester United's Paul Pogba.
The Scot also reflects on the biggest low of his career, why he always knew Robbie was destined for the top and gives his verdict on Steven Gerrard's managerial future.
The Robbie Fowler Podcast | In conversation with Graeme Souness | Episode 3 | In partnership with McDonald's UAE.

I cannot disagree with you. He did play for the"great" club......and he makes a even greater point. That Celtic and Rangers level playing field are as big a club as anyone. Spot on statement.
I've got all the time in the world for Greame Souness. Proper legend.
Mr Souness, what a player, manager and man. I'm a United fan but respect to him. They just don't make men like this any more. Would love to see him back in management. Think he has grown as a person so much. So much knowledge and experience to impart

What a man,a true leader takes responsibility,in that,he is second to none. In the souness era you had to be able to take care of yourself and your slighter team mates,he did it all whilst sticking the ball in the net at the same time. I had the moment of my life ,next to my son being born,when i met him at the meet n greet at secc in glasgow a couple o years ago with hately durranty jim white,got to meet him face to face,i was so overcome i lifted him up in a big bear hug,he took it brilliantly in the spirit it was given, love the man,he gave me more pleasure than my own mother growing up.but thats another story.I,m 61 now.❤ Sooooooness,the BEST!!
Wow Souness is nearly 70 and Robbie is nearly 50! They both look younger than me!!! Im glad Ive found this channel some very good interviews 2 big thumbs up from me :)
Graeme his a top man and we the Liverpool fans love him and one of a great Liverpool player
I’m am Man United fan - but I always listen to what Graeme says. I “hated” him as a player - which tells you all you need to know about how good he was. He has fought back from numerous setbacks - I respect the man.

Fantastic player who was one of my inspirations. I always tried to be aggressive and competitive in midfield. Thought he was going to be perfect as manager of LFC but a lot of things went wrong. Ageing squad. A few big transfers which didn't work out.
I did not see Souness play, I only knew him as a manager and I did not used to like him because of that ( I saw him as the reason we fell from grace I was 9-11 years old at the time), but I grew up and educated myself, watched him as an LFC player, and revised my opinion, and now I love Souness. I also realise now, he took it too early, also there were other factors involved that were nothing to do with Souness. Nothing but love and respect for the man, I wish he could have done better in his management time with us, but what he did as a player (and WHAT A PLAYER!!!!!) wipes out any bad management years in my eyes. Please forgive my childish previous reasoning I knew no better, but I made sure I learned better in the future Thanks for being one of our greatest I think in my lifetime only the likes of Gerrard and maybe Xabi were on the same level. Legend and great man (dude has a heart of gold, integrity and it clearly pains him he could not achieve what he wished at the helm of LFC) My mum is from the Northwest and was born on Merseyside, but I was born in the south west, and I did not have liverpool fans around me to educate me on the club (my Mum's brothers were all born in Manchester and were all Man u fans, and her father was a Man city fan), so I was ignorant really up until the mid 00's when I went on a mission to learn as much as I could about my club
Great video Guys! always enjoyed listening to Graham Souness talking football' he's a living legend at Ibrox.. and rightly so! He was a major influence on 'not' just Rangers when he became their manager.. he actually dragged the rest of the Scottish football league to achieve higher standards along with Rangers' bcos with his natural drive to always be a winner and getting the Gers to where they rightly belonged (at the top💪) it actually forced the rest of the league to raise their standards on and off the field' in a rapid fashion just trying to stay in (The Famous) Glasgow Rangers slipstream 🛫....

Your were a gent and talked to myself, father-in-law and son for a good while LEGEND
Souness a hero of mine.
Apart from Robbie's wind issues, this is the best footy podcast out there!
What a wonderful player, even starting out at Middlesbrough,he was brilliant ran games.UTB.
Standing on the Kop even us would wince at some of Graemes tackles but a total dedicated and Liverpool legend
Saying it as it is and as he says digging a player out is the reason him and keane are pundits and not managers , the sad way football has softened that a player cant take a bollocking
When Graham says the players were expected to take responsibility, the emphasise is on 'empowering' the players rather than micro managing them and fault finding. Being encouraged to act on your own initiative without fear of penalty, works. Being held responsible for using your initiative, doesn't as it's not conducive in empowering you.
Loved it.
Can I please ask what happened to the Paul Scholes interview.
Great interview... Bill Nicholson told a 15 year old Souness to be like Ray Buncle, a midfielder who sprinted forward while attacking and sprinted back while defending.. Remember Ray Buncle
Brilliant reflection On how players were managed I wonder what will be said at Enfield after the loss this weekend The last years medals in the story is amazing 👍🏽
So true what Souness said there "You only get a job at a football club cos there's problems there). What would be torture for Graeme Souness in the year 2021? Probably been made to watch one of those motivational videos on You Tube.
This whole Pogba/Souness crap was blown up to ridiculous proportions for media purposes only. Souness, like everybody else, can obviously see the unquestionable talent & ability but we ALL question his attitude. Paul Scholes & Roy Keane have said the exact same thing about Pogba
