I'm not convinced that's totally true.
And Souness being a 'legend' is irrelevant when discussing him as a pundit and Fishpie is quite within his rights to criticise him if he thinks he talks sh*te.
Since FSG have been in place we have seen all our 'characters' slowly forced out, whether you choose to believe that or not is totally up to you and i don't think i have said otherwise.
Myself and fishpie were discussing the comments made by Souness yesterday with regards to all the leaders leaving the Club, men who can shape and influence the youngsters at the Club.
Regardless of whether Souness made those comments as a pundit or not, those words were from his heart as a player who has been there and done it. He knows better then most the need for 'character' in any Squad.
If you feel Souness was talking sh*te with regards to those comments then i welcome any debate from yourself specifically. Though how you can put up a defence against that is something i am looking forward to.
This Squad needs leaders and after this Season, barring Skrtel and Gerrard, i don't see anyone capable of taking up the mantle. Do you?
Somebody put a post in another thread earlier about how we have lost players like Reina, Agger, Suarez, Carra and now Gerrard. Not one of these players has been replaced with sufficient quality.
We have seen numerous times this Season where we have lacked any authority or aggression on the field of play. If the manager can't get the players up for a fight then it's down to the players in the Squad to galvanise the team. It isn't happening and the last few weeks have been proof of that.
Souness was not talking sh*te, he said what he saw and what he has seen, i have seen it too, i'm sure plenty of others have too.
