Likewise Italian before Torino and Portuguese before Benfica. Classic punditry from Souness, though. Comment on something, completely disregarding their own experiences that were similar/identical.
I honestly don't think Souness plays that game. He has ingrained views about football about how it should be played and who should play it that appear, IMO, a bit outdated.
I'd say he tries to play the Roy Keane 'hard man/grumpy ex-pro' role, but with far less personality and like-ability.
Souness is a pretty tedious – and rude – pundit, to be honest. I watched a clip of him yesterday when Tuchel was sacked from Chelsea and he has ZERO idea of radio etiquette. Barking at Simon Jordan for laughing when he said "Soccer" and then having a go at Jim Shite when he dared to interrupt...
