I dunno. Sourness can be quite negative even during victory.
Graeme Souness has slammed Liverpool’s display in their victory over Chelsea in the Super Cup, claiming that it was their worst defensive performance of
Jurgen Klopp’s reign.
"Tonight, and in the two games they played already this season, the game against [Manchester] City at Wembley and against Norwich, in terms of holding a line, when you should hold it and when you should drop off, they’ve been hopeless in these three games.
‘And tonight, this is the worst I’ve seen this Liverpool team defend since Jurgen Klopp has been there. They were all over the place."
‘They were not Liverpool, I’m not seeing a Liverpool that resembles the Liverpool we saw last season.’
Graeme Souness has criticised Liverpool’s Mo Salah for winning a penalty by falling to the ground in a “unnatural way” in their 2-1 victory over West Ham
That is a harsh penalty. You might say in the modern game that’s a penalty, but it’s not a penalty.
“I’ve seen Salah do this time and time again. I think it’s careless from the defender and he has given Salah a chance to throw himself to the ground.
“If you are 10 yards away from that, you can see that Salah has fallen down in an unnatural way, you don’t give it. But the guys in the black jerseys making these decisions keep getting it wrong.”
Graeme Souness believes Liverpool’s players will be kicking themselves for having won only two major trophies after two years of brilliance under Jurgen Klopp.
“They won the Champions League last year and are going to win the Premier League now but I still think Jurgen will look back at this period and feel they should have won more.
“In five years, if they have dominated the Premier League, if they have dominated the Champions League, then they can be considered as good as any team Liverpool has ever had. But to become a legendary team, you’ve got to become serial winners.”
fecking hell Graeme
