Thinks Di Zerbi is better than Pep.
He's bordering on parody now.
Cringe-worthy pundit at this point.

Must be RAF Regiment - wannabe soldier, not a real one.A military man? Ok what regiment?
Or was he a Navy chap, in the glory hole?
Souness is a military man.
A disciplinarian.He is not going to like Pogba.
He also said LVG was one of the world’s best managers. Souness is a dinosaur, who really doesn’t have much insight into the modern game.
Having said that, it’s good to have different opinions, rather than everyone agreeing - but all the other guests constantly call him out for being wrong, it’s somewhat amusing.
Sky/Souness are going to try and make a campaign of this Pogba foul and try and get him barred.
If they're successful, he'll miss how many games?
To summarize it, be basically said that pogba has all the athleticism in the world to be a top midfield player.Can anybody post a video of what he said today?
Not when we employed him he wasn’t. If only we had let him go to spurs. I liked his madness, but he was clearly a dinosaur.Van Gaal was one of the world's best managers
Yeah, basically the opposite of what he said.To summarize it, be basically said that pogba has all the athleticism in the world to be a top midfield player.
I wasn't able to find a link to the video I'm afraid.Can anybody post a video of what he said today?
Pretty much what he was alluding to.Yeah, basically the opposite of what he said.
I love how you interpreted that commentPretty much what he was alluding to.
Direct quote “I don’t think anyone put the shackles on him not with the amount of athleticism he has”
Oh that's a lot of effort mate. Thanks!I wasn't able to find a link to the video I'm afraid.
This is my best recollection of what was said:
REDKNAPP: “I’ve done it before. That’s why I understand. It was a retrospective red card on Tim Cahill playing for Tottenham against Everton. What he’s (Pogba) trying to do is step across the ball to protect him.
“It looks horrendous, don’t get me wrong. It looks like he’s tried to go right over the top of the ball. Personally it’s not malicious. I certainly was not a malicious player. But it looks so bad.
“When I look back, I remember going to see Tim Cahill afterwards and saying ‘I really apologise for that because it looks horrendous, but I genuinely didn’t mean it’. It’s just when you step across the ball to protect it and let it roll across your body. It looks like a red but personally it doesn’t look like it is.”
SOUNESS: “I think it’s a red card. Sorry Jamie, I disagree with you. It’s a red card. Not one ounce of doubt in my mind. Not one ounce.
“He knows what he’s done. Let’s start with what Jamie’s saying. You step over it and use your strength to keep the player away.
“But look where the ball is and look where the foot it. When you’re doing that your studs are generally always aiming towards the ground.
REDKNAPP: “Do you think he tried to do him there, Graeme?”
SOUNESS: “Well certainly. I would also say if the referee doesn’t see it as a red card - he sees it as a foul so, he’s seen it as we see it. He’s seen it as a yellow card then he know nothing about football either, the referee.”
REDKNAPP: “Well I know nothing either then. I’ve been in that position Graeme. Mine actually looks a lot worse than that, trust me. I have 10 times worse.
SOUNESS: “I’ve been guilty of that (too) and received that.”
REDKNAPP: “Ha! We know!”
SOUNESS: “For me there’s not one ounce of doubt in my mind that wasn’t him going over the ball.”
REDKNAPP: “But I just don’t think it was malicious.”
KEANE: “I played in the game when Jamie did that. And I think Jamie did mean it to be honest with you! (laughs).”
Yeah, I lied.Oh that's a lot of effort mate. Thanks!
Nevermind. I was a bit skeptical though tbhYeah, I lied.
It was a copy and paste job.
I would have paid to watch that.Here he goes. Why didn't they let Souness go down to the touchscreen with Pogba instead of Redknapp? It would have been world-class telly.
Souness is a military man.
A disciplinarian.He is not going to like Pogba.
cheers, came in here to ask for exactly that!
"I don't want him running into my box and I'm having to track back with him. I think there is a real player in there, someone who has all the equipment to be a top midfielder player.I love how you interpreted that comment
He gave Pogba some praise but then went back to slagging him off."I don't want him running into my box and I'm having to track back with him. I think there is a real player in there, someone who has all the equipment to be a top midfielder player.
"He has the athleticism to arrive in the box late and get lots of goals that way and get well into double figures every year. That will be an enormous asset to United.
"He has the potential to be one of the very best out there."
More from souness. Pretty reasonable interpretation, no?
He said all of that today? I don't recall any of that if I'm being honest mate."I don't want him running into my box and I'm having to track back with him. I think there is a real player in there, someone who has all the equipment to be a top midfielder player.

How do you take that direct quote (which was a dig) and turn it into "To summarize it, be basically said that pogba has all the athleticism in the world to be a top midfield player."Pretty much what he was alluding to.

It’s on this page if you want to see the rest.He said all of that today? I don't recall any of that if I'm being honest mate.
Take your word for it.
That was jusy one of the quotes. It was in a summarization to the whole segment I just posted above this.How do you take that direct quote (which was a dig) and turn it into "To summarize it, be basically said that pogba has all the athleticism in the world to be a top midfield player."
Completely different things.
Don't see it like that.... see it as a backhanded insult (i.e. he's got all this talent but he still does x, y and z wrong).That was jusy one of the quotes. It was in a summarization to the whole segment I just posted above this.
Well Pogba plays for his old clubs arch rivals for a start.I'm just grasping for a reason.
He clearly has a massive personal grudge against Pogba for some reason. Even when forced to praise him all he mentions is how big and strong and athletic he is. He never talks about his technique and skill.
It's bizarre.
Cheers mate
