Souness: Salah produced a greedy performance against Brighton 

I didn’t think he was too bad last night I’ve seen him a lot worse in fact I thought he was excellent the sharpest I’ve seen him for a while .

I can only think of one occasion yesterday when he went on a run from the half way line when a first time ball would have played Mane in other that that all his attempts on goal were justified.

On the plus side as the stats prove he’s been involved in so many gaols at least you know he’s going to be busting a gut these last four games to win the golden boot which can only help in getting the hundred points 

Yep, as someone else said it was a Ronaldo like performance. 

Very good and very greedy.

I don’t think he was too greedy with the ball, but he was visibly frustrated a few times when the ball didn’t get to him, especially a couple of times Robbo was free down the left.

But he played with a smile on his face too, so there’s nothing to get upset about with it.

the one you mention where he could’ve put Mane in, I agree with you, but he never actually had the ball under control after cheating it. His next touch left it behind. I don’t think he’d have passed it if he had taken a better touch, but as it was the defender was able to come in and block him.

i agree with souness that the golden boot is clearly on his mind, but otherwise nothing to see here

Fuck Souness. You were a great player but a shocking manager and Klopp knows way better than you about handling players and winning trophies.

He's spelt exceptional performance wrong there 

I don’t think Souness was saying it as a criticism.

Is right,  Salah 

Best all round performance from him for a while. Didn't think he was particularly selfish.

That's the impression I got, as a striker there is a certain amount of selfishness required. I'm pretty sure I heard him say that Mané at times was selfish too but Salah was on another level.

He set up Hendo's goal and I think the one time where he definitely could have played Mané in, it would have been one hell of a pass while running at speed.

I’d agree with him and wouldn’t take it as a criticism, given that Salah continues to smash various club goalscoring records. 
 

I wouldn’t criticise Alisson for wanting to keep clean sheets either.

Exactly 

He can be frustrating but I want my forwards to want goals goals goals. If anything he only had one chance to put someone else in a better position and he stumbled before it anyway. I still called him a twat at the time but after the replay I got my cock back out. 

His stats in the league this season are absolute filth: 30 games, 19 goals, 9 assists.

He failed at Liverpool but on balance he didn’t have a bad managerial career overall.

Southampton and Newcastle fans would probably beg to disagree.

I am not just having a go at Souness,although I saw a lot of our games when he was manager,but I just hate these money for old rope jobs ex footballers get for largely spouting banal shite most of us who watch it do anyway. Also,what's with Carragher raising and dropping the tone of his voice with almost every sentence when co-commentating? God,its annoying! If it wasnt for my lad having the remote control I would just watch the games with no sound.

Succeeded at Rangers, with a mixture of money and sheer bloody-mindedness. Deserves credit too for ending the ban on signing Catholics. 
Failed at Anfield. 
My Southampton-supporting pals thought he was OK. They were three points and one place better off than they had been a year before, and his signings weren’t bad - the Ali Dia episode looms large of course. 
Blackburn went well. Not everyone does well at Blackburn.
Newcastle went badly. Not many do well at St James. 
His foreign adventures? Mainly notable for signing Dean Saunders over and over again, and for signing a bizarre number of Brits at Benfica.

More remembered for planting the flag in the centre circle in Turkey.

Aye, that was bonkers. Still, to spend 12 months at a club, win two trophies (albeit not the league, which is what they really wanted), and to deliver an enormous public Fuck You to their biggest rivals... well, that’s OK. There’s probably a pub quiz question somewhere in Barry Venison, Dean Saunders Mike Marsh, and Brad Friedel all playing for them at that time too. 
So Ah ain, for me Souness wasn’t a shocking manager. The only stinkers were Liverpool and Newcastle, whereas Rangers was an undoubted success. The rest was generally either decent or good.
