Souness was not done once he had finished with Salah and Liverpool. He has tipped Arsenal to win the league and steal the club's crown, although he did question the methods that have helped them get into their current position. "Arsenal get away with a hell of a lot by crowding goalkeepers and blocking goalkeepers. I love the term 'free-kick guru'. Their guru is all about fouling the goalkeeper. That's as simple as, black and white. To be successful at free kicks you need a really good kicker of the ball, you need people who will attack the ball, and then you throw in the guy who's fouling the goalkeeper. It's not rocket science."
Chelsea and Liam Rosenior did not escape from Souness' all-out warfare against the Premier League's elite either. He added: "Chelsea are a group of young men put together with no real direction. I think the manager tries too hard with his terminology. Giving players 'assignments'. If the manager said that to me, I'd have laughed at him in his face. I just think he tries too hard to be a top coach, with his body language and what he says. So no surprises for me, Chelsea going out of the Champions League."
Seemingly, the Scotsman has been less than impressed with how the Premier League season has unravelled this season. Whether that is Salah's form, or Arsenal's dark arts, the former Liverpool man clearly thinks this year is one to forget.
