you see, i think a lot of nostalgia clouds peoples vision on this. Souness was a great player, but with all due respect to him, in the era he played, he had top class players all around him. he didnt do it all on his own. Gerrard hasnt had that luxury, he has had to carry players in our team in recent years, and its only now, as the team improves, we will see the best of Stevie as he plays with better players. also, if you are comparing like for like, i think Gerrard is a better player at 25 than Souness was. the thing about Stevie is, you could probably play him in any of teh 10 outfield positions, and he could play there on merit and Skill, Souness wasnt that versatile. i think Stevie will become a better central midfielder than Souness, and if he does, he will be a hell of a player, because Souness the player was out of this world!
