more of the same from me, SG is second behind Souness. I think Gerrard is in many ways the equal of Souness in terms of footballing ability, but he doesn't have the presence on the pitch. Souness growled and some players were wary of him in the way that they have been with Roy Keane in recent years. Others who thought they could go toe to toe with Souness and kick him about a bit he just shrugged off and outplayed them. Gerrard has several qualities that Souness didnt, he is more athletic, scores more goals, is a much better crosser. For me Souness was a better passer and tackler, so technically they probably balance out quite closely but Souness had a presence they Gerrard is yet to acquire.
