Graeme Souness

GRAEME SOUNESS: Postecoglou has a way of playing that he is sticking to and it's all well and good being principled. But the pressure will very quickly become even greater if he does not adapt.

GRAEME SOUNESS: The stress of managing Manchester City lately was etched all over Pep Guardiola 's face following their midweek capitulation against Feyenoord.

GRAEME SOUNESS: They must be jumping up and down with delight in the Chelsea boardroom at the moment as they find their side second in the Premier League table.

GRAEME SOUNESS: Look at who is making the most passes in the Premier League today and statistics tell you they are all defenders. On average, they touch the ball 72 times a game.

GRAEME SOUNESS: Farhad Moshiri will not be remembered by Evertonians with great fondness. He promised a great deal but his tenure will be regarded as nothing short of a disaster.

GRAEME SOUNESS: Fernandes is easily their most talented player. He is up there with anyone else in the league at being able to play that killer ball but the rest of his game is lacking in a big way.

GRAEME SOUNESS: I feel sorry for the manager Ruben Amorim because I firmly believe he has walked into a vipers' nest. And it will need everyone to believe in him for him to succeed.

GRAEME SOUNESS: There are no surprises in store for him whereas a foreign manager could possibly take half a dozen games to get into his stride.

GRAEME SOUNESS: Postecoglou has used the same terms before and you can't keep repeating yourself game after game, especially when you have lost 11 Premier League games by January.

GRAEME SOUNESS: The more I see of Manchester City, the more I am surprised their powers-that-be didn't see this coming. They've been caught asleep at the wheel.
