This has been coming for Graeme Souness for a long, long time. What other pundits, commentators or media outlets would you like to see in the firing line?
For context; Gary Neville has become a successful property developer since retiring from football, most notably with Hotel Football. He’s also been part of the committee including Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and London Olympics architect Lord Coe, tasked with figuring out the Old Trafford stadium and regeneration project. If that doesn’t scream ‘conflict of interest’, I don’t know what does.
Mainoo should be under scrutiny. Average player. Zero pace. 61 games. 5 goals. 1 assist. Average game duration 64 mins. 19 years old, and he has no stamina, no pace & the poor little fellow gets tired. United fans have lost all standards. Fans will push back with the same old excuses.
Graeme Souness back in 2000 after coaching Benfica from 1997 to 1999 (winning zero titles) gave an interview to News of the World commenting on portuguese team and players before the opening match of the Euro 2000 between England and Portugal. Quotes like "Portugal doesn't have world class players", "England will demolish Portugal", "Rui Costa plays with no responsability", "Baia is a tricky goalkeeper", "João Pinto doesn't pose a threat" and "Tony Adams will eat Nuno Gomes". This was the best motivation Portugal could have to beat England with João Pinto and Nuno Gomes both scoring, Rui Costa with 2 great assists and Baia with decisive saves keeping the score after the 3-2 to Portugal. Use his stupidity to motivate you. It works!

@ how was he not? Pogba failed at utd and has zero career now. Casemiro failed in the prem and has had some of the worst performances of his career in the last year. both arent now playing well thriving are they? souness won. cope and seeth more

@ agree, United have been a let down. But I have to agree with Sourness. When you buy an 100mil player then you expect that player to significantly elevate the level of the team. Did Pogba do that? I see Pogba as a player that shines when he had top players around him - like he did at Juve and for France.
@@bigregful exactly. Pogba only ever showed he was a good player when surrounded by other top tier players. He couldn’t elevate United. And for 100 mil on a midfielder you expect that .

@ "spews a deep hatred". Lol. His comments are totally balanced and fair. He gave Pogba loads of helpful advice that might have saved his career, if you actually listen to what he said
We know you're a Rashford fanboy. But, the majority of fans want him gone, because he is not good enough, and never has been. 2 bad seasons, in 9? Stop lying.

Ronaldo had every right to tell his story. Time has only helped his arguments seem stronger. Pogba is also entitled to tell his story if he so chooses. That being said, comparing the two players is outlandish. Ronaldo actually tried, Pogba had no passion playing for United. I don't know if it was the coaches, the system's or the fans but watching Pogba play at United vs Pogba playing for France showed how little he cared. Pogba was a worldclass player playing for France, at United he was disapointing.
@Woze4419 exactly this! You can tell those fans who just don't have a high footballing IQ by their comments on Pogba. Was he always at his best, far from it, the team was a shambles, but that boy did things that nobody has done in our midfield since
As a Utd fan, I'll say Pogba was inconsistent and needed a lot of babysitting (like Scholes says), but had a few big moments. Casemiro has proved to be exactly what Souness said. 89kg isn't heavy, I'm tall and relatively thin and I weigh 95kg with much less muscle mass than De Ligt. Mainoo has dropped off a bit recently and seems a bit lost sometimes. He's not bad at all, needs to learn a bit. There are a LOT of current and former black Utd players that Souness hasn't said a thing about, because why would he? He's not Ron Atkinson. Admittedly, he doesn't understand finance - Utd are £700m in debt and the Glazers are valuing the club at £10 billion, the sh&*s. Ronaldo flagged everything we've seen since he left, because he knew...I could go on. All this video shows is a bias against Souness. I don't like him either, he's not entertaining, he's never liked Utd, but at least I'd find better examples if I was doing a video like this.
Yes Pogba was inconsistent. No, Casemiro has not proved to be a steady Eddie. He had a marvellous first season with a few goals for his position. Yes, he has dropped off since then but that doesn't take away from the player he was years prior. It's like judging Keane for his performances in Celtic.
89 kg for a footballer of de ligjt size isn't considered lightweight. we're talking about europe top league standard. boateng was a massive unite in football standard and he weighed around 90kg during his prime. jaap stam was also not a light weight and he was also around 90kg. they're all around de light size. so de ligjt isn't lightweight.
i know this isn’t the place for it, but i kept seeing Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane mentioned over and over in comments, and curiosity finally got the better of me. i read the book, and honestly, it’s one of the most practical guides to understanding manifestation i’ve ever seen. it’s not about instant results, but you can feel the difference as you apply what it teaches. seeing how people respond to me now, i totally get why it’s all over the comments.
Pogba was a massive waste of money and was sent on a free by SAF for a reason. His poor attitude and his negative dressing room influence. Souness might be a pxxxx, but he called it right on Pobga. The bigger criticism should be of our reckless and rubbish recruitment dept who saw it fit to pay 100mill for him.
Actually, around £half a billion of fan money was wasted on Pogba in fees, wages, lost fees etc in the end. It is the number reason why our FFP spending power is in such a mess today. My comments on the guy are much harsher than those of Souness.
Not a fan of Souness by any means but he has got most things right regarding a lot of our players. Pogba and Casemiro have not been successful signings at United. Rashford and Mainoo are not as good as the hype suggests. Racism has nothing to do with pointing out the obvious
In context souness was saying pogba should do better and was in no way a leader, which was correct. The rest of the media at the time made excuses for him for years, such as he needs X amount of world class players around him. He needs someone like kante to do 2 mens work so he can be a luxury player etc Nev and co glazed him for years when he was average at best.
Yip he actually praised Pogba and offered him encouragement and advice from his own experience at playing at the top level. All these weak men hear is race and tone of skin when nobody is saying anything about that.
It's Souness fault United are a relegation team 😂 , it's Souness fault Pogba was a lazy player on the pitch and was collecting loads of money and went to Juventus as a free agent ? Are Juventus racist for releasing him now ?😂 This United fans can't see the forest from the trees
You could write down the names of every single 'pundit' on a piece of paper, close your eyes and stick a pin in it - and come up with a 'winner' for the most disliked pundit in football. They are all bloody awful and absolutely stealing a living!
😂 yeah , the player Roy Keane tried to emulate is jealous of United ? Give me a break. Pogba is lazy , Casemiro is washed and Mainoo is lazy too , these United players are Europa League level players at best even Bruno Fernandes has more Europa League apps than UCL it's not bias it's the truth😂
Love your content Sam, I’ve been watching for years. But this video feels a bit too personal. I’m not a fan of Souness, but insinuating he’s racist, is a bit much.
Yeah absolutely disgusting. Souness signed the first black man in Scottish football when he was manager of Rangers. And he famously stood up to the Liverpool old boys when they started picking on a young black player at training.
Agreed. He's not the first TH-camr to insinuate this either. If I were Souness I'd be getting my solicitor on the case. I'm no fan of Souness, we used to see him quite a bit on Irish broadcasts of international tournaments, but this is a low blow.
Poking fun at Sourness is fine, he's a a Liverpool guy. Insinuating that someone is racist because they criticize players is disgusting. The irony is a lot of United fans have criticized the very same players, does that make us racist?
when the criticism is illogical and the obvious reasoning behind it is race, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand race is major factor to it. And a lot of “criticism” pogba received from “fans” had nothing to do with football, just people do not like an expressive black player for example his haircuts. Garnacho gets his hair done and rightly so there’s no outrage no tweets, but when it was pogba though?
@ pogba was a bad signing because he didn’t suited the players around him majority of the time and casemiro was quality for his first season then ETH switched things in the middle it killed him. That was never the criticism souness said
It does tend to be black players who get labelled with the "he's thick, he's stupid, he's lacking intelligence, he's low IQ" stuff though, and not just from Souness
Pogba was terrible both terms. Graham is right. If any United fan thinks differently, you should be embarrassed. Same with Casemiro at United. Rashford has been average. 2 decent seasons. Mainoo slow, no returns. Sam, you are just wrong. None of the players mentioned would ever get into anyone's all time 11 squad, not even on the bench. Facts are facts. Fergie drove the sale to the Glazers. Remember that.
Been watching your videos for years and this is my first comment and I just had to comment and say PREACH! Pogba was my favourite player when he came and seeing how Graeme treated him was so disappointing.
All pundits are biased. They are specifically paid to give their biased opinions. Of course Souness is biased towards LFC and against Utd. What a bizarre thing to be crying about. They are pundits not referees. And he was right about Pogba and Martinez and most other things
I don't like Souness but tbh he was right about Martinez being too small, Pogba being a waste of money and Casimeiro past his best. Think you have a grudge against him Sam. Still have to laugh at him signing Ali Dia 😂🤣😂
@GodsGiftx7 Yo what's your problem you plank. It's an open comments section so unless your a mod you can do one. Learn football you say...😂🤣😂 sorry Ronaldo 😂🤣😂 Godsgift to what? 😂🤣😂
Your takes on Pogba are ridiculous, 4 assists in one game and somehow you forget how useless he was throughout is second stint. Other than that fair enough, maybe
Don't understand what points the narrator is making here. All of these players have turned out to be worse than Graham Souness suggested. Name one that has excelled in a Man Utd shirt?
They are deluded like most of their fanbase cnt take the truth abt their club.. He aint wrong look at the position of their club is for everyone to see except those clowns!! 😂😂
@@2muchblackcoffee The United fans were far far worse than Souness as far as criticizing Pogba is concerned and they way they have treated Rashford is bordering on bullying to be honest.
Souness is absolutely fine. Completely nonsense video. His takes are completely logical most of the time and the Pogba meme is ridiculous; he was shite. There's plenty of pundits WAY worse than Souness. This video is just bitter and spiteful.
Yeah this is desperate and embarrassing deflection to take away from this being the worst Utd team of all time. Souness was supportive and gave good advice to Pogba if you actually listen to what he said
@ Everyone on earth is "ageing". You just aged in the last minute. What's that got to do with anything? He is paid (lots of money) to talk about lots of clubs and players. He played for and managed many clubs. Why is he only "allowed" to talk about LFC? Lol
That intro for UP Productions has some real generational potential about it. Something people might really remember in years to come And the cut leading up to the freeze frame at 2:21 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Magnificent.
this isn’t really related to the video, but i have to say-i kept seeing people talk about Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane in comment sections everywhere. after weeks of wondering, i finally decided to read the book, and i get it now. it’s not just about wishful thinking; it’s about learning how to truly focus your energy and align it with your intentions. it’s made me rethink so many things about how i approach life.
I’ve told this story before but it is still very vivid in my memory. I attended a Chelsea v Liverpool match in 1977 as a nine year old, my Dad had managed to get tickets and additionally also managed to get us behind the scenes permission. To a kid just starting to get into football, it was an amazing feeling to get up and personal with some of the greatest players around at the time. Along with other lucky kids on that day we were well looked after, had pictures taken and our autograph books signed by all the players of both teams. That is except for two Liverpool players, who declined pictures and autographs. They had such a nasty attitude towards us, we were only kids and they were two of the biggest football stars of their day. That episode cemented my opinion of these two players throughout their careers and I never once saw them in any other light. They spoilt what should have been a very happy memory for me and both were Scottish internationals. The worst of the two was Graeme Souness, for the way he spoke and dismissed us, I am pretty sure you can work out who the other player was! 😢
I love your show, but there are so many contradictions on this, I haven't got the patience to write them all and I think the leading presumptions are dangerous and not something I'd expect from this channel unlike others... Not sure what lead to uptv to thinking this was a good idea.
Sam please I implore you to just ignore his idiotic takes. He's an idiot and biased, please stop talking him, he's irrelevant now, relagated to Talksport appearances. Just don't bite to him anymore he's not worth it.
To be fair, if you did one of these videos about Roy Keane it would be a lot more brutal regarding the players he was talking about. But of course most of it would be due to emotion, his high standards, and with a generous dollop of dry humour involved too (like telling DeGea he's not getting back on the bus!). Which is a big contrast compared to Souness, who is always deadly serious, and always looking for reasons to put players down.
Absolutely LOVE the unhinged Sam in this 😂 great production, team well done! Every United fan knows Souness's hatred towards the club. He was trying to compliment Mainoo and slate him at the same time. 🔔🔚
Mate your rashford stance in this video is nuts 😂😂😂 guy averages 8 prem goals a season and if you look at his stats majority of his goals come from EFL
He was in the team from 18. You wouldn't expect a teenager to be posting big numbers, you'd hope to see steady progression, which is what we saw. Ronaldo didn't hit double figures for league goals until his 4th full season when he was 22, and I think you'd agree he was playing in a much better team. And your "majority of goals in the EFL" argument doesn't hold water when only 10% of his goals were in the EFL cup. 72% were in the PL and Champions League. In fact, and it is a fact, in the PL era only 6 players have got more PREMIER LEAGUE goals and assists for us than Rashy. It's quite impressive considering he's played in mostly garbage teams with garbage managers.
this might be a bit off-topic, but has anyone else noticed how often Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane comes up in video comments? i finally caved and read the book, and wow-it’s worth the buzz. it’s not just some feel-good advice; it actually gives you tools to focus your energy and make things happen. it’s subtle at first, but then you start to see how much of a difference it makes in how you approach your goals
unbelievable player one of the greatest midfielders ever who was way more than just a combative holding midfielder to even suggest that souness was a steady Eddie is laughable
Nah, respectuflly i disagree with this video. I'm not a real fan of any club in the premiere league and am cheering for united to get back to its former glory, but Souness isn't wrong in the things he said. Casemiro came to Man Utd from a (best ever?) Real Madrid squad and is overrated for the kind of praise he was getting from people. Pogba has talent but is problematic, Souness is right about the price tag vs. what he delivers. You say there's an X amount of players that managed giving 4 assists in the prem's history, but how many of them cost THAT much money and were THAT problematic for their clubs? Maybe I agree with the directness of Souness because I'm Dutch, but I feel like he hasn't said anythig that is wrong. Maybe the way he says things could be done differently, but stay true.
I can't stand Souness, but you insinuating racism is out of order. He's got a history of suing for libel; let's hope you haven't become a little too big for your own boots with this one. Your channel has become so negative in recent months. I'm not sure if it is a quest for more views or what, but the lack of negativity and toxic posts is what set you apart from other channels. I haven't watched a live or finished a video of yours in weeks; maybe it's just me.
No, it's not just you. It's become a modern day Maoist struggle session channel, Orwellian cancel culture full of hate and stirring up division between men with different tones of skin. Despicable
@jhpfdijtuiweruot didn't you watched the video. The argument is that he said before the signing was confirmed. And after the first season , you wouldn't have said he was a steady Eddie, would you? The host's point is this guy always say stuff without any basis.
ridiculous nonsense. So arrogant to believe a 19-year-old cannot be criticised for his positioning, when United’s midfield gets overrun every week. Also, implying that the man is a racist when in the very same clip he is giving praise to Greenwood shows how stupid your deductions are; when he criticises De Ligt and Martinez he is a deluded lunatic, but when he criticises Lingard, Rashford and Pogba he is a racist. He didn’t like Pogba because he was an overpaid, overrated primadonna who turned up once in a blue moon, I cannot believe United fans are still protecting Pogba, even trying to rewrite history to suggest that he wasn’t a complete failure. Kobbie Mainoo's positioning needs to improve or change position so he doesn’t have to run back, as quickly as required, as often. De Ligt went to Juve as a hyped starboy but didn’t put any trees up, he went to Bayern who decided he was surplus to requirements, I can understand why Souness felt he was Lightweight, but at the moment he has been one of United’s best players this season, so he is wrong on that one. You have defended players who have received deserved criticism and opted for a vicious attack on a pundit who has got most of his analysis right.
This has been coming for Graeme Souness for a long, long time. What other pundits, commentators or media outlets would you like to see in the firing line?
Danny Mills and any of the talk sport mob please and thankyou Sam.
Neville is a deffo one. Pretty much everyone on TalkSport, especially Simon Jordan.

Not a fan of Souness by any means but he has got most things right regarding a lot of our players. Pogba and Casemiro have not been successful signings at United. Rashford and Mainoo are not as good as the hype suggests. Racism has nothing to do with pointing out the obvious
In context souness was saying pogba should do better and was in no way a leader, which was correct.
The rest of the media at the time made excuses for him for years, such as he needs X amount of world class players around him.
He needs someone like kante to do 2 mens work so he can be a luxury player etc
Nev and co glazed him for years when he was average at best.
Yip he actually praised Pogba and offered him encouragement and advice from his own experience at playing at the top level. All these weak men hear is race and tone of skin when nobody is saying anything about that.
We have nothing better to do here at United... It's what happens when your team is perilously close to relegation.
It's Souness fault United are a relegation team 😂 , it's Souness fault Pogba was a lazy player on the pitch and was collecting loads of money and went to Juventus as a free agent ? Are Juventus racist for releasing him now ?😂 This United fans can't see the forest from the trees
Agbonlahor or Carragher are right up there with being the most disliked pundit .
I would argue Rashford has never had a good season. And Pogba we now acting like it was as success and not a terrible deal..
Dont make it a race thing ffs.
You could write down the names of every single 'pundit' on a piece of paper, close your eyes and stick a pin in it - and come up with a 'winner' for the most disliked pundit in football. They are all bloody awful and absolutely stealing a living!
He’s always hated Utd because of their success, to me comes across as a very bitter man. Brilliant mini documentary as always, well done Sam and co👍👍
Better than every utd midfielder ever
liverpool were bigger
Why would he be jealous? He's won it all and then some.
@@mr-ov5gtbetter at bresking legs. He was god awful
😂 yeah , the player Roy Keane tried to emulate is jealous of United ? Give me a break. Pogba is lazy , Casemiro is washed and Mainoo is lazy too , these United players are Europa League level players at best even Bruno Fernandes has more Europa League apps than UCL it's not bias it's the truth😂
he was right about pogba. Imagine defending pogba, you're delusional mate.
If you look at both Pogba and Rashfords united careers overall it's abysmal from a scale of 1-10 neither of them is getting over a 5
Great video Sam, Paul Merson next please
Love your content Sam, I’ve been watching for years. But this video feels a bit too personal. I’m not a fan of Souness, but insinuating he’s racist, is a bit much.
Yeah absolutely disgusting. Souness signed the first black man in Scottish football when he was manager of Rangers. And he famously stood up to the Liverpool old boys when they started picking on a young black player at training.
Agreed. He's not the first TH-camr to insinuate this either. If I were Souness I'd be getting my solicitor on the case. I'm no fan of Souness, we used to see him quite a bit on Irish broadcasts of international tournaments, but this is a low blow.
Hated for saying the truth
If The Sun had a voice and a face, it’d be Souness
I prefer Souness to Carragher, Owen, Murphy or Keown.
No one is worse than Gary Neville trust me, disliked hideous and a true modern day mercenary .
Poking fun at Sourness is fine, he's a a Liverpool guy. Insinuating that someone is racist because they criticize players is disgusting. The irony is a lot of United fans have criticized the very same players, does that make us racist?
Souness def have a racial bias.
when the criticism is illogical and the obvious reasoning behind it is race, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand race is major factor to it.
And a lot of “criticism” pogba received from “fans” had nothing to do with football, just people do not like an expressive black player for example his haircuts. Garnacho gets his hair done and rightly so there’s no outrage no tweets, but when it was pogba though?
@@samuelbrown3326both Pogba and Casemiro were bad signings. How is it illogical when it ended up being right?
@ pogba was a bad signing because he didn’t suited the players around him majority of the time and casemiro was quality for his first season then ETH switched things in the middle it killed him. That was never the criticism souness said
It does tend to be black players who get labelled with the "he's thick, he's stupid, he's lacking intelligence, he's low IQ" stuff though, and not just from Souness
That back pass to the goalie😂😂😂😂😭😭
Souness is bang on the money. All these players are mid.
Pogba was terrible both terms. Graham is right. If any United fan thinks differently, you should be embarrassed. Same with Casemiro at United. Rashford has been average. 2 decent seasons. Mainoo slow, no returns. Sam, you are just wrong. None of the players mentioned would ever get into anyone's all time 11 squad, not even on the bench. Facts are facts.
Fergie drove the sale to the Glazers. Remember that.
Deluded. Get help
Absolutely spot on
@hackle511 Thank you for your specificity ...
@@hackle511 Man's spitting facts, you're the deluded one here........and yeah, Fergie's the reason we're in this mess with the Glazers, that's a fact.
@Dandroid5000 another deluded fan
Pundits are not supposed to be unbiased or impartial, commentators, yes, but pundits, nope, it makes way better TV when they are going at it!
Souness was right, why are you still licking Pogba's feet? He's certainly more entertaining than those boring women who've replaced him on Sky.
Been watching your videos for years and this is my first comment and I just had to comment and say PREACH! Pogba was my favourite player when he came and seeing how Graeme treated him was so disappointing.
Alot of the players he criticises have a different complexion from his
and so what
Come on...the man is just a fool, that doesn't make him a racist.
Well, that's not true is it. Souness criticised a number of players in this video. Some white, some black.
Here is your victim card 🃏
@@SteveAustin-zv1nnmost black and guess what, the guy he signed as a coach was also black so I can see why
The first two examples, casemiro and pogba. Souness turned out right about though. you didn't notice that when making this bahaha?
An exquisite dismantling of a complete" door-handle"...I salute you sir for the time , effort and passion involved in this production 😂👌🏽
Paul is not my cup of tea. But the supposed arguments of this type are ridiculous. One thing is to criticize and another is to act like an idiot.
All pundits are biased. They are specifically paid to give their biased opinions. Of course Souness is biased towards LFC and against Utd. What a bizarre thing to be crying about. They are pundits not referees. And he was right about Pogba and Martinez and most other things
Dodgy dodgy ground here, wouldn't be surprised to see this one pulled pretty sharpish.
Why?
@ Because it is slanderous and stirring up hatred and division between men based on tone of skin. It is utterly despicable
@@jhpfdijtuiweruotabsolutely correct. It's enough for me to unfollow - unfortunately. I thought Sam was better than this
* *Liked by Paul Pogba* *
I don't like Souness but tbh he was right about Martinez being too small, Pogba being a waste of money and Casimeiro past his best. Think you have a grudge against him Sam. Still have to laugh at him signing Ali Dia 😂🤣😂
Casemiro was great the first season bud, licha has been great and it’s getting used to the new system…. Like shut up bud, learn football ldiot
@@GodsGiftx7 He was not "great". City won the Treble and LFC beat us SEVEN-NIL. What were you watching?

Great video mate! Super analysis!
That's not analysis, it's childish BS.
The less about his career and punditry the better. Great video Sam
Your takes on Pogba are ridiculous, 4 assists in one game and somehow you forget how useless he was throughout is second stint. Other than that fair enough, maybe
Minoo wandering at 4:28 is valid tho, bro is not a dm
Yep. I don’t see what’s wrong with what Souness said about Mainoo. It was bang on.
@@u-Dramatic_avocado5867this guy is brain washed
Don't understand what points the narrator is making here. All of these players have turned out to be worse than Graham Souness suggested. Name one that has excelled in a Man Utd shirt?
They are deluded like most of their fanbase cnt take the truth abt their club..
He aint wrong look at the position of their club is for everyone to see except those clowns!! 😂😂
Just clickbait rubbish!
@@2muchblackcoffee
The United fans were far far worse than Souness as far as criticizing Pogba is concerned and they way they have treated Rashford
is bordering on bullying to be honest.
@@err4071 fr they said much worse than Souncess about Pogba
@@gra9
True 100%.
Souness is absolutely fine. Completely nonsense video. His takes are completely logical most of the time and the Pogba meme is ridiculous; he was shite.
There's plenty of pundits WAY worse than Souness. This video is just bitter and spiteful.
Yeah this is desperate and embarrassing deflection to take away from this being the worst Utd team of all time. Souness was supportive and gave good advice to Pogba if you actually listen to what he said
damn right. this is just his own personal vendetta against an aging pundit that really don't matter anymore anyways.
just focus on your own damn club.
@ Everyone on earth is "ageing". You just aged in the last minute. What's that got to do with anything? He is paid (lots of money) to talk about lots of clubs and players. He played for and managed many clubs. Why is he only "allowed" to talk about LFC? Lol
Top quality assessment! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That intro for UP Productions has some real generational potential about it. Something people might really remember in years to come
And the cut leading up to the freeze frame at 2:21 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Magnificent.
More disliked than the hideous mercenary no loyalty Gary Neville ? I doubt it.
this isn’t really related to the video, but i have to say-i kept seeing people talk about Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane in comment sections everywhere. after weeks of wondering, i finally decided to read the book, and i get it now. it’s not just about wishful thinking; it’s about learning how to truly focus your energy and align it with your intentions. it’s made me rethink so many things about how i approach life.
You tell em Sam, great video!🙌
Honestly, he's right about Casemiro.
Pogba minus the malign influence of his agent would have been a far different prospect.
Cool vid, great content 👌
Alan Hanson is the only ex-Liverpool pundit I like and respect.
The irony is that Ali Dia would walk into this United team!
😆
Sourness bang on the money on Pogba and Casamiro! 🤔🧐
His view of the Glazers in itself is outrageous.
A good fair video and analysis.
I’ve told this story before but it is still very vivid in my memory. I attended a Chelsea v Liverpool match in 1977 as a nine year old, my Dad had managed to get tickets and additionally also managed to get us behind the scenes permission. To a kid just starting to get into football, it was an amazing feeling to get up and personal with some of the greatest players around at the time. Along with other lucky kids on that day we were well looked after, had pictures taken and our autograph books signed by all the players of both teams. That is except for two Liverpool players, who declined pictures and autographs. They had such a nasty attitude towards us, we were only kids and they were two of the biggest football stars of their day. That episode cemented my opinion of these two players throughout their careers and I never once saw them in any other light. They spoilt what should have been a very happy memory for me and both were Scottish internationals. The worst of the two was Graeme Souness, for the way he spoke and dismissed us, I am pretty sure you can work out who the other player was! 😢
Don't believe you
@ Bless 😊
He's spot on about Mainoo wandering too much and he can't play in a pivot week in week out though. That was bang on the money with Mainoo currently.
Speak truth to power Sam! Love it 👊✊✊
* Paul pogba liked this video *
Whenever this guy opens his mouth, rubbish is pouring out of it. Great video mate. Glory, Glory Man United!!!!
lol I don’t think you could of hit the nail any sweeter. Awesome stuff keep it up.
I’m sorry but I can’t really disagree with too much with what Souness said except for Ronaldo and the Glazers.
Hes won the same amount of European cups has won in there entire history 😂
Top video sam 👏🏼👊🏼 about time someone gave it to him 🎉👏🏼
I'm glad that someone finally called him out.
What a pointless video.
I love your show, but there are so many contradictions on this, I haven't got the patience to write them all and I think the leading presumptions are dangerous and not something I'd expect from this channel unlike others... Not sure what lead to uptv to thinking this was a good idea.
Love the new intro! Well done
Sam please I implore you to just ignore his idiotic takes. He's an idiot and biased, please stop talking him, he's irrelevant now, relagated to Talksport appearances. Just don't bite to him anymore he's not worth it.
ESPN needs a special mention
To be fair, if you did one of these videos about Roy Keane it would be a lot more brutal regarding the players he was talking about.
But of course most of it would be due to emotion, his high standards, and with a generous dollop of dry humour involved too (like telling DeGea he's not getting back on the bus!). Which is a big contrast compared to Souness, who is always deadly serious, and always looking for reasons to put players down.
Absolutely LOVE the unhinged Sam in this 😂 great production, team well done! Every United fan knows Souness's hatred towards the club. He was trying to compliment Mainoo and slate him at the same time. 🔔🔚
Mate your rashford stance in this video is nuts 😂😂😂 guy averages 8 prem goals a season and if you look at his stats majority of his goals come from EFL
He was in the team from 18. You wouldn't expect a teenager to be posting big numbers, you'd hope to see steady progression, which is what we saw. Ronaldo didn't hit double figures for league goals until his 4th full season when he was 22, and I think you'd agree he was playing in a much better team.
And your "majority of goals in the EFL" argument doesn't hold water when only 10% of his goals were in the EFL cup. 72% were in the PL and Champions League.
In fact, and it is a fact, in the PL era only 6 players have got more PREMIER LEAGUE goals and assists for us than Rashy. It's quite impressive considering he's played in mostly garbage teams with garbage managers.
@ Comparing Ronaldo to Rashford. Lol
He was bang on about Rashford. In this case numbers very much DO lie.
this might be a bit off-topic, but has anyone else noticed how often Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane comes up in video comments? i finally caved and read the book, and wow-it’s worth the buzz. it’s not just some feel-good advice; it actually gives you tools to focus your energy and make things happen. it’s subtle at first, but then you start to see how much of a difference it makes in how you approach your goals
So glad you made this. Hate Souness 😅
Which one is Doku who plays for City in the photo of most assists?
GOAT of a player, but sub-par pundit. ' I PLEED THE GAME'. He headed the ball a bit too much, and you know who is to blame? Paul Pogba!
unbelievable player one of the greatest midfielders ever who was way more than just a combative holding midfielder to even suggest that souness was a steady Eddie is laughable
And yet he is fast approaching 100 years old but still paid more in a week than you earn in a year, to talk about football
Nah, respectuflly i disagree with this video. I'm not a real fan of any club in the premiere league and am cheering for united to get back to its former glory, but Souness isn't wrong in the things he said. Casemiro came to Man Utd from a (best ever?) Real Madrid squad and is overrated for the kind of praise he was getting from people. Pogba has talent but is problematic, Souness is right about the price tag vs. what he delivers. You say there's an X amount of players that managed giving 4 assists in the prem's history, but how many of them cost THAT much money and were THAT problematic for their clubs? Maybe I agree with the directness of Souness because I'm Dutch, but I feel like he hasn't said anythig that is wrong. Maybe the way he says things could be done differently, but stay true.
I can't stand Souness, but you insinuating racism is out of order. He's got a history of suing for libel; let's hope you haven't become a little too big for your own boots with this one. Your channel has become so negative in recent months. I'm not sure if it is a quest for more views or what, but the lack of negativity and toxic posts is what set you apart from other channels. I haven't watched a live or finished a video of yours in weeks; maybe it's just me.
No, it's not just you. It's become a modern day Maoist struggle session channel, Orwellian cancel culture full of hate and stirring up division between men with different tones of skin. Despicable
Brilliant! Absolutely love this.
I always don't listen to pundits cause they are just studio naysayers who sit at the studio.
Like a steady eddie would get the chance to play in 'That' Real Madrid team ever week😂😂😂
He hasn't even been a Steady Eddie for us. He can't even get a game in our worst team ever
@jhpfdijtuiweruot did you watch the video? We are talking about the time when he was about to be signed.
Other than the first season, he was nothing
@ So what? Which specific part of my simple comment are you struggling to process? And who are "we"?
@jhpfdijtuiweruot didn't you watched the video. The argument is that he said before the signing was confirmed. And after the first season , you wouldn't have said he was a steady Eddie, would you?
The host's point is this guy always say stuff without any basis.
@ Yes, I watched it. So what? Yes, I would have -that was a terrible season for the club. Yes, and I am challenging the silly "point" being made
You shouldn't waste time on the likes of him
ridiculous nonsense. So arrogant to believe a 19-year-old cannot be criticised for his positioning, when United’s midfield gets overrun every week. Also, implying that the man is a racist when in the very same clip he is giving praise to Greenwood shows how stupid your deductions are; when he criticises De Ligt and Martinez he is a deluded lunatic, but when he criticises Lingard, Rashford and Pogba he is a racist. He didn’t like Pogba because he was an overpaid, overrated primadonna who turned up once in a blue moon, I cannot believe United fans are still protecting Pogba, even trying to rewrite history to suggest that he wasn’t a complete failure. Kobbie Mainoo's positioning needs to improve or change position so he doesn’t have to run back, as quickly as required, as often. De Ligt went to Juve as a hyped starboy but didn’t put any trees up, he went to Bayern who decided he was surplus to requirements, I can understand why Souness felt he was Lightweight, but at the moment he has been one of United’s best players this season, so he is wrong on that one. You have defended players who have received deserved criticism and opted for a vicious attack on a pundit who has got most of his analysis right.
Enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone
