Yes and No, There are elements of Souness in Gerrard but lets not forget that back then the game was based on the same premise that the spanish league is based on now, technical skill. The premiership has sped up a hell of a lot and that means a faster game but back then Liverpool won everything because they had a team capable of handling not only europe but england. Gerrard is good but isnt close to Souness, different times and different abilities.
Bill Shankly: “I was the best manager in Britain because I was never devious or cheated anyone. I’d break my wife’s legs if I played against her, but I’d never cheat her.”
