Graeme Souness’ comments about Paul Pogba got a lot of people annoyed

"He hasn't got a basic understanding of his position, I can't see that changing."

Regardless of what Paul Pogba achieves in football, Graeme Souness will never be a fan. The former Liverpool midfielder just doesn't seem to rate Pogba, and never misses an opportunity when on punditry duty to remind the audience of this fact. Even when the Manchester United midfielder plays well, as he did during the team's 2-1 victory over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night, Souness seems incapable of offering praise. The Scot appeared on Irish television channel TV3 for coverage of the Champions League tie, and stuck the boot into Pogba again before kick-off. The former Blackburn Rovers manager called out Pogba for making "basic" errors.

"He hasn't got a basic understanding of his position, I can't see that changing," Souness said.

His comments didn't go down well with the watching public. https://twitter.com/TomWrynne/status/938130104584167424 https://twitter.com/CormacCor/status/938165277929373698 https://twitter.com/StephenFox92/status/938129945955627008 https://twitter.com/jb_8521/status/938129914682847232 https://twitter.com/ManLikeMeyler/status/938169773476675585 https://twitter.com/Sculltown/status/938168680965427200 https://twitter.com/Shayninho/status/938167623019360257 Of course, this isn't the first time Souness has criticised Pogba. He has called the French midfielder a 'YouTuber', and went on the following rant following United's victory over Ajax in the Europa League final last season.

"I don't see him doing enough things, you spend that kind of money to make a difference in the big games. I don't see him this season changing any of the big games because of the 'brilliance' he's shown. He does eye-catching stuff, which with all due respect to people who don't understand the game so well, (they) go 'wow, wasn't that great play?' What I see as a midfield player, an old midfield player, is someone that's not really got a great understanding of the game... I've never seen him run a game."
