A lot of what we've seen under Steven Gerrard reminds of the early days of the Souness revolution.
Building from the back we seemed to be rolling the passes across the back four as 'possession of the ball' became paramount. There were many frustrating games as we struggled to break down ten men behind the ball.
But Souness recognised that we needed iron in the team - himself, Graham Roberts, John Brown, Ian Ferguson, Mark Hateley, Terry Horlock, Neale Cooper - he was always looking for players who could compete fiercely as well as play.
That's the reality of Scottish football that Steven Gerrard has yet to embrace.
