Seriously, Graeme Souness? The same who stated that Roberto De Zerbi will fail in the PL; according to G. Souness opinion and 'his google research' RDZ had changed too many clubs and wasn't good enough to bring his philosophy at Brighton Albion... to be completely honest, Souness at international level as coach/manager is unknown, probably an 'old school' coach/manager who has made his name in English football only but if we are honest he hasn't brought anything new to football. If you compare him to the revolutionary pioneers of modern football, Guardiola, Arrigo Sacchi, Bielsa, Zdenek Zeman, Johan Cruijff and the same RDZ, Souness is nowhere close to them... Although, I respect Ian opinion, I disagree with his 'idealistic' approach imposition, the 'new approach' you mentioned has already been used worldwide, therefore it is not 'new', the correct term would be 'copying'. Not being horrible but I would like Ian to travel a little bit and spend sometime abroad, this could help to open up your view and approach, which is hypercritical of other coaches approach. Do you really think that to create a creative environment, your approach is the only one? This is how your message come across Ian. By now you we all know Potter has failed at Chelsea, for so many reasons, Chelsea is not Brighton, players did not follow him (no empathy), he was uncapable to deal with the pressure as Brighton and Chelsea are two complete different environments in terms of expectations. Football at all levels is very simple but somehow many coaches tend to overcomplicate it, not my words, guess who?

Liverpool when he was there as a player were training roughly like this as in positional but more on helping out as a group.
