Graeme Souness insisted he does not regret ‘a word’ of his ‘man’s game’ point during Sky Sports’ Super Sunday.
The former Liverpool midfielder was praising the more liberal approach to refereeing by Anthony Taylor during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Stamford Bridge - a game which saw managers Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte twice clash on the touchline amid 90 minutes full of needle between players.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Souness said: “Referees are letting a lot more go and it makes for a better watch. We’ve all played the game, with simulation and people throwing themselves into the ground. I haven’t seen that in the two games today. It’s a man’s game all of a sudden now.”
