Liverpool legend Graeme Souness is full of praise for Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic.
Souness rates Matic ahead of former Blues and Real Madrid midfielder Claude Makelele in the holding role.
"As a midfielder, you want to get your head up and hit balls in to your striker but who's the face looking back at you? It used to be Makelele and now it is Matic," Souness wrote in his Sunday Times column .
"He's better than Makelele, has a better range of passing and will get around the pitch better."
