Liverpool hero Graeme Souness hit out at Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after their victory over Newcastle United.

After the game, Aubameyang claimed Arsenal "feel better" now they are playing under manager Mikel Arteta.

Souness slammed the forward for those comments, claiming the 31-year-old should already know what he must do and blasting players for hiding behind tactical criticisms of Emery.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Souness said: "I don't like that. I don't like players talking like that. You know what you have to do.

"OK, there's one young player and one senior player there, Aubameyang is 31.

"When you get to a certain age, you know what you have to do to be successful at this level. You have to run around with enthusiasm, you have to be aggressive, you don't give the ball away cheaply, you attack things in an aggressive manner.

"I get fed up with tactics, tactics, tactics. The first thing you have to get right, you have to have the ball. So to get to the ball, you have to get to the ball first.

"To hear people say 'we now know what we're doing', I'm not accepting that.

"For a 31-year-old to say, 'it's now clear, we now know what we're doing', I'm not accepting that.

"He knows what he has to do to be successful. He'd have known that seven or eight years ago."
