NHC Paul Scholes
5
Whilst Paul Scholes was a great footballer, he really is one of the poorest 'expert' summarisers on TV. I found it embarrassing listening to him last night.
Paul Scholes was of the belief his old side would have a relatively comfortable evening against a side he deemed vastly inferior. "You're playing Villarreal here. You're playing a team that finished 7th in a really poor La Liga. Think of Real Madrid and Barcelona, how bad have they been? Manchester United should win this game comfortably."
No attempt to assess the strength of the opposition being their collective team spirt and organisation. Just Manchester United are the better team and should win comfortably.
Scholes next pre-match forecast involved Tottenham loanee Juan Foyth. He said: Foyth was a bad centre-back at Tottenham, now hes playing right back, how can Rashford not destroy him?! However, at the end of the match, which player was bouncing around with tears of joy and who was sitting in the dugout just with tears?
At half time, with Manchester United one down, he said "I'm still confident. They've been in this position a lot of times this season. I think if they're patient, they'll open this team up. They'll get one goal and two or three will come." That worked out well Paul.
He really has not clue at all. It's not just last night as I recall after a Liverpool match in which Robbo was the Man of the Match he was asked "Is Robertson the best Scottish left back around?", to which his reply was (insert laugh) "He's the only decent Scottish left back though", clearly ignoring Tierney.
The guy is an embarrassment.
