Unfortunately, there is a sliver of truth in his statement Scholes hasn't really done it at the top level.
For me thats A) For England and B) CL
For A) Its certainly true. 3 years without a goal and not playing anywhere near his best stuff and B) CL - For a midfielder who scores a lot of goals domestically, he doesn't score too many in Europe. I believe this is down to his playing style. He is great at exploiting defensive positional mistakes and moving late into the box, but of course playing against top quality opponents means that there are a lot less mistakes to exploit. He's never looked out of place, but he's never destroyed a team either, unlike the PL. Over the last 2 years, he's scored more than 1 goal in the same game a number of times and literally destroyed teams - Not in europe.
