Every man and his dog in real life and on the internet were pointing out how performances have been shit this season and it would all catch up on us sooner or later.
He's a muppet of a pundit.
I can recall him saying in 2015 Schweinsteger was a world class signing and alongside the other signings we'd challenge for the league.
A couple of months later he'd be moaning we need at least 5 new signings to challenge
I'm sure there are loads more other examples
But the point is, he's a pundit, who put his neck on the line, and called it exactly how it happened.
People pointing out what was or was not happening on the internet - where, actually, thoughts were not unanimous, as some on here believed we had a chance - are not particularly relevant, especially so when so many came out berating him for calling it whilst there was an air of [misplaced] euphoria.
The kind of insight you're talking about is someone like Pep, Tuchel or Klopp <interchange with any coach/ foreign pundit who divulges deeper information> breaking a game down in terms of tactical minutiae, but insight isn't exclusively about that - observing play, pre-empting a future event so assuredly and going against the grain by remaining steadfast in his take away from what he saw, is showing insight, even more so than was said at the time given he wasn't duped by the raa-raa of the 2nd half and was at pains to say he's 'happy' but very concerned.
It's funny to me that it was an easy call to make, yet no other pundit made it beforehand, that I know of, at least. It's an easy way to make a name for yourself, after all, yet nobody but Scholes were so forthright in drawing a conclusion.
Anyway, I won't belabour, as I'm hardly calling Scholes the second-coming of Rinus Michels, I'm just saying he showed acute insight on this one and was spot on to the wire, uncomfortably so for some of our support.
