Paul Merson as a pundit is a routinely mixed bag. Of course, he’s played the game at the highest level, but regrettably, he’s not very bright, and a recent meandering swipe at Mourinho, he claimed that Harry Kane would fail under the Special One’s tutelage.
Sure, there are one or two minor inaccuracies, but Merson is truly out of his depth in this company.
The problem with Merson, and his type, is that he will have learned nothing from this humiliating exchange, and has contributed nothing of value to football in this, his most recent sorry episode.
And that’s the polite version.
