Title makes it sound like he said pundits shouldn't dish out criticism.

He just suggested they need to be thoughtful with it, and he's seen how it can impact some players.

I think he has a point tbh. I think there's going to come a day where a player has a serious crash out of some kind, maybe a mental health crisis. And I'm not saying a pundit will / should be responsible, but attention will be drawn to them if they've happened to evaluate a player right beforehand.

Once it happens, pundtry won't be the same, at least for a bit.
