I really do adore Schar mind, but if he was as good as some make out he wouldn’t be here and would have been away in the summer gone.

He's not very good at defending, which is brilliant because if he was he certainly wouldn't be here. Schar is a good defender. Very good at times, in fact. He really isn't. He is good at aggresive interceptions at that is about it, he gets caught out of position a lot but gets away with it in our three man set up with relatively deep wing backs making a 5 when defending. Wouldn't have him anywhere near my team in a back four. Great on the ball, lovely passing range. Decent finisher. He's not very good at defending, which is brilliant because if he was he certainly wouldn't be here. Schar is a good defender. Very good at times, in fact. He's not at all. If he was he'd be at a very top club I completely disagree. Superb defensively just 1 week ago. Some great challenges. Last ditch tackles and blocks are not the sign of a good defender. The best defenders don't tackle at all really. They don't need to. This. Never saw woodgate making them But the likes of Terry, Vidic and Cannavaro do. Occasionally, and you remember them more. Not all the time. The best players are great at them, but rarely need to do them.

The best defenders don't tackle at all really. They don't need to. We'll have to disagree then. I don't think Schar is all last ditch. He reads the game well, intercepts play, strong in the air & can challenge. No way is he a poor defender. Not all last ditch, he's still a decent defender but if he had it all he wouldn't play for Newcastle United. His biggest weakness is his positioning, gets caught out a lot.

Not really. He's been around the 'scence' for a while. Doing well though, good on him.

How do modern posters on this forum still not realise that players will never come out and slag off their manager and paymasters (apart from very extreme circumstances when things have totally broken down)?!! I worked for some absolute dickheads but even I can recognise I'd be in the s*** and get sacked (fined / frozen out) if I slagged them off in public and in the press. Some of the subsequent post Rafa understanding of how football and world works have been a disgrace.

First time he's trained with the group, not just doing rehab drills. Hardly one to cite.

Tonight at Sincil Bank.

Should be nothing to do for a manager at this point id they've done their job properly.

Few reports flying around that one of our lot was stabbed after the game and has passed away. Horrficly awful if true.

Just means they still have to be registered at the club with and The FA or else any one from any team would be eligible.

But that's not what happened in my opinion. Lascelles didn't impede him or stop him getting a shot away, Kane decided to lean and use the contact to throw himself to the floor looking for a penalty. That contact doesn't take him down without him going looking for it. These decisions go either way. If given I doubt VAR would have over turned it, but not a clear and obvious error.

Nobody is suggesting that at all. You just lack a fundamental understanding of how football clubs, players and the media etc. work.

What a load of shite man. This is the club that give its manager a formal written warning for talking about transfers in an interview.

Player in toeing party line of people that pay his wages shocker.

Never knew that. Who’s the land owner? Civil Service Sports Club.

Club doesn't own the land the training ground is on. Never has.

His fundamental point is correct. It's too early to judge him. Big pressure, being played out of position in a role he isn't used to in a team devoid of any clue what they hell they are supposed to be doing.

I don't want to go all RTG, but they're both clearly mackems. Both joined when the takeover was falling apart (CDM 1st) just to stir it up and now they just dig out the fans/club. Which considering most of us are doing so anyway is fairly pointless.... ok test me on anything you like an nufc fan would know. Also I've seen him at away games before What was Nevilles wife called in auf weidersehen pet?
