Deuce Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Kompany’s already got that award in the bag I’d think. There was probably some stonker from earlier in the year I’ve forgotten about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dross is the only one I can think of off the top of my head but he's a cunt so it doesn't count. But aye, assuming City win the league that's Kompany's to lose.

Sho Time Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Kompany’s already got that award in the bag I’d think. There was probably some stonker from earlier in the year I’ve forgotten about. Townsend's goal vs City is the winner. The award will probably go to Kompany though, for a shot where - although impressive - he had absolutely nobody around to challenge him. Schar's was better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Schar's and Kompany very similar. Later will get the nod pure due the significance (or potential) in the title race. I would go with Schar however but both great strikes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Knew he was important to us, but hadnt realised how important until I just read these stats! The stats suggest they would not have stayed up without him. His team won only one of the 16 Premier League matches in which Schar did not start and he came on in that one with the game goalless. Newcastle picked up 37 points from 22 games when he started, also scoring a stunner against Burnley. [/Quote] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. Most of those games, he likely only missed because Rafa thought he wasn't ready, yet (his early displays had most of us agreeing). Starting the season with our defence as sorted as it is, would fill me with excitement, if I didn't know that Tim Sherwood will sell him on deadline day.

xLiaaamx Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Rafa wanted to take him back out once Lejeune came back. Used Dummett ahead of Schar at first until Blackburn away where Schar ran the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 In fact I it was just one game that Schar didn't play with Lejeune and Dummett wasn't even playing So much nonsense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 There's more than one reason why we didn't do as well in most of those games. Rondon wasn't match fit or didn't play a lot of those games. We also played with 4 at the back for a lot of those games. Our form improved when Rondon was fit, we switched to 3 centre backs and 2 wing backs, Perez, Hayden and Longstaff came in to good form as well as Schär starting.

Guest Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 One of my favourite things from this season was the photo of Schar when he first received the pass for his first v Cardiff knowing no-one else touched the ball between that and the goal being scored.

Kanj Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The funny thing is he's such a a different defender to Lejeune. - Lejeune as the brains of our defense when he plays, organizing, leading, reading the game, ball player. - Schar is extremely aggressive at intercepting the ball, esp. high up the pitch, he's an all-action ball player who is even better on the ball than Lejeune. - Lascelles is there to mop things up, be the big aerial presence and use his pace/strength to be the last man between our goal. - Fernandez is far slower than Lascelles, but very good reader of the game and in the air. Does mostly everything well, and is better on the ball than the captain. - Dummett is unique in that he's got a bit of recovery pace, loves a slide tackle, plays the position well, keeps it simple-ish on the ball. - Clark is like a slower version of Dummett and Fernandez IMO - but sort of pretty good at everything.

Love the mix of our back 3 With the knee injury to Lejeune though I’d like to see us add the speed and physicality of N’Soki as a talented left sided backup for him I think having Schar and N’Soki either side of Lascelles aggressively nicking the ball would be good depth next season. This Summer has to be the time to move on the Championship players like Clark and start improving the quality/talent of our depth. We shouldn’t be seeing numbers like 8 out of the 11 starters having started for us in the Championship in our 3rd season up next season. Time to move Darlow, Clark, Hayden, Diame, Atsu, Gayle on.

You rate Hayden as Championship quality but Rafa picked him to start ahead of all our other centre midfielders (he got his chance due to injuries to others but kept his place).
