Erikse Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 3 hours ago, Nine said: Honestly one of the most underrated players in the world at the moment He's been underrated ever since Howe took over. It almost seems like some of our fanbase are the only ones who realises just how good he is, from watching him each game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 He was underrated under Rafa too. the national press never pay any close attention to our teams at all, it sometimes feels like the further north you go the less time anyone spends watching. I remember when Sheffield United got absolutely lauded for playing a 3 at the back with two ball playing CBs basically stepping into midfield as if it was this super tactical genius move, and all I could think of was Rafa dropping Shelvey so a back 3 of Lejeune, Lascelles (who was mainly there to sweep up behind) and Schar stepped forward and provided a lot of the midfield creativity. Don't think I ever saw anyone give any credit to Lejeune or Schar, or indeed any comment on this system being at all strange. Willing to bet none of them noticed that Rafa wasn't playing his old 4-2-3-1 formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 He was even underrated by the Swiss coach at the World Cup. Such a shame that Bruce took away a couple of Schär years from us.. Scary how that man can ruin some good talent. He's like the opposite of Howe in terms of man management. He destroys players at the same rate as Howe develops them.

gbandit Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 As amazing as he is as a defender, who’s a better footballer at CB in the league? In terms of passing, dribbling ability, vision? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of passing, dribbling ability, vision? Only no-one! He’s by far the best footballing centre back in the league. Stones prays to develop the mid-to long range passing game Schar has, then he may be close to Schar’s level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 He was getting so bored yesterday that he kept dribbling into midfield and attack. Poor sod needs a challenge. Also something worth noting.... our right wing benefits from Schar being LCB as he has a better angle for his diagonals. Such a small detail but it's why we were so effective yesterday.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) He’s got to be challenging for our best-ever CB at this point. The way he’s just switched to LCB without a sexy hair out of place is ridiculous. Edited October 22, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Just realised he made a run into the centre-forward position after passing the ball to Wilson, dragging the Palace right-back to cover him and leaving the back post totally open for Wilson (who also made an immense run), and Gordon (who scored). Such a beautifully worked play, and a defender who bursts into the box threw Crystal Palace's backline organisation into total disarray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
