Not sure where we're going to find such a cultured centre back that can also defend as well as he does. A huge part of our gameplan runs through him. Marc Guehi is not the long term answer to a Schar replacement in my opinion. this 100%. we need to be on the lookout for a centre back with at least some of his passing range. it’s a rare thing though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Guehi is not the long term answer to a Schar replacement in my opinion. I don't think there's another CB like him in world football. We'll never be able to replace him like for like. His finishing, ball striking and passing range are better than most midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted Friday at 20:56 Share Posted Friday at 20:56 Pretty sure Botman was part of the replacement. By that, I don't mean to play RCB, but for passing range. Botman has played some pretty outrageous passed off both feet when fit, and seems to have a better completion rate (I may be wrong on that). I think the CB we sign will be a line breaker, one that can find players feet with shorter range passing more than one that plays the glorious cross fields Schar does.

He was ready to snap him He was goading him in the second half at times, inviting the press before tapping it sideways to Burn. He was absolutely seething and you could tell how much he wanted to embarrass the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago I think Botman is supposed to eventually develop into the Schar replacement. But I agree with what was said earlier here, not a single CB in football profiles like Fab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Exhibit A of why we need his long-term replacement in this summer, today. He's still valuable but against someone with pace and great movement like Watkins he's not up to it anymore, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Schar was abysmal today, slow to react and beaten to every ball, can't remember him winning a header either. Worst game this season. A pacy right centre back is needed this summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) He was hung out to dry, don't really blame him or Burn. Being slow against Ollie Watkins isn't being bad, our tactics needed to account for that and didn't. Edited 13 hours ago by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Watkins has his number today, but considering how consistent he's been lately its fine to have a one off stinker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We totally played into Villa's hands and the threat of runners exposing our ageing defence was evident in the first couple of Villa attacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Felt like the exact same as at their place 2 years ago. Watkins dragging out to channels and winning the physical battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just couldn’t compete with the running power and the pace they have in the team. That’s always been my issue with our squad, we need to fix that in the summer Edited 13 hours ago by andyc35i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
