Fabian Schär

[Ben]

Handsome bastard and where did those lasses come from ? 

[Rich]

Thought he was the only one challenging Sandro for MOTM today, they were both exquisite.

[huss9]

such a lush shithouser too.

Superb interception in the second half to prevent them on the counter attack, one of those you have to time well or you clatter the player. If he missed it they were in on goal.

Was a certain goal if he got it wrong. Perfect timing 

[Kanj]

Had a task dealing with that unit of a CF they had and he handled it really well. Legend this man. 

[Astroblack]

The Zidane roulette was exquisite. Never ceases to amaze me wor Fabian. 

[Aiston]

We let him down today, should have been subbed straight away.

 

Fucking hate how football treats head injuries, miles behind rugby and at least rugby is actually trying to make progress.

[Barnes23]

Aye, not holding the first goal as a mark against him considering the circumstances. Should have been subbed.

End of day medical team cost us the first goal

Will be surprised if he doesn't have CTE when it's all said and done.

[Lush Vlad]

If he genuinely has yet another head injury/concussion. Then it is a really bad look on our part that we didn’t flag it and get him off the pitch. 

I’m sure similar happened in the cup final against Man U and it was used as a reason by some. Plus he seems to get a knock to the head every week. So it is surely something he is susceptible to?! 

[Nucasol]

He runs towards his own goal completely inexplicably rather than going towards Rashford. Definitely concussed at that point I think. Neglect by the medical team on this one.

[The College Dropout]

Genuinely worried for his long term health.  
 

Give him proper time to recover from this.  

[Gallowgate Toon]

Played one absolutely obscene first-time pass yesterday to Joelinton. 

[ChrisMcQuillan]

If there's a risk of concussion to one or two of your players (for instance if two collide) then you should be permitted to temporarily substitute them for a period (15-30 minutes?) and then reintroduce them if they clear all thorough tests. If they fail tests, they count as permanent concussion subs under the current rules.

[El Prontonise]

Lad next to me said he'd be fine after that hit in the head. 

 

Bonkers.

Can't remember, but did we get him to play on after a head blow against Liverpool before subbing him off?

 

He's had two early in season now. Can't be good.

[Jimburst]

Lads gets smashed in the head every week. So unlucky.

We need stricter protocols with head injuries.  Clubs, associations are opening themselves to massive liability cases imo still.

The amount of people who STILL underestimate the impact of concussions is insane.

 

You might feel okay but your brain is going to be scrambled eggs.

[Guybrush]

He should've been off straight away, you could see he wasn't home.

100% this. You get to sub while the proper checks are carried out. Then if the player is ok you can bring them back in. Utterly daft you have to play with 10 .en while they do they checks, so of course they will rush it then see how the player goes, risking serious damage.

Yeah. He's always been prone to head bangs but he seems to be getting hurt worse and worse by - relatively - lesser and lesser things. Not a good sign.
