The Schär we all know tonight.

He was brilliant on Saturday as well, to be fair.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

His one on one bs Diaz was fucking awesome as well.

 

all kids should be shown that as textbook defending

[Weezertron]

Get the guy a statue 

[McDog]

Just was watching the extended highlights. That goal off the free kick. I mean. WOW. 
 

 

I saw it live but when you take the time to slow it up. Incredible with the delivery and finish.

We'll obviously miss an excellent defender and ball player when the moment comes that he's pensioned off, but I think we will miss his goals nearly as much. Class act.

I don't think there's another CB like him in world football. He'll be such a big miss when he finally retires.

Genuinely one of my favourite Toon players of all time.

Must say I love that banner! But I hope Joelinton doesn't read it. He'll commit murder.

Marauding mutha fucka!

Only two goals behind Jude Bellingham this season. Makes you wonder.

Is he drunk?

Had an absolute shitter. Probably at fault for their 3rd and 4th goals. 

[David Edgar]

I think he is over the hill.

[The Butcher]

Been very poor overall this season. Can't get close to strikers anymore.

Didn't do owt for their second either.

Something that was a concern before the season started.

[Smal]

Really embarrassing for the 4th. Sadly this season I think we're seeing why we need a right-footed centre back pretty quickly.

He's been at fault for too many goals, that's for sure.

[Kid Icarus]

Seems like we maybe should have rotated more if anything. 2 games in a week at his age will make mistakes more likely. Brilliant on Wednesday, shocking today, likewise (albeit to a lesser extent) Joelinton.

Yes, some older players fade very quickly, some gradually. Fab is in the former unfortunately. Obvious now why we wanted a new right CB last summer. 

 

Think he'll be benched once Sven is back. Even if it means plating two left CBs. 

[Lush Vlad]

His passing has been dodgy all season and he has made a few mistakes here and there. But today was bad. 
 

He was partly at fault for all 4 goals.

Love the man, but he’s just not with it this year.

[nufcjmc]

Age catching up to him? Too many games? No one for competition? Still to agree his future? All of it? 

 

I want a fair few players out of the side to try and freshen up and give them a kick in the arse they need but don't see anyone taking his place off him without a signing. 

 

If there is any budget at all is it an attacker or a defender both departments trying their best to make a case for new signings.

Rotate him with who though? Kelly? We literally have no other choice until we sign someone better or Lascelles and Botman get back fit and healthy.

 

We went into a premier league season with only 3 fit senior CBs, 2 over 33 and another on a free who is a LB/CB hybrid and so far has looked poor. 

 

I bet if we went through every other squad, especially the teams we're meant to be competing with for europe, I bet they have far more depth at CB than we do. Villa, Spurs, Chelsea, Man U, Brighton, West Ham, all have atleast 4 senior CBs off the top of my head.

Read a piece on “True Faith” that included a bit where the writer thought Fabian Schar wasn’t very good. Eat it.
