r0cafella Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Not too concerned about this, given Guehi was our seemingly only target last summer it's quite clear we know we need to replace fabi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched you sporadically this season so can’t really comment but I do wonder if this thread mirrors ours about Son. Like, he’s forced to play a ton of games and everyone says he’s finished, then he gets a rest, has a great game and everyone says “his minutes just need managing”. Then he has a bad game and “he’s finished” again. Schar doesn’t have all the international travelling Son has to do but Botman’s ongoing problems mean he has to play far more minutes than you’d like. Only Gordon and Bruno played more games for you last year and at Schar’s age you just can’t keep doing that. Seems to me he’d be a great backup CB next year. You just really need two younger CBs if Botman is going to miss so much time - everyone else is the wrong side of 30, no? Schär, Lascelles, Krafth, Burn. That’s not sustainable.

WilliamPS Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Schar-Burn isn’t working very well at the moment, but it’s a combination that’s supposed to play 10 games a season, not 50. They are both going to the wall for the club this season as they are the only consistently fit CBs. Schar is a good player and it would be brainless to let him go in the summer, even with new signings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Schar has always had flakey moments when defending, but now he's starting to misplace passes regularly which is alarming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Great decision, fantastic back up and he will help any younger CB's we bring in settle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Bad recently, but the balance to that is that he had been pressured heavily by every side we play as he’s our only fit CB capable of passing the ball to a decent standard. Hes taken on increased responsibility and hasn’t looked great, still think he’d be back to being fine in a more balanced/stable back 4. Also, some fans attitude of just binning off players the moment they begin to decline or are out of form is total unappreciative arrogance.

It’s because oppositions press is focused on him, Burn isn’t a threat with the ball so Schar gets pressed and has passing lanes cut. Another ball player next to him and it’s a different story.

Another ball player next to him and it’s a different story. Some of the passing mistakes he's made have been through his own error. Fair enough if the pass isn't on, don't try it but absolutely don't lose the ball in dangerous areas when there are simple passes to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t disagree that’s he’s struggled, he’s put himself in trouble in moments. But he has been heavily pressed at pretty much all times, I don’t think he’s done as badly as some have made out under the circumstances.

But he has been heavily pressed at pretty much all times, I don’t think he’s done as badly as some have made out under the circumstances. I've seen at least one howler per game by Schar picking up the ball with no pressure and looking for a pass but absolutely failing in execution, which leads to a counter attack by the opposition and of course Schar himself isn't blessed with pace. I don't mind the long diagonals because there are less risks. The point is that Schars performances have regressed, quite alot...and in an Eddie Howe side, there's rarely a hiding place for a CB because of the expectations placed on them to win their duels.

STM Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I think Schar deserves a new contract. He should be 3rd/4th choice next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not playing anywhere near the standard he was in 22/23, and he is getting to that sort of age where you might expect dips in form. It’s a shame because when the team is performing he’s usually been a big part of it. As I said though, I don’t think he deserves to be written off as a 3rd/4th choice yet. I feel like he could still perform well enough in a more balanced back 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 New contract is a no brainer but I'm tipping the dialogue wheel away from Crucial to Rotation and his chump agent can say "that's what we're after." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving the ball quickly and accurately and passing out from the back are certainly not what Burn’s good at. Not his game at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Schar has been poor this season, especially the passing which has went from being class to a hindrance No issue with him being given a year extension as we won't be able to go out and buy 2-3 CB's but someone of a similar profile is needed in the summer as a priority Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
