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.

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.

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."

Wilson has been a fantastic player for us, but do you want to give him a new contract?

Schar has played 41, 47 and 30 (so far) games last 3 seasons. If Wilson had that sort of availability giving him a new contract would also be a done deal.

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.

It’s not been recent, either. It’s been what teams have been doing to him and then what he’s been doing all season. 

 

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
