Probably one of the best performances I've seen from him with us. His passing was incredible throughout. 

 

He was incredible. As everyone has said, he progressed the ball effortlessly all evening. Even when Palace were pressing him with intensity. He'd just dribble through, play a quick simple pass wide or hit a Beckham-esc 70 yarder and we'd be on our way through the press.

 

But his best ever game was years ago against prime Vardy. Schar had one of those games where he just decided that he was just gonna dominate absolutely everything all game. Like some MJ "I took that personally" scenario where he wasn't gonna allow Vardy to even take a sip of Red Bull... He spent 90 minutes chewing over Vardy until there was nothing left.

Loves a 4th. He's a right Albert for getting in on the act.

Will enter the conversation one day about what our best ever pound for pound signing was


One day?! He is already right in the conversation.  
 

In my lifetime. When you consider the transfer fee paid and what era that was paid in. The longevity, must be 200 odd games and 20 odd goals from CB? Massive part of the top 4 finish and our first cup win in a lifetime. His fitness record. I could go on. 
 

If you’re talking pure pound for pound value over a long period of time at the club. I can’t think of any better?

Think a big part of the game plan was the switches to the flanks. Bruno, Tonali and Schar to ping em.

 

Schar landed 2 perfectly early on. Won all his duels and he was absolutely loving it, feeling it, in the zone. He had so much fun out there. Back off, I'll ping it anywhere I want. Press me, I'll drop my shoulder and run past you.

He's gonna be some player to replace by the way. 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.

I think only our fans will ever know how good he is/was. I reckon he could have played for anyone if he wasn't so overlooked. However, he was in the team that brought about the end of our trophy wait and thats special. His talent makes him deserving to go down in the history as a winner.

In a way it worked out perfectly for him, mainly because of his own patience and professionalism obviously. He’s now going down as a trophy winner and legend for NUFC and might be talked about as the best defender we ever had.

 

Who knows what would’ve happened if he’d left to fight for a place at a more successful club.
