Wonder if we can recall Ciaran Clark?

Hopefully in time for the friendly on Thursday.  I’d love a rerun of last season where he got sent off and had to apologise.

[nemtizz]

Outrageous finish from our future Isak backup. Couldn't have done much more.

Timed his header for the second goal perfectly but Akanji shouted for him to leave it, quite annoyingly.

Missed the game. Was he that bad??

Of course not.

Loads of talk about Botman (and rightly so...) but this fella was my motm last night. Did everything Botman did but also carried the ball forward more fluently on occasion.

 

He's been majestic again this season.

 

Fucking Bruce man....

Knowing what we now know about head injuries and early onset dementia, I worry for him in the future owing to all the head injuries he gets. His regular head injuries seem to be an in joke on this forum.

 

Not sure if last night’s was a head or neck injury, but you get my point.

 

He is a brilliant player. I didnt see him during the Bruce fiasco, but know how misused he was. He is as comfortable on the ball as Steve Howey, but more adventurous, as comfortable as Albert, but not as adventurous and a better defender.

 

 

 

 

Great point this. I don't think I've ever watched us live and not seen him go down with some sort of head injury.

 

Put's his heed where many wouldn't put their feet, the good looking bastard.

[joeyt]

He's so good

[Ronaldo]

Yeah he’s a class act. Definitely the boss back there. If his legs hold up our central defence is sorted for next 3 seasons.

Love this guy. Solid, good on the ball and always puts his head in even if he’s gonna get a clout.

He’s unbelievable for us, looked a different player at the World Cup.

Still think he's been hugely underrated by pundits/journalists. Botman gets a load of credit (and rightly so) but Schar has been sublime but slips more under the radar with the media

 

He turned into prime Baresi yesterday when he waltzed through the Leicester defence

[huss9]

for a good looking posh swiss bloke... he fucking nails.

£3.5m.

Didn’t even take a whack to the head yesterday.

Thought apart from when he stupidly let it through his legs and we nearly got caught on the counter.  He was flawless, defensively.  Just read every long ball, pass and cross from them.  Constantly one step ahead.  

 

I think it might be because the levels have gone up so much and the players have been improved or upgraded.  But my opinion on him and his attributes since Howe has come in, have totally switched. 

 

I used to think he was always great on the ball and his long passes were class.  I now find his casual passing and often aimless, low percentage long balls really annoying.  

 

I used to think his defending left a lot to be desired and he was always prone to a howler.  Getting caught out of position, not tracking a man, fucking about on the ball etc.  It's now the total opposite and I think he's been our best defender this season. 

[Optimistic Nut]

Best pound for pound player we've signed for yonks. £3m man..Will Grigg cost Sunderland more.

It's almost as if Deportivo gave him that release fee as a way of saying sorry for Luque and Xisco.

Agree with most of this. Especially the bolded.

 

He's still not great in the air but it's rarely exposed. On the ground he's good dfensively. A real leader. Positionally he's been great.

 

Part of a slow backline though. And I don't think he made a mistake for the second Vardy chance, he just couldn't keep up.
