Love you man but you’re just patently wrong here. Botman has the true and final upside, but Schar is absolutely our best defender at the moment.

I always feel Schär struggles with people running at him or the ball over the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you've come to the conclusion that Schar is being weak, when he's part of our best CB pairing, possibly ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 There was a moment v Chelsea where he was dragged out wide (possibly by Ziyech) and rather than commit himself, he just held him up until support arrived. Class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been very good, not disputing that but he does have the two weaknesses I’ve mentioned when up against the top teams. As a unit we have been great apart from Man City who caused us trouble and only time we’ve looked edgy and to a lesser extent Liverpool and even lesser extent Spurs & Chelsea. Which are the teams you judge your players against when claiming top class. It is possible for someone to be very good yet have flaws. Don’t be so precious ?

Wallsendmag Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Thought he was absolutely outstanding again last night. MOTM for me. Incredible to think we've never lost a game in which he has played in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 He just never makes a mistake or looks shaky at all, unbelievable for a CB of his age. I don't think I would swap him for any CB in the league right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 As I said in the matchday thread. The stream I had was shit, so hard to judge. But yet again, I didn’t notice Botman much. Apart from a few tackles where he tidied up really well. Just goes about his business so efficiently all the while and rarely puts a foot wrong. In summary. He is fucking mint.

TRon Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Saw him racing in to make a tackle, and he was pretty rapid. I didn't even realise it was him until I saw him get up and distribute the ball having won it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I've never seen him look slow, I think that rep came from a few disgruntled fans who thought he was going to Milan before he signed for us.

Dr Jinx Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 It rarely looks like we’re going to concede a goal when he’s playing. I know it’s a wider team effort but he just gives us that strength and always extra time on the ball. Whatever we paid for him was cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
