The Prophet Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 Very good, other than the rush of blood to the head that got him booked. He's brilliant on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 Still haven't really seen him tested yet, it's mad. On the ball I'd like to see him try a few Schär rakers, but he's also as good as Botman with those balls into the front line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got Schär's ability to step out of the defensive line and win the ball high too. The first goal tonight came from him doing just that, winning the ball in a really dangerous area when the defence are caught flat-footed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 Feel bad for Schär but this guy is undroppable at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not afraid to leave his central position to claim the ball/man. He's bloody good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflap Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 For the first goal he cushions it perfectly for Bruno to control it and play Murphy in, if his pass wasnt perfect the chance wouldn't have been created. He's a super footballer and has eased Schar out of the side with nobody batting an eyelid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 He’s superb. That ball into Woltemade in the first half, wow. Takes serious ability and cojones to play that pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 Of all the summer signings he has impressed me the most. Based on what we've seen so far and his age the "overpriced" fee we spend on him looks a bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, even if he does make the odd gaffe, it's a trade off we should accept IMO. This is what we have done with Schar after all. You look at what a player brings to the table, and both of them have abilities which far outweigh any perceived weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 (edited) Such a good footballer, I feel bad for Schär but this is what squad evolution looks like. He has taught me to never prejudge a signing again until they've had a decent run in the team. Edited October 22, 2025 by Moose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 His line breaking passes are just too good. Him and Botman are just so calm and capable on the ball and with their use of it. Think it worked out really well with us getting him and Woltemade, as I think it must also have contributed to how quickly both have settled. I noticed on the pre match training videos they're both typically together at the start chatting away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 I was with my mate at the Brighton game. He is the agent for one of our players. He thinks we might have a world class defender on our hands here, at a bargain fee. Early days but think he might just be right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 Loved his little cushioned left foot volley pass to Bruno for our first. Quick thinking to come get it.

Erikse Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 Schar and Botman was a great pairing, but Thiaw complements Botman more. Not just a very good pairing, but also one for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
