Fabian Schär

Disinterested, or disenchanted?

Not the same player under Bruce, and the centre midfield experiment has to end now.

Can't play in centre midfield ever again.

Yep. Hopefully it also ends the idea people get that a CB that's decent on the ball could play DM. He's been shocking.

Looked completley lost in midfield today.

Bruced.

Or un-Benitezed.

Well Lascelles limped off so Schar will probably be starting at centre back next game.

Ok his days as a defensive midfielder are over. At least he tried, and is still better than Jack Colback.

Or un-Benitezed.

Baconed.

Same as when Coloccini played in midfield. Seems like it might work, but doesn't whatsoever.

Absolutely baffling Bruce didn't take him off or push him back after about 50 minutes.

He's not a midfielder is the thing. Schar clearly benefited from Rafas defensive coaching and long runs int eh side. Throwing schar on against man city was always going to be a hiding to nothing, knocked his confidence and now thrown out of position.

Now I actually do understand the dilemma, he is a difficult fit in a back four for us, but it's not much surprise he looks a shadow of the player he was second half last season.

Have to stop playing him in midfield. Liability today again. Bruced for sure.

What game was he watching like!

He's hardly gonna come out and say he was shite like is he.

A centre half that cant play in a back four. Certainly not a midfielder. Useful to have around incase we play with 5 at the back like but otherwise i'm not sure what he brings.

No, but just don't say he did "really well".

Because he didn't.

True, but those comments are way over the top.

people have short memories, he was absolutely mint for a while but under bruce he is never going to be any good and he probably cant work in a back 4, however considering our improvement in a back 4 can understand not being used. People love to assume a technically accompliched cb can suddenly become a midfielder but it's mostly bollocks.

bruce using him for his "physicality".

I don't think anyone has forgotten Schar playing well last season.

Fair enough. I live in hope of Schar outlasting bruce and becoming important for us again

Been well and truly #Bruced

100%

A proper manager like Poch could get the best out of Schar

What the fuck has Bruce done to this lad?! He’s gone from being one of the classiest CBs in the Premier League to an error-prone liability. Poor bastard!

Great last season, poor this. Difference between the seasons is having Bruce as your coach as opposed to Rafa. But that error which led to their goal is solely his fault and it was fucking shite.
