Fabian Schär

When he’s playing to his best ability he’s probably our best defender along with Lejeune. But he makes too many mistakes, especially for a team that seems to get punished with every mistake we make. And he’s too hot headed, always seems to be on the cusp of picking up stupid cards.

 

Fernandez will never affect a game in the way Schär can but he’s more dependable, more consistent. But it’s a lower overall end product.

 

Bruce would rather have 2 or 3 cloggers in there. Lower end product but consistent. He’d see that as playing percentages and that overall we’d pick up more points over the course of a season.

 

that's why he's much better in a back 3 than in a 2.

Daily mail (sorry) say liverpool are after him, it would be an honour to see him win trophies at Rafas place 

Hates Bruce this lad doesn't he wants him out as much as we do.

It's desperate, man. Such a shame seeing Schar play like this because he's always been a nice player to watch capable of some real quality and intelligence. Not that I blame him one jot, mind.

Schite tonight

Is not a very good defender, he's a bit rash and there is always a mistake lurking. Nice player though, just not in central defense.

Schite tonight

Got booked due to a shite lascelles pass, tried to cover lascelles for the first goal.  Playing on the left when he should be in the centre.  Lascelles terrified of playing as one of the outside centre backs.  Lascelles is the bigger problem teams just pass around him.  Total passenger gone so far back under bruce

Looked really pissed off last night and I think he would have been happy to get sent off.  What a downward spiral

You can see with him, and a number of others, that they're going out there with a "what's the point" type attitude. Head's have gone.

Football, whilst being a business, is supposed to be fun, for players and fans. It's anything but fun at Newcastle.

I agree, he hates Bruce like and didn’t want to be out there that was clear to see. I don’t blame him for that so won’t judge him under this absolute wanker of a “head coach”

Been evident for a while they are going through the motions , picked up on it alarmingly against Sheff United then Arsenal they visibly downed tools .Where’s the smiles , the captain getting into them on the pitch, they hide, they have no leader on and off the pitch, fuck do we 3xpect of them?

One of the best CBS in the premier league under Rafa and a joy to watch.

He’s been well and truly Bruced.

He was trying way too much. Don’t really blame him since nobody else in the team can play.

Magnificent. Deserves so much better.

He was like Albert second half, shame the rest of the team was Steptoe.

Put him and Fernandez in charge until the end of the season.

Brilliant performance from him.

He seems so much happier when he can get forward more.

Majestic. Just nice to see a glimpse of a good footballer doing his stuff in a Newcastle shirt.

Put him and Fernandez in charge until the end of the season.

Literally, do. I said the other day I reckon if we let the players sort it out amongst themselves before kick off we would play better stuff.

Leeds are the ideal team for a ball carrying defender to play against like as with their man marking system once he's broken out others are wary of leaving their man to close. Still did well though.

Dropped for Clark as soon as Clark's back.

He seemed to take responsibility in realising that if you beat a man and carry on running Leeds struggle because they're busy man marking other players

He’ll be sold to Liverpool for a pittance by the end of the month.
