![]() Iam surprised of this player, absolutely fantastic!
never seen a a defender with such accurate passes and smart penetrations. if he continues like this we can guarantee 25+ millions at the end of the season. The problem is that I feel so sorry for Sidnie who will rarely play this season unless other defenders are injured or if coach is changed. |

![]() My only critic is that we teams that know how to press high, he will sooner or later make a key mistake that will cost us a goal. I hope it doesn't happen too often. For example, I've seen him make many wrong passes against Real Madrid. Again, he's the best signing of the season so far.

![]() Newcastle have spotted his ability to be a defensive midfielder and he scored twice recently. His runs forward are still dangerous. We missed an opportunity not playing him further forward.

![]() Technically, he is one of three CB's. But watching him closely, it almost appears that he becomes a sweeper in front of the other two CB's when Newcastle are attacking. Very interesting move from Benitez and something i thought Liverpool should have done with Gerrard to get a couple more years out of him.

I said many times that I wish to see Schar playing as defensive midfielder, we wasted his talent and he showed us a "normal" central defender. |

![]() He and Sidnei were very similar players and that was one of (many) problems. If we played 3 at the back, Fabian and Sidnei + one solid hardcore CB that would be great. Ofcourse we didn't have a solid hardcore CB.
