Could Fabian Schar be the solution to Newcastle's midfield pressures?Could Fabian Schar be the solution to Newcastle's midfield pressures?Watching how John Stones orchestrated play during the Manchester derby, only served to remind me that the answer to some of Newcastle’s midfield pressures, may be staring us in the face. Fabian Schar was magnificent against Wolves, carrying a wobbly defence on a day when none of Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles or Dan Burn had the best of matches.
