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. In that context you might question why anyone would suggest moving him out of our defence to utilise him elsewhere? I certainly would not advocate that as a long-term fix, however, I do think it is an in-game option we should be exploring to change things. Schar is, to me, the classic unsung hero. I would guess few, if any, of our squad have played more minutes during Eddie Howe’s revolution, certainly starting from that win at Leeds in late January 2022 which kickstarted our revival. Everyone is entitled to the odd blip and without doubt some readers will be able to point to some from Schar, but he has, in general, been a pillar of consistency
