Many Newcastle United fans on social media heaped praise on Fabian Schar for his performance during the 1-0 win over Watford on Saturday.

The 26-year-old defender replaced Jamaal Lascelles at the half-time break with the Magpies captain seemingly injured, and didn’t disappoint upon entering the game.

One Magpies fan claimed that the Schar’s introduction along with Ki Sung-yeung completely changed the match in his side’s favour, while another described the centre-back as a tank.

COMMENTARY 

Schar has been waiting in the wings patiently for his chance to shine and didn’t let an opportunity pass him by. The 26-year-old played like a man possessed in order to make Rafa Benitez more than aware of his talents. While the Magpies are short in several areas, Benitez does have plenty of centre-backs to choose from and this has left Schar hardly having played since joining in the summer. Yet based on his display against the Hornets, he could soon find himself playing regularly. As several fans pointed out Schar was outstanding in his latest outing and deserves to have supporters singing his praise. While some fans hastily dub him better than Lascelles as well as Federico Fernandez, they may end up being right. Schar looks more skilful then his fellow centre-backs while also being as reliable when it comes to stopping his opposition scoring. It will be harsh if Benitez doesn’t reward Schar with more playing time following his display against the Hornets.
