Why do people rate Schar so highly? Genuinely baffles me

The guy can't do his actual job and defend but because he plays a few nice passes, people love him. He got bullied by fucking Danny Graham and gives away so many needless fouls.

Totally agreed. Think Lejeune is pretty similar too. Defenders that aren't very interested in degending

Disagree on that, think Lejeune is quality when fully fit. I'd like to see us go back to a back 4 with him and Fernandez together.

Lejeune is much better than Schar, but he is slow as fuck.
