Xaver "No Middle Name" Schlager

He was very tidy and industrious yesterday. Like the cut of his jib. Be interesting to see if he can hold down that place this season.

He was brilliant

The way he drove past players & still retained the ball in a really packed midfield was excellent, not even mentioning his constant winning back of the ball. Really good signing, totally get what he says when he mentioned he does the dirty work so others can play when he first joined.

Basically, he would win the ball, drive forward 10-20 yards, pass to an attacking player.
 
Decent in the cameo against Leeds, excellent at Anfield and our best player against Spurs. A good start to his Premier League career with us I think.

In the cup game they were all crap.

My preference would be Yates and Schlager. There's a midfield not many will f*ck with.

That's the beauty of our central midfield. Lots of good options. None of them bad. Sangare, Cheese, Schlager, Yates and Dom. Even MGW, although I'd be loathed to move him back.
 
Saw him wandering in down Pavillion Road on Saturday morning. Without my glasses, can't make anyone out from a distance and just thought to myself 'this guy looks like a cool dude...top to toe in red Adi Originals...tracky bottoms, t-shirt, tracky top over his shoulder....wish I was that brave'. Then I realised it was Schlager and he was made to wear it.

Like the idea that he'd just hopped off the #1 South Notts from town, but no doubt he's not living far away. Either way, got to like a Premier League footballer who walks to the ground on match days.

That’s the first such instance I’ve heard of since the Evening or Football Post did a piece on Jean-Claude Darcheville walking to the ground over Trent Bridge because he was living just across the river. I’m imagining a picture of him on the bridge with his boots slung round his neck, but I might be imagining that…
 
Perhaps he was dropped off at the top of the road. Or maybe the club have temporarily put in him in one of those river flats that Kevin Pietersen might have described as a really dangerous place to live. Was impressed he was on foot though. Had just assumed all PL footballers arrived in sports cars with tinted windows and drive straight through the car park. Carrying his man bag that all footballers seem to have. Doubt there are a pair of Puma Kings in any of those now though sadly.

Probably just had a wander to the shops from his apartment in the old Rushcliffe council building behind the Southbank bar.

Glad he doesn’t take fashion tips from the French national team. Would take a red Adidas originals tracksuit any day over these.

Boots around the neck, reminds me of the classic statue of Cloughie in the park in Middlesborough as he runs through to training. It's my favourite of him.
