Fabian Schar admits it is hard to find the words to describe the feeling in Newcastle United's dressing room after Wor Flags dedicated a special display to the Magpies' defensive heroes. The now infamous image taken earlier this season, which shows Schar, his fellow ever-present defenders and Pope celebrating, was on display in the Gallowgate End before kick-off.
Newcastle 's defence was again at its brilliant best as Chelsea struggled to break through. Pope was forced into a few saves from the travelling attackers but it is now six wins on the spin for Eddie Howe 's high-flying Magpies.
"Honestly, the feeling in the team is great. It's hard to find the words," Schar told NUFC TV when asked about the display. "The way we defend as a team, not just the people you see on the banner, it's unbelievable.

"Seven clean sheets which is great. If you defend like this, it's always tough to get beat. We always score goals so we need to continue to do this together and hopefully the season will be great after the world cup."
There is a feeling Newcastle can achieve something special this season, with champions Manchester City just two points ahead of the north east outfit in second-place. Howe is refusing to be drawn on whether his team can achieve a European finish but Schar admits he and his team-mates are experiencing an unprecedented feeling.
"The feeling, I've never had this before," he added. "It's great when results are going like this. We've won six in a row and we have fun on the pitch, enjoy our football. I'm tired now but it's worth it."
