Nick Pope has heaped praise on Newcastle United centre-backs Sven Botman and Fabian Schar after a successful first half of the campaign.
The England goalie has struck a wonderful rapport with the duo with the defensive stars helping him keep seven Premier League clean sheets and book a place at the World Cup. The Magpies can also boast one of the sturdiest defences in the top-flight 11 goals conceded so far.
When asked about playing with Schar and Botman: "They are great to play with on and off the ball. "Communication, calmness and aggressiveness when required, they give everything. It was great to be behind them."
