He also insisted the performances and results will improve, which will see the Magpies edge away from the relegation zone in the coming months.
He acknowledged it has been a “mixed start to the season”, but points to the run of very tough fixtures the opening quarter of the season contained.
He added: “But we will improve. We know how good we can be and all we can do is look forward day by day.
“I’m positive in the quality and belief in the team, we perhaps have more quality than last year.”
Of course, Newcastle have spent a lot of money between Benitez leaving and the summer transfer window closing, but it is not so much the playing squad that is the worry for many fans.
The person in charge of tactics, picking the side, and nurturing the players is a bigger concern for some, with Steve Bruce still not seen as being up to the task of the manager’s role.
But it is not the belief of all fans, and certainly, the social media reaction has been mixed, with some fans pointing at Bruce, others insisting the striking department is weaker, while some believe Schar has a point, and the team just needs time.

Here are a few of the fans’ responses to Schar’s comments from Twitter:
