Fabian Schar believes that Newcastle United are performing better this season.
Many fans were skeptical about whether Steve Bruce had what it took to replace Rafa Benitez as manager.
And while Newcastle are only a place and point off the relegation zone, Schar thinks they have improved from last term.
"It's been a mixed start to the season but we've had a difficult start against five of the big sides in the first 10 games," Schar exclusively told Sky Sports News.
"We know how difficult the league is and that we have to score more goals.
"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.
"We're still at the bottom of the table but it's very close and with one or two wins everything looks better."
