Always. Literally always. Amine Harit has become the centerpiece of this FC Schalke team all over again after suffering last year with the rest of his teammates.

The problem that Harit often runs into is needing someone to finish off attacking moves. Harit himself has a suave finish in his back pocket, but he can’t be relied upon to be our top goal scorer, even though he currently is.

A creator is only as good as the strikers he feeds, and right now, Harit is having to serve in both roles. Which just ramps up his value to the club and his importance in every single match. The fact that this is a Revierderby does nothing to his key status. It just puts a bigger spotlight on him, a spotlight that he should be used to at this point.
