Leroy Fer 22:03 - Jan 31 with 11579 viewsGaz_M

A player who's come in for a lot of criticism this season - some deserved, most undeserved.

He had a superb game this evening. Sharp in the tackle (embarrassing Cork showing how it's done), good on the ball, and drove forward at times.

He's already been a good signing. Hopefully he continues to improve under a proper manager.

Always liked our Leroy, not always on top form,but he's a tryer,and puts himself about,I know he looks about clumbsy on times,but he is commited,just my opinion like.Other opinions are available obviuosly.

Seems to have some confidence back, cracking shot first half too. He's definitely a more useful player in the attacking sense, but mind you the only reason he had to make that excellent slide tackle in the first half is because he dilly dallied on the ball too long and gave it away, as he often can do. Hopefully PC can coach that out of him and we'll have a good all round player

Remember his previous clubs fans saying he didn't have the attitude... something must have changed in him because since coming to Swansea he has always showed to be a team player, runs often and tries.

Past 2 games he has been brilliant.

Not a holding midfielder! Attacking centre midfiielder who only plays when we play gylfi out wide.

I do like Fer as an option.
Gives us a bit of drive from midfield when he gets going.
Scares the absolute shite out of me anytime he turns towards our goal with the ball mind.

Fer's been one of our key players all season, despite being a target for some of our less "astute" fans.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Fer was the best by a distance in our midfield yesterday.

Carroll and Cork made the Southampton lad Boufal look like Messi when he came on, looked a class act of a player mind you.

I was, like everyone over the moon with the result, but finding it hard to enjoy as much as I should as I still think we are desperately weak in central midfield, and right back. Impressed with Olsson again yesterday however.

I have to agree about Cork, there was a post last night said he done the simple things right ..... The poster obviously watched a different game to me.

Back to subject, as the Dr says has come in for unfair criticism this season but I do wish he would cut out the fancy stuff around the 18 yard box he is defending.

has an odd running style which makes it seem as if he's only going half pace, but it must be an optical illusion because he went round his marker with ease at one point on the by line to get into the area and put in a low cross which was cleared, all the while seeming like he was strolling.

As Tommy Docherty replied to someone who remarked on Leighton James' deceptive pace - "Aye, the lad's deceptive - he's slower than he looks."

Very good player who hasn't put a foot wrong and has won us far more points than we're entitled to expect.

Ki?!! Once again he came on and turned attack in to defence with one ball. In his defence he did try to get back and defend but tbh he needn't have bothered. Gutted he's still here. Shipping him out and not bringing in a replacement would have immensely improved an already good transfer window for us.

I think a lot of the criticism of Fer has been justified, even though I really enjoy watching him play. He reminds me so much of Shelvey in that respect. Fer can do things with the ball that nobody else in our team can and is able to move us from defence to attack with one sublime pass.

What I'm impressed with is his recent discipline without the ball. He seems to have really bought into what Clement is saying. Yes, he will make mistakes but if he didn't he wouldn't be a Swansea player!

We haven't got anyone else in the squad like him and I think our ability to stay up will depend quite a bit on Fer's availability and willingness to keep doing his defensive duties well.

I love seeing him shimmy past a opposition player or two and then slide a pass out wide to one of our wingers....or, as he did yesterday, play a sublime first-touch ball (at pace) into one of our front men.

He tired towards the end and had to be replaced but that did then coincide with a real backs-to-the-wall period for us. Maybe it was going to happen anyway, but Fer's strength and calmness on the ball might have helped us to retain SOME of the ball instead of just banging it anywhere.

Overall, it seem that Fer's learning from Clement and that's hugely encouraging for us all. Long may it continue as we're going to need it.

Poll: Simple...would you want Leon in the squad right now, if he was available?

It deceived me as i thought he was poor last night. Didn't look like he was doing anywhere near enough in the middle. I didn't think any of them did - S'ton came through the middle at will and we only kept them out through a mixture of them not taking their chances and some last ditch defending on the edge of our box.

He was probably just doing the job he was told, but he didn't support Llorente anywhere near as well as he did up at Liverpool.

S'ton moved the ball really well though.

I very disagree with this."Key player all season"my arse. I was so disappointed when he came here, and my opinion of him hasn't changed all season. Up until Clement and Makalele arrived.
I'm holding my hand up here. I never thought he was capable of last night's performance or the one at Anfield. If he keeps this level up for the rest of the season I'll admit to being less "astute". But let's see.

In a lot of respect I think Leroy is another Shelvey although a lot less petulant the talent is there for all to see but sometimes he just switches off but had another good game yesterday and his technique for his effort at goal that brought a good save out of their keeper was fantastic. In these days of modern coaching perhaps we could bring in someone who would work on his levels of concentration imagine what a fully focused Fer could do.

You can disagree all you like. The goals and couple of assists he's already bagged despite not really playing in his best position say otherwise.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

rapt to see him back in the first XI. Yes he's been hot and cold, but being played out of position, particularly by Bradley, does not help. Offensively he definitely think he gives us another outlet, six goals and a few assists will attest to that

Notice that when our wingers get to wide positions he is always pushing into the box to try and get on the end of the crosses - see Llorente's 2nd goal at Anfield, for example. He's also always one of the first to get around the goalscorers after they hit the back of the net.

Think he loves the players, the fans, and the club as well. I'm a big fan of him.

Fer has been a great value signing. A bargain, in fact.
