Leroy Fer 22:03 - Jan 31 with 13984 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.

Fer was outstanding today. Strong as an ox on the ball.

Amazing how so many players are playing better under Clement.

Fer, FF, Mawson,Cork,Llorente,Routs..

If only Bob Badley had had the good fortune to see players inexplicably improve under him.

Chris Wathan bizarrely named Cork MOTM.

I thought he was somewhere in the middle.


Yeah that was him, it's where he usually plays.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

When Leroy is up for it, he can be a real beast and if Clem can keep him as motivated as he clearly was yesterday he's got a massive part to play in our continued resurgence. He was immense yesterday and if he keeps that form up, I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting international calls again.

What sets Fer apart from a lot of players is his ball-carrying IMO. Pure yards. An attribute that never gets as much credit in football as it does in the egg but it's still hugely important. When Fer gets into his stride you can see it's massively difficult to stop him. A similar sort of player to Spurs' Dembele in that respect (who also goes under the radar when compared to others). He's already winning the ball well and playing key passes, if he can keep adding goals to his game we've got a serious player on our hands.

I watched Fer today as I was concerned Drinkwater would run the park. We made sure drinks only realy threatened out wide and Fer put a lot of hard work into keeping the centre tight and shrew face to one decent chance through the middle. Not sure though about standouts it was a sterling team effort. Oh go on then it was Alfies day thought o thought Freddie had a good game. Sorry to drift away from Leroy.

It was impressive when he went eased past 3 players before getting hauled down, and nut megging one of them in process. he has a very weird running style almost looks lazy at times, but then out of nowhere he has gone past a player.

An integral part of a midfield trio rapidly becoming one of the most effective in the bottom half of the PL. With more time spent together under the coaching of Clement and Makalele, who's to say how good Fer, Cork and Carroll can become as a unit?

Yup.

Encouraging to see Clement finding a system that accentuates the strengths of average players such as Fer. It was painful watching him play in central midfield and have little impact on games but he's thriving with more freedom to gallop forward. Should be a good squad option in the future.

It's a step back towards our philosophy of building a team that is greater than the sum of its parts and not relying on individual talent. Obvious we're going to need another quality central midfielder though, especially if we persist with this formation.

I always said we needed to fit him in somehow, as he makes things happen in the final third.

Add in;
- He is very strong in the air
- He eats up the ground
- He is strong on the ball
- He is fukking up for it

...and you have an important player for us.



One thing he could do more of (as his strengths will allow him to succeed at it) is get into the box when a cross is about to be stuck in there.

Several times I have noticed that he hangs back just outside the box, often with Siggy.
Siggy and Carroll should be lurking outside the box and Fer should be breaking his neck to join Llorente in the box.
I guarantee you that if he gets himself in there he will score goals.

Don't be so patronising - who says you're the font of all knowledge when it comes to football? Are posters who disagree with you not allowed to post?

The truth is, Fer has been absolute dogshit when playing for QPR and Norwich, and was no better under Guido or Coach Bob. It's only under PC that his talents are coming to the fore.
If he was the worldbeater you seem to think he is, his class would have risen above all that. So "average player" isn't that far off the mark -albeit PC has now got him playing out of his skin. And long may it continue.

That second paragraph isn't really "truth" though is it?

Fer's been a decent player since he got here, and was the only one scoring goals during a tough start. Had he not done that we may have been even deeper in the relegation shit than we are.

"Absolute dogshit"? Don't be daft.

There is certainly a good player in Fer but not as a holding midfielder or one who just plays in the front of the centre halves.
Seems to feed on confidence much more than the average player and at present is playing in his best position, but is he the best player we have capable of playing in that position?
At present, our main focus is staying in this league and Gylfi has to be sacrificed out wide to allow Fer to play that role behind the striker, at present this is working a treat.
