After three games, who do you think has settled in to the pace of the Premiership, and the style of the team best?
Thought Leon's played well in all three games & yesterday his composure at times was incredible. Like the look of caulker too, think the boy is settling-in nicely & think promising for the season ahead. But for me, it's got to be Augustien, glad he's been given his chance & he's certainly taking it...... Know it's about outfield!! But Vorm , what a signing........
I know it's predictable cos of my name but I have to go with Leon. Imo no-one in the Swans squad can do what he does.
I said at the beginning of the season and it turns out i may actually be correct so far...Agustien been outstanding!!!
there have been a few who have impressed me so far leon kemy taylor caulker allen vorm has been the best signing and most impressive so far , he has earned us 2 pts that we wouldnt have had with dorus between the sticks best out field player so far for me is kemy. seems to get better with each game and is now showing his potential after a difficult start with us, it was a joy to watch him drop clattermole after getting put up in the air earlier, it shows he has the guts for a fight and wont take any **** !! we dropped off when he left the field.
Agustien is the only one of our players that has yet to be muscled off the ball. I said continuously last season that we should have not loaned him out but was shouted down. Nice to be proved right. <self-satisfied-smug-grin-smiley> But I have to say I don't think many of our players have looked over-awed. NJs list above is spot on. As one of his biggest fans I've been disappointed in Dobbie so far. He has to learn that you don't get the time in this division that you do in the Championship. That said, he's only getting 15 minutes a game so I'm sure he'll improve. He's far more likely to get a goal than Routledge imo.
Kemy has really impressed me this season so I would vote for him. That said, Caulker looks like he's going to be something special.
So if we look at this for the new players in, who gets the nod ? Vorm we know but out of the rest, I say Cauker though he did mess that pass back yesterday
Of the new guys Caulker looks the business. He's still only 19 too so will only improve. He could be instrumental in keeping us up, along with Vorm. On that point I thought Lee Dixon along with a gleeful Lineker (who is married to a blueturd, btw) were out of order on MOM last night. It was disingenuous when they said that we are vulnerable at the back. They then showed a couple of 3 on 2 Sunderland counter-attacks. Both neglected to point out that this was towards the last quarter of the game, we were almost playing four forwards and were really going for it. We were always going to be vulnerable to a quick counter and the decision to switch formation is a testament to Rodgers' bravery as opposed to an indictment of our back line.
I'll go for Kemy as well at the moment. When we start to see more attacking I think Dyer will be our star again!
Hit the road- you were indeed a big fan of kemy last year and we differed on his loan spell to palace but i think it was the right move at the time , we did both agree he was talented and could do a job but i dont think getting injured pre season helped him, he was behind others in the team and couldnt force his way back in . Same with dobbie , you and i were at logger heads over his loan ,he came back a better player from blackpool . When i first saw him i thought he would be very good for us but again injury early on didnt help his cause. Kemy has got stronger in each game and will be massive for us this year, the only player missing out now is joe allen , but we know he will get minutes and do well when called upon. Leon has been immense for such a small guy ,it was my main worry that we would get kicked and pushed around in the middle ,it has proven not to be the case. Sunderland was the ideal game to test our midfield against the physical stuff and we came out looking good ,this bodes well for the season providing all stay fit.
For me only seeing snippets of games on line etc. Think Leon has settled very well, Kemy looks to be getting better and better. Dyer and Rangel going on very nicely and finding there feet. Vorm just looks quality. Must say a little disappointed with Sinclair.
I think sinclair is a little behind the others in terms of fitness , think he came back later after the u 21 tournement so i expect him to be on fire by the time we take on chelsea!!
neveroffsidereff Leon was immense yesterday, doesn't look out of place at all at the higher level. The guy has stepped it up again. His distribution, composure & ability to find himself time & space was brilliant. I must admit I didn't have down as my starting choice, due to I think he doesn't give us enough in an attacking sense. But give credit where it's due, he was fantastic. Kemy too, getting stronger & more influential..... Sinclair will certainly be up to prove a point at The Bridge..
Leon has stepped up and looks comfortable at this level along with Kemy and Caulker who will improve with us. As for Vorm he is immense and a class above our previous keeper.
