I don't understand why Monk favours Routledge so much. Ever since he's been appointed, he's been in every one of his starting XIs and he's almost never subbed off regardless of how bad he's been. I know he was solid today and assisted Bony's goal, but lately, he's been bad. That game last week against West Ham when he lost the ball every time he received it and struggled to even complete a pass was perhaps the worst performance I have ever seen from a guy in the Prem since Ali Dia.
He constantly gets the ball nicked from him, he almost never completes a decent cross, and his finishing is just piss poor. Piss poor. There's been like 3-4 times this season when he was clear on goal and did nothing but hit the ball straight at the keeper.
Dyer started off the season fantastically, scoring 3 goals in 3 games, but then Montero established himself in the starting XI and he got injured. Monk sacrificed Dyer, playing Montero in his natural left wing role and moving Routledge to his unnatural role on the right where Dyer normally plays. It hasn't really worked out thus far, and I seriously think we'd benefit greatly if our natural right winger starts on the right over Routs.
We're only scoring about a goal a game, and this needs to change. Stop playing Routledge in a role he's unaccustomed to and hoping that its going to work Monk. The time to drop him and play Dyer is long overdue. [Post edited 14 Dec 2014 18:36]

unaccustomed to role ? seriously ? take a look at his Prem career (clue,more games than ANY Swans player and predominantly on the right......Is he not joint 2nd top scorer as well ? Dyer might well be a fans favourite but I reckon Routs is playing on merit. Better than Montero today no question. |  | | |

Routledge is a left winger. Always has been, always will be. His preference is always on the left, and in the past, he's only played on the right very sparingly and out of necessity.
He doesn't look comfortable at all on the right. Dyer should definitely be starting over him. |  | | |

At the moment no ,dyer was poor for a while he has to start taking players on also his movement needs to be a lot better the last few games he's played he receives the ball standing still and plays it back or inside then just stands there what happened to the old give and go dyer |  | | |

Apart from the assist for the goal today he set up 3 or 4 more clear chances,mostly for Bony. | | | |

I don't know what you're going on about. Perhaps you're thinking of another player. Routledge is a left winger and he's played nearly every game of his career in that role. |  |

Sorry i disagree there. He has done as well as any other winger we have on the books, nathen has always been more of a favourite than wayne even when he runs around like a headless chicken giving the ball away .
Dyer will get a run after today IMO.
With Routs though not instead of him, Montero needs to drop out for a bit or come on later in the game, he has done great but is very one dimensional at times and is terrible for not releasing the ball at the right times.
Time to change montero,bartley and britton for hull away, britton only because i feel we wont be playing much footy up there . |  | | |

Don't even know why I'm replying to this clown, but look for yourself:

It's not just about the right winger in isolation though. There's also the fact that Rangel looks so much better when he has Dyer in front of him. |  |

I would imagine that watching games would give you a fairly good indication that Routledge has predominantly played on the left hand side for us.
As bad as he was in the last two games however, he did OK today. |  |
| 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. |

Agreed,for us he has obviousy played predom on the left. I was called a clown by someone who claims he's played on the left ALL his career which is 100% rubbish. Still waiting for an apology but I wont hold my breath.... | | | |

no doubt about that,prob get more game time in the next few weeks.Personally I think Jeff offers more coming off the bench. | | | |

Routs is as right footed as they come (and started on the right in his Palace days i believe). I feel sorry for Dyer - he looked very lively in the ladt home game when he came on . And his understanding with Rangel is probably the best partnership at the club. But every time I think he should start ahead of Routs, Routs goes and has a great spell like in the second half today. If anything today i would have brought Montero off. Although he was good first half, in the second everything went through Routs. |  | | |

I thought he played well today. People saying that he can't play right wing, he's a winger and he's right footed ffs. He's a much better crosser of the ball than Dyer.
That said I always think it's important to bring a winger on as sub just for fresh legs. Surprised he didn't come on today after he came on and did well vs Qpr |  | | |

didn't think Routledge did a lot wrong today. was gash last week, really useless.
against a team today who played away in Turkey on Thursday and who we were dominating surely giving Dyer a go would have been a good option?
Has he been shagging Monks Mrs or something? |  |

Not necessarily a starter today, but works well as a sub with Routledge going over to the left and a knackered Montero coming off.
That sub would have worked better than the Bony/Gomis IMHO. Dyer also does the defensive stuff well. Would have been ideal in the later stages today. |  |

But apart from that has he ever played right wing for us (ignoring the first season when he did with Scottie on the left). Or the second with Pabs on the left. Or the times when him and Dyer interchange, or when Brenda played him in the middle. Eh!? What have you got to say now then?  | | | |

I think Dyer should have started yes, Wayne was off it last week and against Palace. |  | | |

in answer (sort of ) to the OP, I think theres a good argument for rotating all 3 more often, Jeff and Routs can 'apparently' play both sides but Nath only ever seems to play right. Like I said earlier I actually think Jeff is better off the bench when his direct stupidly quick running carries more threat against tired defenders. | | | |
