Before the game today, I'd been saying how Dyer was lucky that we had only two fully fit wingers, since he'd not be getting any game time otherwise ... and that he looked like he was playing on close to zero confidence ... first half he was much better than previous weeks - looked solid (though not really a threat) and not a liability.
Second half, he was taking people on again, playing up on his toes and demanding the ball - I haven't seen that in AGES ... He was being double-marked but it didn't knock him off his stride ... Montero feeling his way back into the game seemed the weaker link on the wings today for a change ...
Is the Dyer of old on his way back??? |  | | |  |

I can't remember Dyer taking on a player. He looked hesitant and their defender had him in his pocket all match.
One run in 2nd half , when he cut into middle of pitch was highlight.
Thought Barrow must have been injured, or would have taken Dyer off.
Montero did more in 10 mins than Dyer did in 90.
just my view, all opinions. | |

I thought he was much better today too. And I thought we'd score when Rangel came on to team up with him. |  | | |

Watch tonight's re-run - Sky one would be best ... and you should see. We were in the West near the corner flag so got a good view of him demanding the ball, taking on players etc especially in the second half. All opinions, but it's what I saw from him today.
Today I thought Montero was the one looking hesitant though not surprising coming off a hamstring injury that flared up again before last week's game ... [Post edited 7 Feb 2015 21:43]

Back on the right hand side in the 2nd half he was much better than he has been for the last couple of months.
A lively Dyer on the right and a fit Montero on the left and we're really in business. |  | | |

Lets be honest and as much as I hate to say it, hes been shite in the last few months.
He cant cross and highly predicable, he should not be 1st choice at the moment.
He shite, sorry to be blunt, hes lost his mojo, but for £35000 a week or whatever he aint earning that money! |  | | |

He put in a decent shift, and he's one of those players it's almost impossible to feel animosity towards....but I still feel he should be fined a weeks wages if he ever attempts to shoot from outside the box, and I never EVER expect anything at all to come from a 1-1 with a defender.
...and that's probably not good enough. |  |

Keep the faith?
Im sure even I could put a few decent crosses, that more than Dyer has in the last few months.
I hate to bash players, but hes been naff for a while and the money im sure hes earning, he needs his ass kicked! | | | |

In the first half he was played on the left wing.
Second half back on the right wing .
When Angel came on he improved considerably .
He has played with Jazz and Tiendalli quite a lot lately.Neither of those players are good at linking with him and he does need a foil to be seen at his best.Angel Rangel gives him that foil and their interlink play made a big difference in the second half. | |

First of all yes he has been rubbish the last few weeks and I have always loved him but I would be putting him fifth if we had five fit wide players (including Emnes).
Defensively he always puts in a shift and that includes the last few weeks but he isn't paid as a defender.
Today he was great, I stand in the east so he was on the far side in both halves and even so I could see the vast improvement. Anyone who thinks he was rubbish today should give up watching football they have truly no idea. |  | | |

Sorry mate but I disagree with virtually all of that...Apart from your 1st sentence...
ND was pretty pants again today. Constantly checking on any runs made. Standing too long on the ball. Wrong choices again and again. Gifting the ball far too easy.
He quite honestly has been garbage since our game with S'ton at home ( at the time of talk of England call-up)
As others have said if we had more fit wingers he'd be on the bench.
All that said I do agree he looked a bit better when Rangel came on.... I just hope he can play himself back to something like his early season form .... Because right now he just doesn't deserve his place in the starting line-up... Harsh but honest!!!! [Post edited 8 Feb 2015 1:00]

Nathan was much improved today but has some way to being back to his best - here's hoping he back whipping his mojo before to long. On the other wing Jefferson really would benefit from having the ball played in front of him - the number of times he had to stop his run and then have the ball played to him was staggering |  | | |

Montero didn't attack the space all game.
You would swear that him and Naughton had their bollocks tied together by invisible elastic bands... |  |

Was Dyer better today? Definitely. Started running at the opposition rather than just towards them and even put in a few runs that allowed Rangel in particular to play passes beyond the defender, something we haven't seen for too long.
Was he back to his best? Definitely not but positive signs and if our wide men keep getting injured then we're going to need him. |  | | |

There has been a marked reluctance from most players to attack space all season. Clearly a tactical choice. |  |

Brief flashes of the old Nate today that I used to love watching, but overall inconsistency. He definitely works better with Rangel.
Sorry, but as much as I hate to say it, he should be got rid of in the summer. |  |

I don't know enough about the back room staff but sometimes I wonder if Dyer and Routledge to a lesser extent are suffering from a slight lack of attacking nous in the coaching staff. I think that our wingers or certainly the 3 behind the striker were our most exciting and dangerous players under Laudrup, and would assume (maybe wrongly) that for all the other issues that arose in his time , he could really coach the best out of wingers/attackers and that now perhaps the focus is elsewhere because thats where the strength of coaching knowledge lies.
Like I said, maybe I am unaware of who in the coaching team would form the attacking elements Curt aside and I may be completely wrong but jut wonder if it is why they are not having the impact they used to. | | | |

Montero did nothing much other than miscontrol the ball into touch a few times and completely ignore the easy inside ball to Shelvey who could have shot.
Dyer was much better second half as the game had opened up and had space. It took him a while to get used to playing the ML way, now hes having to learn to do the opposite and beat a man down the outside again. |  |
