on the football pitch ofcourse. There are times when I really want to put Pozuelo in my favourite first 11 against the next opponent, but Dyer is just one of those types, you have no idea wether it will be a stinker or a blast. He can rip defences apart, has shown it on a number occasions and yet he can contribute with poor decision making and abysmal crossing ... lets not mention his lack of ability to shoot from outside the area, he does try it a lot sometimes. So, I have decided not to comment that much on him anymore and simply accept the good days .. and the bad. One thing I dont understand about Dyer though, he doesnt seem to be developing his game, to choose the right decisions at the right time ... maybe he doesnt feel he has to or he simply cant. I am happy to have Dyer on the team though, on his good days he is a joy to watch and a nightmare for most defences. About Pozuelo, so far he seems to be a very good "second half" guy but needs to mature and keep his position a bit more. One of the reasons I love Dyer, he is more consistent in being inconsistent regardless of his role as a starter or substitute ... this may sound weird. Anyway, hugs to all you Jacks.
Dyer to me, looks like he's just come into form. Thought he had a tidy game against Southampton, and looked to be our best avenue to get a goal from.
For all he's perceived faults at least Dyer is experienced enough to keep discipline in his positional play , Pozuelo is exciting to watch and hopefully will reach his full potential playing for us , but at the moment he's still a lot to learn and as you've posted still has to mature He needs keep his position within the team , a few times recently he's creating problems for both Michu and Bony in some respects Ben or Rangel in coming inside and not giving options outside for the fullbacks .But Nathan is starting to show a more consistent high level of play and he's overshadowing both Poz and Routledge at the moment.
I think Dyer can have his shockers like everyone else. If he didn't have those terrible games then he would not be playing for the Swans. The guy is only 24yr old so he will improve over the next few years . He can be frustrating sometimes for sure but im glad he is still here and didn't go elsewhere in the summer, when the Spanish lads all fook off after Laudrup goes it will be the likes of Nathen that will be our main heart beat and senior pro, we must remember these guys who have been on the journey with us, im not talking about playing them if they are not up to it , I mean we must remember that these boys while not being perfect at this level will never let us down when it comes to the **** hitting the fan. Ive slagged Nathen when he has been poor, ive praised him highly when he has played well, but he is a true Jack Bastard and we cant say that about our Spanish lot just yet can we? lets not forget about the guys that got us here
Pozuelo's not a winger. There's no comparison to be made between the two. We wouldn't even be doing it if it wasn't for Laudrup's habit of playing people out of position.
I wouldn't exactly call it a habit . anyway , playing different positions is a part of modern football now, we need players that are adaptable and can be moved around .
No but if a player is selected for a position then you'd expect him to play there , thats where the self discipline comes in .
he certainly is a strange lad but seems to be having more shockers than goodies atm however having said that I thought he had a fine game v ston. some games he does not look remotely interested, don't know what to make of him.
Dyer's ability to dribble with the ball at pace is very good. He can get past players too, even at this level. However that's where it ends for me. His crossing is almost always rank and his shooting patchy at best. If he worked on those aspects of his game he'd be a much better player.
Dyer is all ready an very experienced player. He was by far our best player against Southampton. The problem with Dyer is his lack of stability. He play too many average matchs. He is a good player but Routledge, Pozuelo and Pablo are just better players during a whole season. The idea that Pozuelo is our new central attacking midfielder (together with Michu) is rubbish. As long as we do have Michu, Pozuelo will (99 % times) only play as wing, because of Michu quality and goalscoring ability. How Laudrup has used Pozuelo so far just shows it.
Joker - are you serious about Pablo??? or do you just wish it. Whether Poz is a winger or not doesn't matter that's where he's picked to play and that's where he needs to play - love the guy but he screws up the system when he's on the wing - as Tiendalli found out!
