Dyer Won't Say No To Spurs Rumours
"I think it was his way of showing me that he wants me to stay. It's just a shame I didn't have a very good game.
"As for the Tottenham rumours, I've got nothing more to say about it."
The 28-year-old struggled against Chelsea and he was again off-form again on Monday, and many fans think he is looking for a move away from St James' Park. Something he refuses to talk about.
Dyer: "We've only got ourselves to blame and I have to take my share of that because their goal was down to me because I got caught dwelling on the ball. It wasn't a good captain's performance because I cost us the game. It was a miserable day.
"Reading is a hard place to go, but they didn't really create that much until I gave them that chance.
"We created chances, but we didn't take them. We have to do that if we're going to get results.
"The one bonus was Michael getting a full 90 minutes. He looked strong and sharp, but it's going to take him a few games and we're not going to see the best of Michael Owen until next season.
"It will have done him good to get 90 minutes under his belt and you can already see what he will bring to the team because he was always playing off the shoulder of the last defender.
"He had a couple of borderline offside decisions which, on an other day, might have gone our way.
"But, while it's great to have Michael back, we can't expect him to work miracles. He is going to take a bit of time to get back to his best and it's up to the rest of us to help him. He can't do it all on his own."
