Nathan Dyer has been told his future lies at Swansea even though manager Garry Monk has left him out of his last three match-day squads . Dyer started the season on fire with three goals in as many Barclays Premier League games and was reported to be in international contention when England manager Roy Hodgson paid a visit to the Liberty Stadium in September . But Dyer 's form has tailed off since that blistering start and he is now behind fellow widemen Wayne Routledge and Jefferson Montero in the Liberty Stadium pecking order . Nathan Dyer ( left ) should stay at Swansea City despite his recent absence from the side , says Garry Monk . The 27-year-old winger has even failed to make the bench for Swansea 's last three games against Manchester United , Burnley and Tottenham but Monk explained that was down to him changing his customary 4-3-3 formation to one featuring a midfield diamond . 'These are very difficult decisions for me , ' Monk explained . 'Nathan had a fantastic start to the season , he had a little dip and then he came back a bit . 'He has probably been a bit more inconsistent but he has still contributed fantastically to the team . There are no problems whatsoever with Nathan . 'He is one who does deserve to be in match-day squads but unfortunately with the way things are sometimes that is n't always possible . 'The formation we 've been playing dictates the bench , you have to look what you need and there are normally three or four players who miss out . ' Monk has said it has been difficult to leave Dyer out and feels he deserves to be in be in the match-day squads . Dyer has made over 200 league appearances for Swansea since signing from Monk 's former club Southampton in a £400,000 deal in 2009 . The Wiltshire-born winger helped the club win promotion to the Premier League in 2011 and has been a consistent performer in the top flight - and Monk insists he still has a big part to play at Swansea . ' I have known him since he was 14 and watched his career , I know him better than probably anyone else in the squad , ' Monk said . 'Nathan has contributed a lot this season , he is a fantastic player to work with and someone who is at a very good level . Monk has known Dyer since he was 14 and says he knows him better than any other member of his squad . 'He is a big part of what I am doing here but there are moments within seasons where you miss out . 'We have four good wide players in Jeff , Wayne and Nathan and Mo Barrow coming through , they are all different types who can contribute different things and selection depends on who we are playing and how the players have trained . 'These decisions are never easy - it 's probably the hardest part of the job - but I am always honest with the players and I think they respect that . '
