England's 1-0 defeat in Dortmund was marred by fans booing the German national anthem and singing distasteful songs , actions FA chairman Greg Clarke described as "inappropriate, disrespectful and disappointing".
Dier, who played the full 90 minutes, said he was unaware of the chanting but has called on fans to show respect.
The Tottenham man also hopes supporters will be considerate during Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley, where tributes are planned for the victims of this week's terrorist attack in London.
He said in a press conference: "In general the fans have been fantastic with us. Wherever we go they're always fantastic, the support they given us is amazing, but all we ask is they support us in the right way and be respectful.
"And of course because of the dreadful stuff that's happened over the last couple of days in London, we just hope the fans will be very respectful of that, and us as players we're going to respect everything in the right way and do everything to honour the people who passed away this week."
