He hunted down the player on the ball and did Patterson's job for him.
I dont think anyone could ever complain about Gordon's workrate FFS!

He was Gordon's man and Gordon had to put the sprint on because he was walking back and let him go in the first place
Think one of the centre halves had a go at him in a game about being out of position earlier on in the season
Good to see him responding, he nearly reminded me of 2013/14 Coleman at times today

Exactly this. Lots to learn but age is on his side
If you were finishing in the European slots then the likes of patterson won't be in such a hurry to move in a few years if he continues to progress like I think he will. Always kind of think everton under achieve a bit though. I'd class yourselfs as one of the bigger clubs in the epl. It's mental that the last time you won a domestic cup was in 95. More effort should be put into the domestic cups from yourselfs to win some things .

Yeah he was Gordons man all day long but Gordon had just gone too narrow as Rice advanced with the ball. As soon as Rice played it out to Cresswell the winger goes out there to close him down, way too far for the right back to go out. If he did that would have forced one of the 2 centre backs out leaving one of the 2 WHU attackers unmarked. Patterson did the right thing by dropping to cover the near post cross, or being the first defender if Cresswell got past Gordon rather than 1 of the centre backs leaving their position to do so.

He's got a ceiling far, far, higher than Coleman ever had. We've not seen remotely the best of him yet, he's very cautiously feeling his way into the league. He's either going to be a club legend or earn us far, far more than the 11m we paid for him. And it was 11m.

Exactly. Thank you for showing it so clearly. Anyone who watches football regularly and understands the game would tell you that it was Gordon's man and Patterson was in the right position. (Patterson was actually explaining that to Gordon once the ball was safe as you could see him pointing).
In the pic above (56:48) if Patterson goes out, rice plays it between the lines to the attacker who then run the outside line past the CB. Onana should have been telling Gordon to get out wide, and looking at iwobis arms in the air, it looks like Iwobi was shouting to get across.
I think Patterson has all the tools, agree insofar he has more technique and "natural ability" than Coleman did, but Coleman mentally was superb. He won a lot of duels with exceptional players just with pure determination. Patterson looks to be on a par thus far and let's hope what you predict comes true.
These things happen imo, no need to over analyse it, I'm just glad the players seem to care enough to call each other out properly. Shows they care about communication as a team

I think it's more that there's certain posters who find anything they can to criticise him about (even when it's not his fault like the above example which he was blamed for).
The only agenda I have is that I must be the one booing the loudest

You'll have lots of us challenging for that honour when it comes to the blues ?

I think Gordon thought that Patterson was gonna come out and they would then double up on Cresswell, but when he didn't to be fair to Gordon he wasn't being lazy, just a communication/position issue, once he realized what was happening he busted his to get back and block the cross.
