2021/22 Nathan Patterson

[laudo9]

The awareness of flick.
The pace to get forward.
The pin point cross.

I also really like how in a massive, massive game for Scotland - with nerves jangling - he made it count with a MOTM display to get them to a World Cup play-off place.

Left footed finish for opener;



He then made the assist for the second;



We don't currently have a full back capable of doing all of the above, IMO.

The lad turned 20 a few months back, just moved to the Prem - hasn't kicked a ball for Everton yet and we have people on his case already?! Wtf is that all about...

Ahh, but Div doesn't want anything to do with all that attack minded creative positivity nonsense though, he wants him moulded into a backs to the wall defender that keeps the score down against all those attack minded creative teams that Everton have to face every week!!

Then that means 2 out of 3 which is 66%.

So only one was shocking !!! Does that 2/3rds gives rise to hope ?

Weird.

Everton paid a fee which has really helped Rangers out and for that alone, you're absolutely hounding the lad.

Get a grip, dave.

I'm not really hounding him. I constantly state what he has: very good attacking ability. There's no question about that. But defenders should primarily excel at defending and I dont think it's any coincidence that 3 managers have felt he wasn't capable of adding anything to an already failing defence. That's alarming.

We all wanted a RB who was good-to-go, but to me it's looking increasingly the case we haven't got that (and rangers felt that way too as they barely used him). In that context my view is that he'll need to go on loan in the summer.

He hasn't come from a great club as far as I'm concerned. They ripped Everton off in the past and I'm very concerned they've done it again. That's why I posted so much in this thread. If he goes out and comes back a better player, I'm all for him starting games for us.

I love that it gets under your skin !!
The Trolls being trolled by a 20 year old Rangers fanatic!!
Karma's a bitch!!... Ehh? ?

I love that you've hitched your wagon to Everton because we took one of your players.

What a colonised mind-set you have; identifying with your plunderers.

Lol.

Been on here for years Div!!
So wrong again, but facts aren't your thing though are they?

A bit of patience is needed for him. Not sure what point is of writing him off when he's not played for us, purely based on fee and who we signed him from.

NO, the usual lunatic is on his case, because he came from the " EVIL CLUB "

If he`d come from any other club, he`d have a photo of him on his wall, next to one of Stalin.

Looks classy, athletic and very productive. Lots of upside so I hope the manager is brave and gets him playing soon. I hope that Dobbin gets some chances to shine as well.

All of this is predicated on EFC getting a win at Soton.

They are evil too.

I seem to remember Baines taking a while to get into the team (Lescott was the starting left back for pretty much his whole first season.

And a certain person still doesn’t like him!

 

[Debunkology]

Apart from the Newcastle game

I think that was more of a case of Newcastle not playing for a couple of weeks and having plenty of time to prepare . While Everton only had 3 days.

 

[MikeH72]

I dont see why not. A 35 year old captain and a 24 year old stand in.

We have priorities elsewhere.

If it were down to me we'd have bought Spence rather than Patterson and we wouldn't be having the debate.

This is completely incorrect.

You've literally seen him twice on the BBC in the FA Cup haven't you. Cracking scouting report.
