Only thing in this thread I agree on with you.
You've a Rangers driven agenda on this one Dave and you're giving this lad nothing.
He is not perfect but he's proving himself a good signing.
He should have scored last night but he did plenty of good things offensively and defensively to warrant keeping his place over Seamus.
I dont like the club. I make no secret of that. They are historically a very dodgy organisation. I'd prefer to do no business with them. But I judge players from anywhere on what they play like.
I refer you to Naismith's time here. He was turd to begin with and I was on his back...same as everyone. Then Roberto gave him that false nine role and he took off and then played some decent stuff, and I said so.
My view of Patterson will be guided by ability and form.
People are desperate to see a young Everton team do well. I get that. I do too. But there really is scant evidence so far to back up the reviews he's been getting.
He's a work in progress. It's just the reality of the situation...and I think most will agree too.
