2022/23 Nathan Patterson

[T LEAFE]

Not sure I agree there, was watching him closely today, did very well on Chilwell, if he can do that, I’m not worried.

I think he's going to be a good player

 

[blulouie]

Probably only Tarkowski better than this lad today.
Very good debut.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Can handle the ball a lot better than Coleman. Although almost every professional footballer can.

 

[roy vernon]

Solid debut, has to be his place to lose now, in my opinion.

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

Class I thought, and will only get better. Well done young man.

 

[Zatara]

….he’ll be straight back in & as a Patterson admirer I have no issues.

I’d be disappointed in Patterson if he’s not first choice by the end of the season but I don’t think he’s won his place yet. I think Coleman offers more than folk think, Patterson has to win that position. I don’t think he did that today.

Cant see what Coleman could have offered over Patterson today?

Think the boy keeps his place until he gets tired or makes an error...then swap them so he gets a rest.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Good game, hope he breathes a sigh of relief then knuckles down and makes it hard to pick Seamus.

Bit naive on some occasions. Has a bit of fire. Followed through on players that had annoyed him a couple of times, not bad enough to get pulled up. Effing and jeffing at the officials always builds affection.

 

[Hangleton]

Looks very promising. Crossing was good. Cut in well.

…I thought he was a bit safe, Zat. I think Coleman might have offered more drive. A few times Patterson played back or square & even put his own hand up in apology. He said last week that Lampard has told him to play with risk, I don’t think he did today.

I want Patterson to win his place, I don’t see that yet.

 

[Runub]

I didn’t want to laugh at that because he has been a good servant to the club but I couldn’t help myself

 

[Clarky cat]

He's not ready for this level

Another Celtic fan eh? Reign it in mate, he was absolutely fine today and will get better.

 

[Willow18]

Worried with the double defender injury today we go to a back 4 and Coleman comes straight back in

 

[Connor]

Very good. Possibly the biggest positive from today

 

[ArtetaMoney]

So good not seeing Coleman stink the gaff out, hope this lad never gets injured.

Here's what Patterson excells at: when a ball pops loosley out from the opposition back four he is always on his toes anticipating that and looking to get an interception and he takes the threat to them in their final third.

However, for someopne who plays so high up the pitch he is pretty timid trying to take on the opposition LB. He turns back or looks sideways to release the ball. I dont know why that is because he surely has the tools to do be more bold, but he's pretty conservative for me when he has to take the fight to go one to one. He has to be a lot braver than that. Even an ageing Coleman will still drive at a defence.

Of course his biggest drawback is his defensive work which remains awful.
