2023/24 Nathan Patterson

[toffeeblue9]

That's unfair. Patterson has been poor since he arrived other than one game: the derby.

No one is capable of persuading a lot of other people against their own judgment that Patterson is not a PL player. He palpably isn't and that's why you see this reaction.

He was poor yesterday, but he very clearly hasn't only had one good game here

 

[Moomin]

Awesome, against U21 teams that don’t attack. Heard he played RM yesterday and didn’t look comfortable there.

He looked more comfortable than Patterson.

For the time being I would go with Garner at rightback.

Who plays in midfield then (I can keep going with this)

Same midfield but Danjuma on the right wing and Garner at rightback.

What, so Maupay up front

The same midfield

Garner played wide right yesterday, so bring in Danjuma (or Gray if he is still an Everton player)

I'd rather DCL or a new striker instead of him.

I'd rather DCL or a new striker instead of him.

But we ain’t got either of them

 

[ToffeeTim]

See above

Any of the other options, Cannon, Danjuma with someone else wide right, Chermiti, use DCL off the bench etc

Just not Maupay because he's less effective as a striker in this system than Michael Keane would be

 

[ToffeeTim]

But we ain’t got either of them

We need one before next week, and we need Dyche to actually be flexible in using new players right away. None of this Dyche fit nonsense so he can prefer his favourites.

He played a load of games last season where his mistakes were THE reason we lost points.

This season he's started off with another mistake that's lost us an easy point there for the taking.

I really dont think the burden of responsibility lies with me or any other critic of this player, it rests with those defending him against the evidence of his PL appearances so far.

There is absolutely no way he is Coleman's quality even now when Seamus is almost 35 years of age.

Garner is there to play in the meantime while Coleman gets his fitness. We have to take that option because we cant afford to have Patterson in there.

 

[Moomin]

But we ain’t got either of them

Tom Cannon or the new lad from Sporting will do.

Well he ain’t playing Cannon or Chermiti, Dom isn’t fit and if Danjuma is up front who’s wide right because he won’t play Gray.

It’s all well and good given scenarios but only when they’re realistic. I’ve just categorically proven why we can’t loan Patterson out and why Garner shouldn’t be a right back (he’s not even remotely fast enough for that anyway).

Yeh Dyche isn’t playing them. Next.
