2023/24 Nathan Patterson

[Chrismac]

A 22 year old lad that cost us what, £12m? isn't the best right back in the league, surprise surprise.
The lad isn't allowed to make mistakes without each one being highlighted, as if some don't want to give him a chance to develop and succeed.
A shame when the club and fans seem to be all pointing in the same direction.

People like this, and ironically davek as he's even worse, would've had absolutely no time for the development of Coleman when he first came in, ironically, as he started quite slowly and was quite error prone.

20 year old comes in, isn't babysat and shielded/doubled like Young is, does well, should've had an assist, clean sheet defensively - reaction is naturally to say he's doing crap and not good enough for some reason. Makes sense.

Moyes also protected him in a way when he introduced him to the first team, moving him into wide midfield in front of Hibbert who could cover for any mistakes he made. Some of us were screaming for Seamus to get his chance at right back coz Hibbert was so poor on the ball, but Moyes clearly wanted him to get used to the league in a position where a mistake here and there wouldn't put us in immediate danger. Turned out quite well in the end.

Yeah, it did, shame we have no patience for a clearly promising and developing youngster now and can only apparently like old people on their last legs as they famously have never made a single mistake ever, especially in the last few seasons.

The Orange Grinch will be along any time soon, right after he’s finished setting fire to his Kier Starmer photos.

We do. It’s only 2 or 3 who dont

 

[Marius57]

What a player. Coming into a massively changed back line as the least experienced and kept a clean sheet. Good lad.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Lad worries me in defense. Going forward he is okay, but I would like to see us improve upon him given the age of Coleman and Young.

Genuinely don’t have time to wait and see on if he will progress as he ages.

What does this actually mean? Are you terminally ill?

[Mikey O]

That goes for the whole squad

I'd say that Pickford, Tarks, Branthwaite, Doucs and McNeil are on the money right now, with Onana, Myko and Garner being close. Need to see more from Young/Patterson, Harrison, DCL (a goal or two would make all the difference).

 

[micknick]

Thought he played pretty well over all. A couple of mistakes that were of his own making that felt due to a lack of experience rather than ability IMO.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Brilliant today

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

A couple of shaky moments in the first half but nothing as dramatic as Hinchliffe was making out on commentary. Unlucky not to get an assist with a great ball into DCL, and had a solid second half.

Andy Hinchcliffe really finds it hard to say anything positive about Everton.
He sounds an inbred RS fan at my work.

 

[StDomingosGringo]

Think he’s going fine & would have played more this season if we didn’t already have Myko & Branthwaite developing in the back line.

With Myko now looking like he’s reached a new level consistently, Branthwaite looking so composed already, Tarks in dad mode & Harrison in front it’s set up for Patterson to prove he’s ready to push on too.

 

[allen]

Needs minutes. He’s at least as good as Myko was last season, and he’s come on so much with regular PL footy.

 

[Joey66]

"Some people in this thread need to clear their throats and offer up an apology."

@davek were are you - talk us through Patterson & that cross onto DCLs head with a fantastic save that went out for a corner leading to our first goal -another great game from him offensively & defensively
