2023/24 Nathan Patterson

[coleman=quality]

Amazing touch from Grealish and he make the quick smart decision to take a booking for the team. What planet do you live on, cos I'm getting off it if we're on the same one.

Patterson wasn’t sure whether to get in front or jockey but that wasn’t what I meant by it in general he does it in most games. Then he was on a yellow and thought he might of got brought off, glad he didn’t and got the minutes and did well.

Poor 1st half, did really well 2nd.

Plus I hope that was a boost to his confidence that he kept his place tonight.

 

[JohnRoss23]

thought he did well tonight and deserves MOTM shouts. Always shows great effort even when it doesn’t look the most graceful. Still makes me nervous at times but that’s typical for a lad like himself. I do think it would benefit having Coleman back but Patterson is proving why he has lots of potential and can get the job done.

Both fullbacks were very good tonight. I just have this feeling that it might be time to give Patterson a run of games, I'm still not completely convinced by him, but, I think he is showing a decent steady improvement, in any case he is far superior at fullback to Young.

Lol.

Motm.

We got beat at home 3-1.

He fails to get out to Foden for the first and that hands them the momentum.

He should've learned a lot from that tonight and wont get done so easily against Grealish again.

I was pleased that when he was on the yellow card, he defended well against Grealish but didn’t at all dive in or go to ground, kept his head well and stayed on his feel. Grealiah only having the opportunity for one attempt at a dive is excellent defending.

Not a chance you can blame that on him. There was 2 city players next to him, he steps off and they are played through. While Beto was stood picking up no one.

It was strange that he followed him across the back four so he was massively out of position then backed off and gave him so much space for the shot.

Correct. Actually think some of our fans are watching a different game. Backed off Grealish too many times, no where near where he needs to be

If he commits himself to get out and charge that shot down he has to get there.

Same echo of post Dave - voted MOTM v the world champions FGS

Presumably you have also been in the Ashley Young threads berating Ashley about his “indecisiveness” in the past for the frequent yellows he was picking up for the exact same fouls? (experienced, seasoned professional bookings) some of which he was getting a lot earlier in games than Nathan’s today?
He actually played better after the booking, might of focused him but only he knows. I know he was absolutely fine again and deserves to keep playing, absolutely excellent against Grealish who got in behind him because of a magnificent, pin point pass by (can’t remember). Anyone who has played the game will realise just how good the ball and then the touch were, players get done, every single player does at this level. What I did like was his booking, mere seconds afterwards by taking Grealish, who was in and away running at out defence by taking him out of the game did exactly what he should have, it’s part of the game and every team will do it.

@coleman=quality

well in again Nathan, keep it up
