2024/25 Nathan Patterson

[Eggs]

Certain people (like yourself) have made your minds up about him obviously, point still stands though he needs games for the opportunity to develop, taking a possible loss of £12m on him is madness!

….players earn their game time, points are precious and you can’t give every player a number of games in the hope they’ll be the real deal.

Eggs I think injuries have stopped Nathan from getting a lot of game time, we all have our own opinions and I realise you know your football but I’d like Patterson to get a good run of games to prove one way or the other whether he is up to playing consistently in the premier league.

The irony in your weird crusade to banish Patterson back to the vastly inferior SPL is that both Rangers and Celtic would probably comfortably beat the current Everton side!

There’s a few posters in here who have had thread bans several times for the obvious reasons around the spl etc. I wouldn’t worry yourself about getting into discussions with them about him.

He has shown he has positive attributes and has put in some very good performances at times (showing he can do it). There’s needs to be consistency with those performances though which has been lacking. (Saying that, not many of our players show any consistency with performance level).

He is also young, and was even younger when being given any sort of run of games. So will be inconsistent and will make mistakes. He then gets taken out and left on the bench repeatedly if he makes a mistake. Other, older pros will make the same mistakes but be given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to keep their place. That is one of my issues with it all.

He can certainly put a ball in but we have never really seen if he can defend.

He was part of a back four with Coady etc that went on a great defensive run.

Can also point at Mitoma being shackled by him.

The lack of attacking intention from our regular left back actually frees up the right back to get forward whenever he can - Coleman demonstrated this against City. You have to assume Youngy knows his legs won't stand up to bombing up and down the wing for 90 minutes so his forays forward are limited but on boxing day Seamus showed us it's not a management instruction that fb's can't attack or overlap.

The only question left is why has Nathan Patterson not done enough to cement a place in any team he's ever been in? We can throw faux outrage at the vicious tap to the back of the head he received on a team jolly which has recieved infinitely more airtime on this forum than anywhere else it was mentioned, but Dyche is a man who now has a hell of a lot to prove to the new owners - is he a manager who can take us forwards or has he served his purpose in keeping us up? The fact he doesn't trust an attacking RB in a team struggling to create chances, even though playing him has the potential to enhance his reputation as a manager, suggests that Patterson truly just isn't good enough to be a regular in the premier league.

He was injured soon after joining and was starting under Lampard and clearly our best right back at the time.

Injuries got Coleman back into the team until he was again rightly dropped for Patterson.

….what I don’t get is the impression that Patterson is a good attacking full back. It was a terrific cross he put in for Danjuma to score but he usually disappoints when he has possession in the top third.

So far, he’s been poor in most aspects of his game and that’s the simple reason why he rarely plays.

Not a word here is remotely true.

He may well have regressed but he was levels above your idol Coleman when he played.

Coleman getting on the pitch thesedays is frightening.

Young should be moved to LB as Mykolenko is having a poor season.

Allowing Patterson to start at Right back.

He does badly then we revert back...he does as well as previously and he cements his place.

Dyche's back to the wall training routine?

 

[SJB]

A seven minute cameo and he's prime Cafu again...

 

[Thomasc]

He’s always injured.

Average at best.

A post above about him playing well against Mitoma. Can’t be the one when they beat us 4-1 at home under Lampard when Mitoma absolutely dry humped him before he got the hook.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Had son in his pocket.

We will never know because he is being wasted. Hope he is pushing to leave.

Another player we will watch develop somewhere else because of mismanagement.

Ha Ha Ha. No.

As for me wanting to 'banish' Patterson: all the managers have done that at Everton after taking one look at him. Banished him to the subs bench.

Will undoubtedly have PLENTY of suitors in January if that's the case

Lookman, Kean and Robinson didn’t but are both thriving. Takes time but we just havnt given players this.

 

[MACCA75]

We were criminal with Lookman and Kean in particular. Kean barely got a start and as soon as he left we had Rondon starting and being abysmal for months.

Lookman barely got a start either yet we now have Harrison stinking the place out every week.

I’m not sure why Patterson has been frozen out but he’s never been above mediocre for us if people are being honest.

 

[Curtis]

I hope he starts because he's due an opportunity and it will make dave incensed like al Pacino levels
