2024/25 Nathan Patterson

[Vaughan]

i hoped he would start as a fresh face but could see why against a strong left flank he’d start young. strange to not see him come on though when chasing the game. thought he might utilise him a la Coleman vs Spurs

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Something amiss. If he's not getting near a starting eleven under either Dyche or Moyes then put him in the shop window.

Nothing suspicious for me. Moyes went conservative. Same shape but told them to consider moving forward a bit. Experience of Young, hard work of Harrison and the faint memory of a former goalscorer in Dom. Probably hoping for a bit of bounce and Goodison magic. Gritty result and some feel good factor to return.

Caretaker managers can go bonkers. Can understand the lineup tonight. But if he really wants goals, and we’ve tried all possible combo of strikers wingers and 10’s, then a more forward think full back will have to be tried at some point to shake it up.

Better than Young -end of -

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Will get games under Moyes, 100%.

 

[NathDogg]

Should be starting, Youngs had it,.

 

[mccole]

Hoping we move to wing backs or at least move him to Right Midfield.

Close the thread please ,,,, joeys said “end of” so it must be true

That's not right, Young almost got a great assist for Villa yesterday with a perfectly weighed slide rule pass.

Think Patterson would be best suited to Moyes play but think Moyes may be a bit disappointed in his defending. Need a CB or midfielder to cover the void Patterson will leave behind (as they should)

How shabite must he be to have a big gronk of a centreback preferred at rightback. Unless we're going 3 at the back, then I'll hold my tongue...

And Yong on the bench. I just don’t think he is fancied

New Chinese signing?

 

[Number_25]

He must be absolutely turgid in training.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Remember Moyes played Leacott at left back and didn’t play Baines until injury forced his hand and we all know what happened.

Same with Coleman, amazing season at Blackpool, looked great going forward. Came back to Everton and Moyes had a way past it Phil Neville keeping him out the team, only played him right mid until Neville got injured and again his hand was forced.

He’s a manager who finds attcking options that work by chance when the circumstances are forced on him. It’s never been his default, which is cautious.

 

[Buckers]

He looks like a French cavalier.
