Bizarre that Moyes praised him and then dropped him. I think he should start in home games where we need to be taking the initiative a bit more, either as right back or right wing back.
Hes done the same with many players.
Nonsensical that Patterson has been dropped essentially for Keane to play at centre back.
No point to even try to second guess
Moyes at this point. Its so exhausting.
Wrong. Patterson started the first 8 games of 22/23. Coleman was on bench for 7 of them. He only came back into team as Patto got an injury. (Actually had one of the best defences in the league to that point).
As I said. Lampard played him at the start of that season despite Coleman being available.
But that’s been gone over plenty of times, so make up what you want as you will anyway.
Without his injuries things may have been so different.
Lampard praised Coleman but tried to get Patterson up and running.
People seem eager to slate players who arent given a run of games and praise those who dont seem to need the regular minutes.
Doesnt seem fair to me after all if a player is going to be first choice they'll get regular minutes.
