2025/26 Nathan Patterson

[mahermi1]

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.



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.

I do agree with Branthwaite now fit our fourth choice centre back should be nowhere near the team.

Hope he plays and has a great game tonight.

All of it, you've got absolutely no idea of what's gone on behind the scenes. The more likely scenario is Moyes wouldn't let him go this window, as even though he clearly doesn't fancy him as first choice he can see they were dreadfully short in the full back areas. And therefore were a couple of injuries away from needing him (as has happened recently).

But you just keep peddling your line that Patterson is happy sitting on the bench taking the money.

Take it up with the Bobble:

"Nathan Patterson is to stay at Everton after interest from numerous clubs including Genoa and Wolves. The 24 year-old is more than settled at the club after a run of impressive performances, Patterson is keen for minutes in a bid to make the Scotland World Cup squad."​

 

[Nymzee]

We were told by the media and ITKs that clubs were there for him and he said "I want to fight for minutes here".

Sorry, what part is made up?

But you said no one actually wanted him?

But you said no one actually wanted him?

...and? I just stated it was the Bobble who gave that info.

*sigh*

So how can Patterson "settle for more minutes instead of moving on" if no one was actually in for him?

Make your mind up.

...are you talking to @The Bobble ?

No, I am asking you, the man who said this:

Of course he's staying - no one's wants him.

But that's besides the point, because Patterson's comments (which were the issue) were revealed by Bobble who also stated clubs were in for him...and the reason that's a deal is because he chose 'minutes' over first team starts elsewhere.

It's not difficult to understand for...a person with average intelligence...

So you do now admit clubs were in for him even though you were adamant they weren't.

That's all we are looking for here, Lenny.

If he makes himself available for selection I hope Moyes finds a way to get him out on the pitch at some point tonight. It's a shame that he seemingly stayed with the club in the hope of getting minutes, only to find himself looking like he's being frozen out again, especially in a World Cup year, where a handful of substitute appearances between now and the end of the season might be enough to maintain his match fitness and get him a spot on the plane to America.

It's difficult to see him ousting Jake O'Brien who seems to be Moyes preferred starter in that position, and who is performing well there.

JOB defensively yes as an overlapping RB

A question mark - we all know his best position is CB & it should be alongside Bradthwaite .... Tarks & Keane were poor v Fulham ....

He's undoubtedly a better CB than a FB but, barring another injury crisis, I don't see Moyes moving him in there this season mate.

Lets see how they cope with a very fast Bournemouth side to night ..... A RB is

Essential for us overlapping & Paterson IMO has not done nothing wrong when asked to step in ....
