The Patterson thread is a lot nicer lately too, I'm unsure why
See you'll not find anything close to that level of nastiness to describe an Everton player in the Patterson thread compared to the abuse Seamus got in here. It waa balanced, polite criticism at most.
Actually I'd argue it wasn't even "criticism" for me. I think the kid is young and very raw. I said he sometimes makes mistakes like you'd expect for a young player. And I thought we'd paid over the odds for such a prospect when what we need is someone match ready. That's all I've ever said.
Assuming he stays he needs to be off to a Championship team for a season to learn the game. Bring in a starting right back over the summer and keep Coleman on for one more season as back-up.
Then in the summer after next Seamus retires and, if good enough, Patterson comes back to challenge for the position.
