The Everton Forum • Re: Patterson Future
Doubt there’s many fans who don’t want to see him at right back for the rest of the season.Probably as much my Scottish bias as anything else but I'm a bit disappointed that he's not been given more time now that he's fit. Said it the other day but he's been "not great, not terrible" but we do look better when he's there rather than JOB. Even when he came on on Saturday he got himself forward a couple of times and got crosses in. I could see the point if JOB was doing a great job (sorry about that) at RB but he isn't really, I would say he was any better that you don't at least give the proper RB the nod in front of him.
I thought he was unlucky to be be subbed off against Leeds and unlucky not to start against Brighton but maybe he was just needing a bit a rest after playing quite a lot after a long lay off but I'd have given him the remainder of the season to see how he gets on and re address it in the summer. He clearly loves it here, you could see that with the way he celebrated with Beto when he scored but if he can't get a run of games now then he needs to get himself a move in the summer if not today.
It’s the simple things like knowing what angle to be at when receiving the ball that make a huge difference to us going forward.
