Lampard did and gave him a run of games and he performed fairly well and had a run of some consistency (even when Coleman had recovered from the injury, Patterson was still being picked). But then he got injured and Coleman came in for him and then Coleman was playing well and is also the club captain so rightly wasn’t being dropped.
Dyche doesn’t seem to fancy him no, but Dyche didn’t fancy Mina either until Keane gave him no choice but to drop him. He didn’t fancy Mykolenko either who since he has had a run of games has improved remarkably and cut out a lot of the mistakes he was making.
I don’t think he has been any worse in his recent performances than Young has been recently. Yet he will also still improve.
