2021/22 Nathan Patterson

[Coggy]

Never seen Patterson play in the flesh until today.
He did really well. He was a lot bigger / more physical than I expected him to be. Good motor on him , and had a number of assists in the build up to goals. Let's hope that he keeps developing.

Has a cross on him the lad.

How is a club thats only existed for what - 10 years (?) considered the number 1 club in Scotland?

PM @Cork Evertonian he will happily explain it to you.
* Footnote, they are not considered the number 1 club in Scotland.

I don’t see us signing another right back till next summer when Coleman’s contract expires. Coleman can fill in a back 4 but can’t play a wing back, but if Patterson is injured/suspended I’d guess Lampard will play iwobi wing back when necessary.

Amid reports of an exit Patterson kept his focus on the league with the big kick-off just two weeks away. He told club TV:

"It was good to get more minutes under the belt. It's good for the legs and good for the start of the season, and I'm looking forward to it.”

"It's obviously my aim to try and provide for the team, and obviously get forward for the team. I got two (assists) today so I am delighted with that.”

“The fans always come out for the away games and it was a great support once again. No surprise."

Modern day full back David...modern day.

“That’s my aim, to slidey people”

Nice to see Dave’s gone full Dave yet again. His doctor must worry about the blood pressure constantly.

Thought the manager really helped him out today by playing Godfrey and then Holgate at right centre back. Both of them pushed really wide, almost playing right back at times to allow Patterson to stay high and take the pressure off him defensively. Smart tactics at last, nice to see that he quickly learned from the Minnesota game.

The wide centre halves in this formation are meant to be wide. It wasn’t to help anyone that’s just literally how it’s meant to be played. We only thing it’s different because we normally balls it up.

Yeah I understand your point here but I still think it was a deliberate ploy. I don't remember tarkowski hitting the left hand touch line much at least. Also Godfrey playing on the right side of defence when he's generally played left side makes me think it was an attempt to shore up a weakness too.

Godfrey’s only played left side because none of our other defenders can.

Played really well today, especially going forward. Very happy for him to be in our defense at the start of the season

"Dave, is this "Nathan" in the room with us right now?"

 

[Toff33Blues99]

A very good performance from him today. 2 great assists, we never have reason to play that useless over the hill guy ever again

 

[GoSoccerToffees]

A very good performance from him today. 2 great assists, we never have reason to play that loyal club legend, who gave everything every season he played for us.

Fixed.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Fixed.

I feel sick
