2021/22 Nathan Patterson

[Toffeelover]

Nkounkou was loaned to get playing experience and add to his game. That's ok to do (and we should be doing exactly that with Patterson) but it's come back to haunt us a bit that decision given the Digne sale and Mykolenko not hitting the ground running.

Thank you FSW.

Thank you FSW.

Digne was rubbish before he went, so we didn't lose anything, we just didn't gain anything.

I mean we were playing Boreham Wood of the Vanarama National League, I don’t think they were gonna “target” our right back regardless.

Someone skins him once and he would have been.

Kenny got an assist,should have had another and made a good last ditch challenge so I think he justified the manager's decision.

It's a tough one for Patterson to take but he's got years ahead of him with an average Kenny and declining Coleman to compete with. If he keeps working the shirt will be his soon enough.

Take it from me mate, Patterson hasn't got a defensive game and his awareness of danger will get Everton into trouble if he were played in a flat back four.

He's got to get out for a loan to find a defensive game.

Mykolenko is purely down to stamina and getting up to PL speed.

And the fact that he didn't come from Rangers?

With the two lads i find it hard to judge as January signings is often a poor time to procure defensive signings, i like Mykolenko because i see him as a bit of a snide, i like that it shows, care, resilience and an ability to improve id support that. Hel take one for the team. Remember Utd fans loosing their loads, when Vidic and Evra came in, in a Jan window and they looked gash for the first six months, i think its a tough gig for defenders coming in mid season and just slotting in, especially in a new league. Patterson is a kid, Mykolenko - we know about what adversities he may be going through. While to be fair we've had 3 managers in 8 weeks. So id give the lads six months grace and preseason.

Thought that as well earlier on left full, full backs with Frankly are going to be key and i wouldn't be surprised to see a new left back, have we given up on the French kid on loan in Belgium?

All three of the boys, Mykolenko, Patterson and Branthwaite will likely need a preseason with Lampard. He'll know from his time at Derby and Chelsea how to bring them through into the team.

The right side now looks ideal really with Patterson and Gordon.

I hope thats proven to be the way forward next season.

Did he give the ball away?

Yes, at least twice.

 

[Nymzee]

Yes, at least twice.

2 times gives the ball away in 45 minutes, such a careless player

You think that goes unpunished, as a full back, against premier league opposition?

Please find a PL full-back that doesn't give the ball away at least once in a game.

Please.

 

[MACCA75]

Personally thought he showed more in 45 minutes than Mykolenko has so far..

 

[Paul Rideout]

Please find a PL full-back that doesn't give the ball away at least once in a game.

Please.

Phil Neville... has found one, he's pointing to them - can't see who it is though, they're off screen.

 

[laudo9]

Please find a PL full-back that doesn't give the ball away at least once in a game.

Please.

Or...
Please find an young talented exciting full-back that has the balls and ability to go forward and link up with the midfield and strikers in order to create chances and keep the opposition on the back foot rather than vice-versa!... Oh wait a minute!!!!

Against PL players... Patterson looked careless vs conference players. He is an exciting player but showed nothing to signal that he is near this level yet. In his defense, nobody else did either.

Why does who you're playing against affect missed passes.

Frank Lampard knows when a young player is ready to step up and he's made it pretty clear Patterson isn't ready yet. Don't get the big obsession myself.
