And Holgate is?

Must be a massive dent to the lads confidence to be put behind Holgate and Godfrey. Especially since one had an absolutely shocking game and the other got a daft red card
I dont think he is brilliant but I dont understand how he is not the best available option right now. I think the manager has got it totally wrong and is falling into the old trap of thinking experience is all that matters.

....if he’s of the right mind, he’s got a massive point to prove.
Yes but it doesn't really matter if the manager is going to refuse to give him an opportunity.

Holgate is 26 and has been with Everton since 2015 playing 124 games for the club in that time
He was here and getting games last season when we weren't that far from the drop
Patterson is 21, has been with Everton since last year/2022 and has only played 15 times for the club in total

Holgate has a bit of experience of putting us in a relegation scrap. We should be learning our lesson.
Manager doesn’t seem to like him or maybe thinks he’s not “PL ready” - seems to put a lot of emphasis on that.

It’s the biggest myth going. Okay Patterson has to do quite a bit more defensively but if he’s going to be overlooked based on his defensive capabilities then those being selected have to absolutely solid in that department. Unfortunately holgate and Godfrey are on a par with him at best and neither can lace his boots in an attacking sense

I'm not sure the manager is either tbh.

Whether or not it’s true, I’m not sure, but he’s chosen instead to play players out of position who are proven not to be pl standard. Just makes him look a bit of a tit tbh.
A centre back. Which is exactly why every negative manager we have had has ended up playing Godfrey/holgate there.
Last two we’ve definitely been targeted down that side, with joy fir the opposition mate.

Patterson is all over the place tactically. I think Holgate played well today. His lack of match sharpness cost him with the red but he was part of a defence that in reality didn't look like conceding to an in form team today
He got shredded by Ayes about 50 times
I don’t think it’s dyche being hung up on experience, I’d guess it’s more likely that he doesn’t believe Patterson is capable of following his instructions. I said the same last year, I know an ex Everton player who always said the one thing moyes valued above anything else was trusting that you could be trusted to do the job you were given. Lampard didn’t put Patterson in last season and now dyche isn’t either. The logical conclusion is that they’re not confident he can do the job, but I see we’re determined to make out like they’ve decided to leave out prime Cafu instead.
