Feel like I watched a different game if he won MoTM. Grealish had the beating of him at will

We were 1-0 up at half-time - did you forget that ? Grealish just hugged the touchline ....

We got beat 3-1 at home and you're worried about MOTM performances.

Whether we win lose or draw someone gets MOTM, just so happens its him after he had a decentl game.

How'd the game finish Joey? Do we get extra points for half times?

We got beat as we expected we would ..... but the debate on a right back who ended up as our MOTM is laughable -

Well, I presume the person posting it wouldn't like or agree with it, but that's not the point. What we're talking about her is potentially unjustified criticism.

I'll refer back to when you said about him being a player, "...some people rate highly and some don't?", when I talk about Harrison as an analogy.

If you look on here, I've not been sold by him: I thought he'd done some things well, and admittedly he's had Young behind him, but I've questioned his output.

In layman's terms, I haven't really rated him across his time here. However, others may disagree based on their perspective, and that's part of football.

Still, I'm objective (and magnanimous) enough to acknowledge and say he played well yesterday; he's had some other good performances for us too.

My issue is that there are some people who criticise Patterson, and are arguably so subjective that they will not acknowledge when he plays well.

It's preconceived bias. So I'd say there are some people on here who, on the balance of probability, do have ulterior motives, perhaps even nefarious ones.

So let's be clear: everyone has their right to an opinion, however if those opinions appear clearly wayward and in absence of evidence, people will question it.

People who criticise Patterson for yesterday's performance will bring attention to themselves, and as the saying goes... if that hat fits.

Flip that on it's head - there's equally a group of posters who defend his performances at all costs. They're the ones screaming "bigot" at anyone who criticises him. They're the ones with ulterior motives imo.

We only defend him as some idiots attack him as being rubbish - @davek the main culprit ....

Expected us to win 4-0 did you? A draw was the hope I expected - we did okish - first half excellent - 2nd half tired & errors no major ones from our right back OK -

Also nice to see you admit he was MOTM Dave ....

I dont see how it's laughable or how the half time or full time result Impacts a MOTM award. He played ok but Grealish skipped past him every time. Im not even saying it as an assesment of his ability, far better players than Patterson will get roasted by grealish.

Not one goal came down his side ......

 

[blulouie]

McNeil went out to double the wide player, which probably wasn't necessary. Instead of Garner helping Patterson, he pointed.

Patterson did the right thing by dropping to the player closest to goal.

I am glad that we finally stopped letting teams have odd man situations on short corners, was a nice change. This one didn't work for us however, someone botched it (either McNeil for doubling or Garner for not helping).

McNeil getting sucked to the ball was the main problem , it left a gap that players like Foden prey on.
Other players tried to cover that space left by McNeil but Foden is far to cute & quick.

Nathan Patterson – 7/10

Patterson delivered one of his best performances of the season as he coped well with Jack Grealish, and showed plenty of promising signs against tough opposition.

Best player in a blue shirt last night. Telling its the same old posters who are the only ones saying otherwise, like it pains them to give the lad any sort of credit. Very sad individuals.

Ashley Young has IMO cost us 9 points this season - yet Dyche should have blooded this lad ....

You're using an opinion that 7/10 is one of his best performance from a season where he's played quite a number of matches to defend him from criticism?
