I think Nate-Dogg is being picked on for his early season appearances last season, when despite the 'gaffer' telling him to play tight to Tarks, he kept drifting wide to mark his man (Yes, he got skinned what... twice?) but he certainly stopped a lot of cross attempts and actually did what a defender is meant to do, and when he got in trouble, it was because Tarks was hugging his position (correctly mind) which made Nate look like a bad 'defender' which he isn't.
The other thing that probably gave the 'Gaffer' the bum-rush, was Nate's ability to actually get past the halfway line, and actually beat a player and cross the ball! This obviously showed up an obviously unfit Jackie H, who was in my very irrational opinion, never fully recovered from his injury, was told not to play his natural game, and stuck on the wrong wing. Notice how few (nearly never) times him and Dwight switch wings.... BUT Harrison is a Gaffer fave and you can't do that! Personally, I think Patterson and Harrison together would work for this season.
C'mon Nate-Dogg get fit, and shove your obvious potential up the 'Gaffer's' nose...
If Patterson is the answer then we're really asking the wrong question.
Lacks just about every attribute you need in a PL full back: positional sense, urgency, focus, stamina to get up and down the pitch.
Only saving grace is that he can swing a cross into the box with accuracy ......one time in every 4 games or so.
He's what we've got and I'd trust him more than Roman just now.
He has urgency, focus. stamina and the ability to 'Cafu' his wing; I do agree though, he does need to work on his positional sense... However, to do that he needs a run of games. Christ on a bike, he has had Cole to help him, and Seamus with Young now. He's young, underplayed and needs games or a good loan in the Championship at Christmas if we can still rely on Statler and Waldorf till the EoS.

Needs to retire if he's not starting next game he's fully fit. Actually no, just leave Everton because once you've been assaulted by your manager and unfairly pushed way down the pecking order so much so that he'd rather older play the 4th choice center half at right back ahead of you, you know you aren't getting a fair crack of the whip at the club.

Doesn’t need to leave, just needs to outlast Dyche and at this point, that might not be too long.
Probably 4th choice right back as it stands now. He needs a move.

Forgot all about him and dyche
If you've ever watched him play you'll know that's not a quality he possesses.

Poor kid won’t get a kick when he’s fit anyway whilst SD is in charge.

Might get a smack on the head if we take a week off in Portugal for some team building.
Any update on the injury?
We could do with him back in the squad.
Even if Coleman and Young are preferred - its becoming abundantly evident the two lads are going to struggle to give us 90 mins and Nathan you'd hope would take an opportunity to stake a claim at this stage if he was given mins most games.

Patterson should be in the box seat for rb when he’s back fit, with dico as backup.
Coleman should have been allowed to pack in years ago, but the club have neglected to handle that, and Young shouldn’t even be in the conversation. Insane.
That said, Young starts at Villa with our current manager, even if Patterson or Dixon are fit.
