One of Gerrard's faults was constantly playing players out of position (shoehorning players) going all the way back to Ross McCrorie. Watching Kamara, Aribo and Kent play in their best position is night and day. Patterson is a right back. Surely it's a better option than Simpson though hammer93 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you logic holds up the Simpson is indeed not miles behind Goldson, I would play him in the middle and Bassey out left. Patterson can come on if Tav gets injured as Tav is still the superior player, by a fair margin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sell anyone in January for big money, I genuinely think I would not be too disappointed if it was Patterson. He is still miles behind Tav, will struggle to reach his potential whilst getting limited time with us. If we could bring in £10m from him without weakening our first team, then I think it would be a good result. Selling him for £10m now would be madness. Patterson will be our first choice right back next season imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson gets his first opportunity to play in weeks in France against Ekambi and because he is not 8/10 in that game, the Tav loyal can't wait to say I told you so. In any case, I fully expect Barisic to play LB on Saturday. JograBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disagreeing with that point, I said as much last week that he isn't even close to playing aswell as last season but his stats for assists are still heading in the right direction.....I just don't think he is anywhere close to where I want him to be defensively so far this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,648 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Don’t think it would make that much of a difference Patterson there than Barisic the now given the reduced role Gio has given the full backs in attack Wouldn't like to see it long term, still have nightmares about Flanagan costing us goals being unable to clear the ball with his left foot but for a short spell to keep Simpson as far away from the team as possible I’d be fine with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the full backs are now being encouraged to cut inside a lot more then a right footed left back has its benefits. They Gnu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
