scotlad Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 17 hours ago, theabsentee said: Great to hear, sounds like Sociedad are managing his fitness well, not pushing him to play 90 mins & risk another potential set back. Patterson isn't even getting a few minutes these days, Dyche still kept a centre back playing at right back on even though Everton where 2-0 down at half time. Some Everton fans really not happy about his lack of chances.This situation really can't be good for the lads confidence. There must be more to Patterson's situation than meets the eye. From being overlooked in favour of a centre-half playing out of position to now not even be getting a few minutes off the bench almost defies logic.

scotlad Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Robbo starts on the bench against Man City; Joe Gomez preferred to him. Jeezo, what is it with Liverpudlian football teams playing centre-halves at full-back ahead of Scots full-backs?? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Salah is also on the bench so it could just be tactical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctonjock Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Think Robbo will be brought on at half time . Man city targeting the left back area all the time Edited March 10 by noctonjock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Was Gilmour just dropped today for Brighton? His 2 match ban was surely served before todays game. Against Wolves in the cup then Fulham in the league. Or was it a 3 match ban? 🤔 Just did some research and apparently it's a 3 match ban if it's considered violent conduct? 🙄 Edited March 10 by todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syecosse Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Injurys for Mcgregor and Jack seem like they have benefitted a couple of Scottish youngsters Daniel Kelly of Celtic and Cole Mckinnon Rangers getting run outs and seem to be doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He trains, plays and travels with Livramento and no doubt knows exactly what Livramento wants through his time with him.including who he wants to represent internationally.

BryanBlessed Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I hope we can rule all these players out. They all clearly want to play for England and that's fine. It's not as if we haven't qualified for the Euros and they wouldn't be playing in an international tournament either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clarke has always said, the ball is in their court to pick the phone up and declare that they want to play for us - not vice versa in us chasing them. Personally I never anticipated any of those eligible Newcastle players being in the squad for this summer for either us or England.

Dyche plays a back 4 and clearly doesn't trust Patterson to play right back in a 4. Hopefully either Dyche gets the sack or Patterson gets a move in the summer as I can't see anything changing as long as they're both at the club.

Patterson hasn't done anything to deserve being dropped though, that I can think of. I'm biased but the boy who's replaced him at RB looks like a CB playing out of position.

It’s different if Everton were getting results after dropping him but they are not. They haven’t won a single game since he was benched.

ger intae them Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 It’s clear Dyche doesn’t trust Patterson. Like gilmour to an extent, he should fight for his spot otherwise big backward move…… but got to also consider possibilty of dyche getting binned beforehand?

GHfaeGTA Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 6 minutes ago, ProudScot said: Squad announced and it’s just everyone youd expect 4 keepers and 6 centre halves (and that doesn’t include Tierney). Is that really necessary? Can we not find some forwards from somewhere , even the U21s to at least have a look at them eg Conway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
