Nathan Patterson

Patterson attacks the space in behind the way a winger does, taking the ball on the run and covering huge stretches of grass before anybody thinks to track him. The part of his game that gets overlooked is the defending, because he presses high up the pitch as aggressively as any full back in the division and recovers quickly enough to make the tackle after being beaten.

The frustration arrives once he reaches the byline, because the cross that follows the run is the least reliable moment of the whole sequence. Everton work him into positions that ought to produce something and then watch the ball sail towards the far corner of the penalty area. Availability is the other long running argument, given how much of his career has been spent recovering from ankle problems rather than playing.
