that makes it sound like its undeserved criticism him, its not. He had some really good games at right back a couple of seasons ago, but generally as a modern day midfielder. You either need to be quick / athletic, or high skilled and capable of passing and ball retention. He is neither
He has no particular strong attribute, certainly we've not see the kind of performances he had in the championship for Forest where he got goals and assists.

he isnt patterson bad, he's a good versatile squad player, but like half a dozen of them starting tonight, we'll struggle if he is starting evert week this season
