Scotland manager Steve Clarke has admitted that Nathan Patterson’s form has maybe dipped because he has not featured regularly for Everton.
manager Steve Clarke has suggested that Nathan Patterson’s form has suffered because he has not featured regularly for Everton in the Premier League in England this year.
The 6ft tall 22-year-old, who started in the matches against the Netherlands and Northern Ireland because Aaron Hickey of Brentford is sidelined with a hamstring injury and has not played since October, has enjoyed some outstanding games in a dark blue jersey in the past.However, the 21-times capped defender has not featured for his Goodison Park club since January and it showed at times during a desperately disappointing international double header.
“But he is a young player who we know will be part of what we are trying to do in the future. He will learn.”Meanwhile, Clarke has insisted that he was nonplussed about Scotland being booed by their own supporters at half-time and full-time in the Northern Ireland game – but acknowledged the feelgood factor from their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign was not going to last forever.
