Solid in loss to Morocco
Patterson registered one cross (one accurate) and one tackle in Friday's 1-0 defeat versus Morocco.
Analysis: After coming off the bench in Scotland's opening match versus Haiti, Patterson worked his way into the starting XI Friday, replacing Aaron Hickey. He and the Scottish defense put up a solid performance, holding Morocco to just two shots on target. He won one duel, intercepted two passes and made two clearances on that end of the pitch. He also sent in one accurate cross at the end of the first half which resulted in one of the team's best chances in the match. After a solid performance, he's got a good chance to start the final group stage match versus Brazil on Wednesday.
Makes first league start
Patterson generated three tackles (one won), six clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: With Michael Keane (undisclosed) sidelined, Patterson made his first league start at right-back, with Jake O'Brien shifting into a central role. He recorded his first clean sheet of the season, contributing three tackles, one interception and six clearances. Patterson has struggled with injuries and missed nine games this season, and while he could be in line for another start with Everton's options depleted, the quick turnaround could see James Garner, who has played the position earlier this season, or Merlin Rohl, who filled in after Patterson was substituted, come into consideration.
