Very bold shout. Based on what? Just your opinion?

Or Preston in the cup
How many good keepers is there in the division?

Yes - I also think if there was a poll amongst players, pros, ex pros, commentators, managers people who know and understand the game that he would be considered one of the best. Obviously just in my opinion.
Don't mind Patto, but he needs to come out more for the ball and he's got to be more commanding. Seems a bit soft at times and not willing to absolutely clatter anyone in his way to get the ball.
His kicking leaves a lot to be desired, which is made worse when having defenders starting positions deep in his box. Those defenders get ignored, the ball gets launched straight back to the opposition, which puts us on the back foot due to players already starting from deep positions and not getting out quick enough.
The amount of times we invited Leeds to pile the pressure us with their recycling of Patto's aimless kicks was just constant.

He ranks fairly average on most metrics statistically, which would suggest he's not one of the best.

Agree...so why is Le Fee not getting the stick that Patterson is getting?
His kicking and distribution is very poor. He also needs to get the ball out quicker. It’s a great concern that Patto is not improving this season

His save per centage is 8th in the division, and shot stopping is his best quality. He aint up there with the best in the division. He's not up there with Trafford (wanker) Cooper or Johansson.

Please don't say you want a L1 keeper (Moore) starting instead of Patterson?
He was really poor for Coventry's 1st goal (2-2) and the Stoke performance was tragic...his kicking is...lets not talk about it.

For me I have seen massive improvement in several young players this season.
As for Patto
Just the same.
Great shot stopper but no way near Premier League standard IMO.
As for Patto
Just the same.- Lacks a vocal presence so defenders often go for the same ball, causing a collision and dropping to attacker.
- Gets rooted to his line when balls crossed into 6 yard box, should be collecting that or punching with gusto.
- His distribution is getting worse this season, throws out to slowley and when he kicks rarely finds a player.
Great shot stopper but no way near Premier League standard IMO.

Hope the new goalie coach can help him improve some of his weaknesses. Would be nice to see changes in his way of dealing with crosses into the 6 yard box.For me I have seen massive improvement in several young players this season.

Tbf, Le Fee is a central midfielder, playing on the left wing, being asked to defend a lot more than he should be (due to the pressure we invited on us) Patterson is a goalkeeper being asked to carry out a basic goalkeeping duty

I think you’re missing the part it wa moving at about 100mph you need to stop watching things in slow motion it looks hell of a lot easier than real time

It’s blatantly obvious to tell who has or has not played the game at any level other than a park kick about or down the community centre’s 5-a-side leagues.

Exactly too many armchair critics
Trafford has the luxury of an excellent defensive screen
Time after time we conceded because of our inability to clear our area .Some of which is due to poor distribution from Patto and those defending the area

The central defender a few yards behind him had no bother reading the cross, can't imagine it had slowed down that much before he headed it into an empty net.
