Nathan Patterson has explained why he believes Everton is a different club with Frank Lampard at the helm compared to when he signed under Rafa Benitez. Even though Everton sit just a point above the relegation zone after 15 games, with Wolves at home up next on Boxing Day, Patterson admits the mood in the camp couldn’t be any more different from when he arrived just under 12 months ago.
Nathan Patterson said: “It was difficult for me at the start. I had to adapt to two managers quickly while still settling in. We were in a tough place when I arrived so I understand why the manager didn’t want to throw in a young guy who’d never played before in the Premier League. This is a great club and everyone is together now. The feeling in the dressing-room is a lot better than last season when we were in a tough situation. We’ve got fresh faces in and the squad is a lot stronger. I want to play as much as I can this season, get assists and maybe some goals as well. I’ve never had a full season of playing at Rangers or Everton so, if I can stay fit, I want to get as many minutes and starts as possible. I’m ambitious. I want to play at the top level. It’s every boy’s dream to play in the Champions League one day. Everyone wants to be involved in European football. And if I do well at Everton, I believe we can get up the table.”
