I think it’s part of the tactic at the moment to have him on for 60 minutes wearing defenders down then Glatzel, who’s still getting used to the championship but showing signs of improvement to be fair, coming for last 30.

Tomlin and Bobby seem to have a good understanding too.
Pato is a presence, he works hard and although doesn't have that extra bit of quality, he seems to be quite happy playing the nuisance type of striker, unsettling the central defenders and using his frame and awkwardness to throw defenders off their game a bit, maybe allowing others the benefit of his graft.
