Not watching the game but seems he’s playing as one of the back three according to sky app.
Didn’t think he’d have the positional sense to play it.

BBC Sport has him on the right of the back three. Wasn't he supposed to be a right back when he joined City?
yes, but Warnock decided that he couldn't play there and made him into a strangely effective attacking midfielder, then a strikerOriginally Posted by RichardM
I always thought be was made to play infront of the back 4 but the few times he tried he looked lost. Certainly had the attributes to play it.
He could do a job for us.
What attributes are those?
Fence painting ?
Face painting ..
Car park attendant ..
Have I missed anything ?
I like players like Patterson
Strong, no messing about
Can play in different positions
One of quite a number of players we are missing behind the scenes as much, if not more than on the pitch.
Never seen him as a cb but has the physical attributes for it.
I loved him upfront for us, when the guy you sign as rb is your no.1 striker and scoring goals in the PL it's some level of banter.
Very versatile player but like many similar players then struggles at times due to not owning one position that he can master.
He played every position on the pitch besides centre back and goalie. Never complained. Gave 100% every single game.
I loved him, one of my favourite city players, but to me doesn't have the football brain to play CB.
Strong, good engine, good in the air, gets stuck in. Obviously not the complete midfielder we dream of but I felt he could have made that position his own with some training.
Callum Paterson is a completely different footballer in the minds of some people on here than he is in real life.
Never complained, apart from when he threw a strop after being substituted.
Surely a reality check is in order. He played 27 times in our PL season and was on the losing side 16 times. He only scored 4 goals. The standard play was a punt from Etheridge where Callum would flick on to the opposition and we'd huff and puff to get the ball back which usually happened after they'd scored. Then rinse and repeat. Someone should have organised an intervention when Warnock said 'ya know what? Let's play Patto oop front, I reckon 'e could do a right job for us!'

BTW, he only had 8 shots on target and 1 assist during our PL season.
Patterson is EXACTLY the type of player we need given the points we have
Don’t think there’s any need to slate him.
He knew his limitations. So did we.
Didn’t stop him buying god knows how many free kicks (which we made the most of quite a few times)
Often got the first balls to which others did pick up on
Often riled defenders into mistakes just by being a nuisance
He was shit at times, technically awful and wasn’t brilliant at one specific position but I’m glad he was here and he did more to add to a limited team than detract to it.
He’s been one of my favourite players for a decade.
I was slating Warnock actually for picking him as a CF. The other stuff was just stats (apart from the Etheridge to Callum part which was also a critique of Warnock). However, my view is that he was a contributor to the reasons we were a limited team and didn't add anything positive. But again, that's down to Warnock.
I'm glad he was one of your favourite players. Nothing I say should change that, nor do I want to.
No , thats exactly why we are here . I would rather watch the youngsters try to play football.
Hit and hope football is dead. Blood and guts is dead.
Watch us play pretty football in league Two
Get points on the board first then we can worry
Can't remember what his passing and composure was like, how does he fit into a team that doesn't hoof it up field to him?
We weren't getting any points on the board. We were losing while hoofing it.
Some people
Perfect lower league player.
