Paterson was the top scorer last season, Bobby Reid knocked in around 20 goals. If you played Paterson in that CAM position again where he can win knock downs to Reid and arrive late in the box. While Reids only job would be to linger on that back line and use his pace to break through.
For me the patience with Zohore is finally gone as our main striker. Unfortunately he seems to have become a one season wonder. Would live to seem him back and firing but it's been to long now since he showed his ability and he is never anywhere near a header. He doesn't seem to be able to judge the flight of a ball as he is always 3 yards away from where the ball ends up.

He was our top scorer last season. I also think we would have gained a lot more points at the end of this season if he hadn't gotten injured.

Not for me, when he is upfront he is used as a battering ram, literally no quality of football, hit and hope and let him chase and cause a nuisance of himself. he literally offers no kind of link up play other than the midfield picking up second balls. That's no way to play football. As an attacking midfielder I can see him getting game time as he gets goals and has a good engine but then would I play him ahead of Reid? no.
I think he is destined to be a squad player the rest of his career.

Sorry but I complety disagree is by far our best goalscorer and is the best at holding the ball up for others bar Niasse.
Patterson getting injured was a massive loss for us more so than any other injury this season.
