Popular Post TrentVilla Posted December 20, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2020 How many times am I allowed to say told you so in this thread? He has been so good this season. I honestly think its down to having better players around him, that isn't detracting from him in the slightest he is clearly working on his game. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his personality is his biggest asset, unbelievably hard worker and is better every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I've been a critic but I thought he was outstanding tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Very good again. I must say I was among his harshest critics but it seems like his defense has improved drastically over the last 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 He really impressed me tonight too. I wonder how much is him actually getting better as a player versus the team just gelling better, but whatever the reason is I'm all for it and I hope he's able to maintain this form for the rest of the season!

Rich192 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Had a brilliant season. Was always good going forward, but he’s really solid defensively as well now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I must be blind, but I'm not seeing the vast improvement everyone keeps banging about. I'm not saying he's terrible, but I just see a lot of deficiencies in his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 First half he nullified Albions only threat. He’s also improved his concentrate defending the back post. Looking very good atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think its down to having better players around him, that isn't detracting from him in the slightest he is clearly working on his game. He needs a good player in front of him who can put in the shift to help out. Cash can still have a really good game with a Traore, Trez or whoever on the right who isn’t working hard off the ball to track back. Trez, AeG and Traore (today) show how supporting the left and right back without the ball is so important for a strong foundation at the back. even more so when we play fast sides like United and City who will hammer us if we offer much space in those positions. he did well tonight, they call did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I was working tonight so I missed the game... In the highlights, he looked lively and put in a very good performance... But we DO need competition at left back... or at least cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 He's playing brilliantly. We've got a cracking pair of fullbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hes never deserved the scapegoating that he's received at times. Excellent again tonight. Not the flashiest player but a solid LB, good going forward and increasingly looks an absolute bargain. I'm a big fan of his 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted December 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2020 His reading of the game defensively in the last 3 games has been fantastic. Intercepting when possible, holding a good defensive position when it's not. That's allowed him to nulllify Adama Traore's pace and leave Burnley and WBA with no outlet down our left. For mine, he's been excellent since lockdown, along with Luiz and Konsa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 He's having great season. I was really concerned about him as I'm sure many also were but has really improved. Seems much more focussed and "on it" whereas last season his confidence and concentration were shot at times. Quality of team mates has taken the strain off him obviously but credit where credit is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Could he sneak into an England squad before the end of the season? Apart from Chilwell, there’s not many in the league playing better right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the answer is both. Also I think he now has a full season at the top level under his belt and probably learnt a lot from last seasons struggles and mistakes.
