Condimentalist Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Yeah he's been a good servant but it's the one area where we can easily upgrade. He doesn't suit how we play sadly. Should have stopped the ball in for their goal too. I hope we can do it in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Lacks awareness, so predictable on the ball and either ponders too much or rushes what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Right back is the area we really need to upgrade. As a squad option Cash is useful but as a regular starter he's not quite at the level we now need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Wasn't great today, but still will be a miss for Utd esp if Pau still out. frustrating to get booked in almost last play of the game (though can't really fault him for making that foul at that moment).

Tomaszk Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Carried it directly into traffic all night. Awful. Frustrating Unai didn't bring him off to be honest. He was absolutely stinking it out. Looked shattered but pretty confident it's mental rather than physical. His confidence is shot to bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 He was one of the better players in Gerrard's system, where he has space to run into with the ball and arrive in the box. Less passing/positioning and more counter and finishing. He doesn't fit into this system as he's not a RB/CB hybrid or a RM that can drift into the CM area like Ramsey/Bailey/McGinn do. Decent player and on his day he's certainly on par with Digne but the system and role of that side is going to cost him here long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Shown up all of his weakenness tonight. As a sub ? Great, as a starter ? Not so sure. A poor game tonight is kind towards his display. He wasn't the only poor effort tonight , the result is thanks to 3 or 4 players not being good enough tonight and emery not sorting it out.

Farlz Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It surely must be a tactical instruction because there's no way he would decide every single time to bring the ball in the middle of the pitch when there was acres of space for him out wide to attack and try cross the ball. I'm just not having it, he can't have been that stupid. I like Cash and have tried to stick up for him but it's becoming blatantly obvious we need a RB in January.

Folski Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Think he just lacks the IQ to play in the system. Think he’d be perfect for a West Ham where you don’t have to think you just react. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 While other players seem to keep improving, I feel like cash has hit his ceiling. This is as good as he gets and it isn't good enough for a place in the starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I agree, time and time again he has the chance to run into space on the outside and cuts in. Konsa also misses countless opportunities to feed the ball to Cash early but seems reluctant to. I think Cash is low in confidence and it showed jiat before their goal the moans from the crowd when he does the wrong thing, he must hear it. I don't like it tbh. He doesn't hide, shows for the ball and trys to make things happen. I think competition would improve his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Definitely the weak spot at the level we are currently at… he’s a much better player than Neil Taylor obviously, but it reminds me of the promotion season when Tammy, McGinn, Grealish etc would zip it around then it would come to Taylor and just… stop. Fine as a squad player but I’d be looking to upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-avfc Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Cash is a decent middling PL player, not a standard to be sniffed at but I don’t think he’s an Emery player. It seemed like the plan in the summer was to phase him out with Konsa moved over to the right but the squad injuries put a stop to that, and now Konsa has gone up so many levels you wouldn’t want to move him out of the centre anyway.
