HongKongVillan Posted December 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2023 Very disappointing from him, especially I think he might have lost all individual battles that needed him to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even really a criticism - I think he’s performing perfectly well as a midtable PL full back which is an amazing level - he’s just the one player in our current starting XI I don’t think has the capability to step up to a CL chase, especially from an attacking perspective. I’d still happily have him in the squad for the long term but I think it’s the next position I’d be looking to upgrade. Perfect explanation. Cash isnt rubbish. He is just not quite as good as many others in the squad. Thats what happens when you start operating at the top of the league. Ceilings get lifted or hit. And its not the players fault if they dont get better. Its their limit and nothing to be ashamed of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Guessing he could be out for a while anyway now as he seemed to do his shoulder / collarbone toward the end of the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 He kills absolutely every attack with either the wrong decision or simply not being good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 He was our player of the year in his first season. He's not a bad player but he isn't performing to the level he can do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Its defo tactics that make him come back inside. Emery will be saying if the pass isnt on or if there is no space to run into then recycle back and start again. Its frustrating to watch but its not his fault. The Prem is tactically on a whole different level these days. Teams just do not let you have space any more unless they are the top ones who want to impose their game on us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Cashy but there is definitely room to improve in this team. I think the competition for his position in terms of Konsa seems to have affected his confidence too. He's good defensively and. Excellent when recovering, but the confidence to do something offensively seems low. I would love it if he could put in a few 9/10 performances in his next games as he deserves it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I noticed we only had 8 subs today. Did he picked up an injury as was expecting him to be back involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Ginny said in an interview there is a certain player taking longer to understand or take in Unai's analysis during team meetings but he wouldn't name names. I instantly though of Cash. He's struggling at the minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted December 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2023 I don’t post a lot nowadays and have always been loathe to pass on BS but at the Burnley game I was chatting to someone who I know has good ‘connections’. He told me two strong rumours for January: 1) That Matty Cash is off in January (to Chelsea?). 2) If 1) gains legs I will consider passing on the other rumour, which relates to a possible incoming striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I had a look on Chelsea forum recently and they were talking of the need of a new rightback, Cash's name came up but they were doubting they could attract him from us, they didn't seem to realize that we might see him as someone that we can improve upon. But point being he's being talked about amongst their fans as a possibility for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Chelsea are welcome to him. For £70m. Seems fair based on their established precedent. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted December 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2023 Whether it is true or not, it points to there being a shortage of decent right backs. If we are prepared to sell Cash, I hope we have a better alternative lined up as Konsa is needed back in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
