I still think Cash is a decent player and certainly Premier League standard, just not top 4 level which is where we're trying to get to. People saying he's a Championship player are way off the mark, they must be confusing him with Chambers. Yes I think Cash in a more traditional winger/overlap system would do well. The role here just doesn’t suit him very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 He's still scored 4 goals this season so it's not as if he hasn't contributed. It could go either way, we sell as him as the FFP would be good or we use him as a bridge between Konsa playing RB before Kosta settles in. We could spend the money elsewhere if we did that. Anyway I trust Unai and Monchi to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Matt Cash is fine. Yea he's a bit frustrating with how safe he generally plays, but even if he passes square or backwards, at least he's not giving the ball away. I understand it's annoying when moves seem to break down because of him, but there are lots of examples of that being the case with the rest of the team. I'd argue we waste more time with the ball at Emi Martinez's feet, waiting for a low block team to press him, than Matt Cash does passing the way he does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Cash doesn't fit in Unai's system is not particularly his fault. He would do well at a Palace or even West Ham as others have said - a mostly out of possession counter-attacking threat overlapping a winger. But just because he doesn't necessarily fit into Unai's system doesn't mean he's all of a sudden worse than an academy defender.

Let's get a much better RB in the summer, giving KKH time to improve over the next couple of years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash ideally needs to be playing for a high-tempo team where he doesn't need to be in possession all that often because that's the weakest part of his game - concentration, composure etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 With the Konsa injury, it looks like Cash is going to get a forced run of games now. Time for him to turn into the Polish Cafu once more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WallisFrizz Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 He’s had dogs abuse recently, so I hope the fans get behind him. He has been the weakest link this season but even so, always conducts himself well and has been a good player for us overall. Im dreading the first mistake he makes because fans are just going to get on his back instantly which will only play into opposition hands. If I remember rightly he had a really good game v Chelsea. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the only part of Gerrard's system that worked was Matty Cash getting forward. That RB/RCB hybrid role isn't what he's good at, he's still the same player as before but the job is a lot different now and he's just not very good at it. It's why Kamara drops in at RB when we have the ball and he goes to what is basically RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Took a look at his starts last season under Unai after the WC. He did miss a fair bit either through injury or beaten out by Ashley Young, but the stats themselves are fine. He started 9 matches - 4W-3D-2L Granted, he had Konsa and Mings on the back line but think he will be fine for a few matches. The 4 wins were Everton, Palace, Bournemouth, and Brighton.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 The problem isn’t that Cash is a poor player. That’s not the case It the issue is that Konsa is such a good player! It’s same with as Torres and Lenglat. The players coming in can do a job but the drop off in quality is unavoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 He's a very decent player and a good squad member. Just not at the levels of Ezri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he isn't a poor player, he just isn't suited to our style of play. Unai knows that Cash is not great when tactics need us to play that way. Hence Unai preferring Konsa. So will we see Unai tweak the way we play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I'm done. I don't think he has the ability to adapt or become a better player like others have under Emery. Constantly out of position, you could get the entire Holte End crowd into the constant space he leaves exposed and when he does get into the other half all he wants to do is that stupid chop then pass backwards. We have to find better, as Ezri & Pau is our starting CB pairing once they are both back fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't just tonight mate, I think he's been woeful for months and months but when the team plays well, it masks it a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Certainly harsh to single him out today, he has been one of multiple poor players Thst said, Cahs is absolutely not good enough, he is really poor on the ball and is poor defensively, he cant hold the high line and reads the game poorly. Credit where credit is due though, he does put in a shift, id aay he is very similar to Hutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
