nepal_villan Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I counted 5 of his crosses being blocked tonight. Either we need to sign the Burnley LB or Cash needs to work on getting the ball in. Not taking away anything from his performances across the season. He has been very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 "Shhhhhhoooooot" You know what Matty don't shoot. Not everything has to be 100mph blast into the Holte or a defenders legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we have someone ready to compete/rotate with him next season as it is hard to maintain high levels for 38 games a season. I think KKH might be ready to do it but we will see. Unless we get a truly worthwhile offer for him, I'd get Guilbert back in and let them battle it out. He's smashed it in France two loans in a row, while KKH really needs to have a year in the C'ship. L2 -> L1 -> Prem is too big a jump for a teenage defender, imo, and nobody wants to see Young or Chambers there if Cash is injured/suspended, nor are they really much competition for him.

His final ball has improved this season (along with other aspects of his game) so I’m not that concerned about this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The things on my mind have both been addressed on this page already. 1) Blocked cross after blocked cross. So frustrating, so predictable. 2) He’s a bit too eager to shoot for a RB. Yeah, now and again have a dig if there’s nothing else on but he isn’t good enough to keep hitting long range rockets when you’ve loads of options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind point 2 - it's good to try different things, especially the ones were he goes for the nearside top corner. Will catch a goalie off guard with that.

All the play seemed to go down the right last night, or did I imagine that? Cash played right into Burnley's hands, his crosses were either blocked or high crosses that made it into the box caught by Pope. And you're right, he does shoot far too often.

MaVilla Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Matty really needs to work on his final balls and decision-making in the final third. Great player, but his biggest weakness is that final ball, and decision-making in relation to that phase of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia was furious with him last night, and he was right to be. Edited May 20, 2022 by Davkaus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're right. Let's just try the same attack over and over again because that's not predictable at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) If we have no secondary option other than our right back scoring a worldie out of nowhere from 30 yards when he rarely hits the target, we have bigger problems than I thought.

There are plenty of options to choose from - why not have a strike if there's a shot on? He was having very little joy with his crossing as Taylor was marking him so tightly and well - you have to mix things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked him to have cut it back to the edge of the box a couple of times instead of have a blaze etc. (FWIW I don't mind a pop on goal from that position as long as its once and then try something different, not multiple times). One of the litany of blocked crosses, Ramsey was in half an acre of space on the D and we all know he's got a shot on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Everyone piling on whoever. But cash was directly at fault goals 1 and 3. If he was marking Gundogan properly he doesn't score either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basic stuff. This isn't to throw blame at him just pointing out everyone on the team was making basic mistakes because they were so tired at this point.

Demitri_C Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Cash waa yotally at fault for 1st goal. He should have won that header. Very poor defending from him there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Had a very decent season but needs to be more aware defensively. Get's blindsided ball watching too easily at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 He was at fault for the first goal, no question...ball-watching has been a fault of his for a long time. The third goal was a brilliant pass. The angle couldn't have been more perfect. I'm not going to blame him too much for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
