Emery often likes to play a centre back there. Maybe he wouldn't have played as much if Mings had been fit, but it feels like he has really stepped up, seems a lot more confident and is trying to make himself undroppable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VILLAMARV Posted October 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2023 I thought he changed the game yesterday. Tireless running. Infectious enthusiasm. He's the one who grabbed that game by the scruff of the neck. Great stuff. Probably our best right back in 40 years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His effort is obvious, and his play when we regain possession prior to the goal, where he runs, and then the pass to McGinn, are evidence of pure determination. would like depth behind Cash, but I never worry with him out there. He has no competition and continues to push himself. Would've been more than fair for the crowd to sing his name at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Emery seemed a little unsure of him last season, but clearly this season the manager has a lot of confidence in him, and his game has improved in every department, especially in attack.

The_Steve Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Really put a shift in today. Some excellent blocks and clearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I'm surprised there hasn't been more comments in here after the game, I thought he was fantastic today, if Douggie hadn't of got 2 goals then Cash could have been in with a shout for MOTM for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Cash is another that’s really improved under Emery. He’s a real threat on the wing and his defending has been much better, he rarely makes the sort of mistakes he was making a couple of years ago.

StefanAVFC Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 It pains me to be negative after such a good win but he's so brainless as a footballer. I really think he will struggle to perform in Emery's system which requires high football intelligence. At least 2/3 times last night he played himself into trouble crying to turn out rather than play the % ball back to Martinez to rebuild. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's improved this year and tbh I though both full backs did really well yesterday. think everyone in the team played themselves into trouble at some point. lengelet and kamara especially but I think that was the game plan. back themselves and their team mates no matter what and the gamble paid off.

The difference is, with Kamara doing it, for example, we're dragging players out and trying to beat the press. With Cash, I just think he panics and forgets what he's supposed to do.

The_Steve Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Got exposed with the balls over the top last night. Didn’t look as confident defensively judging from the highlights last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 He has obviously improved under Emery this year. I think he had also benefitted from Moreno being absent. I think that has given Cash more license to go forward which is his strong point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I think he was alright and really needs a rotation option. Between him and Digne, I wonder who's going to crack first. Unai seems to be fine with the tradeoff between his football IQ and his athleticism. Allows him to be used in a few different options but is also a good option when he has to go 1v1 against some of the top wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I think it took a while longer for him to get up to speed than others when Emery first came in, but he's kicked on a lot and while his position dictates that he doesn't get as much stick as say a Watkins can, he's still probably proven many wrong who thought his ceiling was lower than he's gone on to show this season in particular.. It's harsh to suggest he's brainless as a player, in my opinion. Has his shortcomings without doubt but he's playing in quite a detailed, fluid system under one of the best coaches around, across several different positions and/or interpretations of them at that. You're not managing to do that without a good aptitude for the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
