ender4 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Matty Cash with Ashley Young as back-up for the occasional game when needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Iván Fresneda would be an interesting target from what I gathered. He's only 18 still so he's one for the future rather than a solution for next season perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 We need to be aware that the RB under Emery isnt a marauding/attacking fullback, the RB acts as a RB in the base formation, but when we have the ball the RB moves across to be the right centre back of a back 3 (CDL/CDR/RB make the back 3). Moreno at LB, and the left back generally under Emery, is the attacking fullback. Emery at Villarreal played a CB (Foyth) at RB, who then became part of that back 3 when they had the ball. With that in mind, i almost wonder of Konsa or Carlos could play that role (depending on which one gets the RCB role) - ie: Moreno - Mings - Carlos - Konsa. Would be nice to have a new RB tho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes on some occasions but in recent games Cash has been allowed to attack and play as a conventional rb, Emery signed Moreno for a different profile of fullback to play higher up the pitch almost as winger and Dinge to play in a more traditional way hence the reason they rotate. The tactical approach in each game has been different so it’s not as straightforward to assume he only plays defensive fullbacks at RB . I think we need similar options on the right as we do on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 There is always the chance that Emery will not set up his Villa to play exactly like he set up his Villarreal. Especially since the opponents in the PL will not behave all that similar to the opponents he faced in La Liga, strengths and weaknesses. Really looking forward to finding out next season once he gets to make his mark more on the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I think Cash has only been overlooked because he was away at the World Cup while Emery was working with the squad and Ash was playing really well. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts all the games from now on and Emery gets the best out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Cash has been brilliant the last two matches, not sure why people keep trying to sell him or replace him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I’d happily see us upgrade this/bring in younger competition for Cash as we have done with Digne/Moreno, but equally don’t think it’s a problem position as such. Curious to see where KKH is in the summer and how Young’s legs are doing. Cash is a totally reasonable midtable right back who will ultimately need replacing if we want to be challenging top six but is generally decent.

thabucks Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If Kaine Kesler-Hayden doesn’t step up, and Southampton go down Tino Livramento, when he returns to fitness could be a good pick up - looked class before doing his ACL. Max Aaron’s at Norwich is a strange one, never quite pushed on - yet. Both could be the next Tariq Lamptey who LT hasn’t pushed on from when he broke onto the scene - boy looked special.

KMitch Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Wan Bissaka is literally the prototypical RB for Emery's system. He's one of the best 1v1 defenders in the Premier League, rapid as fook, and led the league in defensive statistics for Palace before ManUre stalled out his career. He's been playing very well for them this season, but I think they're going to try to offload him this summer for a more attacking fullback.
