Matty Cash

Matty Cash, the poor man's Alisha Lehmann.

Does she stand appropriately?

Don't think the women's team have the same detail oriented coaching staff.

You’re making shit up again about Cash. Give it a rest.

What is this? We are supposed to give opinions on here - nothing wrong with his in the post before yours as I can see.

As I haven't a clue about tactics,442,6611,122222 or any other damn formation I am happy to let Emery sort him out as he has done with the other players

Thanks Astnor. It's like I'm being forced to not say my view or not make any criticism against what I see as an underperforming player
 
And TV you're encouraging this site to make up indecent comments on the latest Caption Competition thread. But even if I'm not really wanting the promoting of vulgarity I'm not going to say give it a rest. Some enjoy bawdiness that's their prerogative. Let me have my musings while you have yours.

Not rating a player or how he's played is one thing. Bringing up his private life is just a bit creepy, unnecessary and very sad.

All a bit crass. Especially on a Sunday.

[Risso]

I haven't seen one single comment anywhere about any supposed lack of professionalism on Cash's part, or any reports of his private life interfering with his training. Having a difference of opinion about whether he's good enough is absolutely fine. Making stuff up to back up a negative opinion absolutely isn't.

Leaving Cash out seems to be more tactical than anything else.

[Monty]

Yep, it was an option that Unai clearly had in mind when he brought in Torres, to move Konsa to that right-back-shuffling-central thing with Mings and Pau inside, and now Carlos is finally up to speed to a degree where he can be trusted in the first team. Nothing against Cash, he's the number one option for when we want the right back to stay wider and overlap more.

[Risso]

Of course it is. I think Emery wanted to make the defence a bit more solid in away games, so tried Ezri at right back and Cash at wide midfield as he still felt he couldn't fully rely on Bailey. Cash at wide right didn't work, but Konsa did a good job at right back, so he kept that defence for arguably the two most difficult home games we'll have all season. Now with Leon looking a lot more consistent, he kept with the same side. I'm absolutely certain Cash will have a huge part to play in the rest of the games this season. He's been out of the starting line ups for the same games Diaby has, and I'm sure Moussa will be back in soon too.

Cash's energy and pace was great when he came on against Arsenal, it was superb game management by Emery.

[Monty]

Bailey finding joy dropping wide from the forward role combined with Tielemans really knitting the whole right side together really opens up this tactic now. Cash will have his decisive performances this year with other gameplans.

[Risso]

What we're seeing now is the benefit of the team not almost picking itself for the first time in ages. Emery has now got 15-16 players who are all easily good enough for the first 11, who can all come on as a sub if needed, or play when a match calls for a specific set up. I can easily see one of Cash or Moreno coming in against Brentford to give us a bit more width from the wings for example.

[Monty]

It's got to the stage where if we lost Watkins even I'd back him to do something about it. Diaby and Bailey up front, they love playing together, why not! All rather exciting.

With Digne suspended for picking up his 5th booking, Moreno will have to start anyway. The rest of the defence will probably remain.
