Nobody was at fault. It was just jammy as fuck.
Cash was the major fault for the goal conceded versus Man Utd. It was his missing the header Poor positional play.Not the first time he's been caught like this.

There was no major fault, a shot from 25 yards that's heading 2-3 yards wide but deflects into the over side of the net is just bad luck.Maybe we could do things differently but from what I've seen the xG for the Shaw shot was 0.01 and the deflection was so low it rounded down to 0.00, it's a one in hundreds chance that just went the way of the spawniest bunch of wankers in the league.

I would also add that Ramsey's clearance wasn't particularly strong. Yes, the goal from the shot was fortunate, but we should focus on and consider what happened before the goal. People need to give bit more analysis and thought to the way the ball ultimately arrived go Shaw and that we concededLook, Cash failed to deal with the ball when it was crossed, as a result, it was his error of judgement that caused the ball to remain in possession of Man Utd in the danger zone. The ensuing play could have been avoided with a clearance.There was a lack of composure and a sort of see it through to halftime attitude that allowed Manchester United to take control for the final 5 minutes of the half, where Villa had previously dominated.Anyway, I hope it's clear what I'm emphasising is Cash failure and resulted in a goal as a result of Cash's inability to effectively clear the ball. That's how I see it, and it's here to debate Cash role. What's not the discussion is on Shaw's shot being deflected in as that is what is fortunate and that's in agreement by all.
We had four people on the edge of the area, and the high, looping cross sailed over them all. Cash was closest, but he didn't miss the header, it was too high for him to get to. You might argue that Buendia could have got tighter to Dalot in the first place to prevent the initial cross, or Ramsey mught have booted the ball further up the pitch or into touch. But they weren't major errors, and 99 times out of 100 that shot goes harmlessly wide for a goal kick.
Their goal was just unfortunate and very lucky. Blaming Cash is laughable, it's just absolute nonsense.
