With that said, whilst Cash did play well I also have concens about him at times. He's energetic and probably at his best when driving forward from a loose ball, but his end product whether cross or shot is more often than not pretty woeful. I'm interested to see if Emery can improve him, but otherwise I agree with footy - right back may be an area we need to strengthen soon enough (unless KKH makes the step up)
It's called having an agenda. A boring, monotonous agenda.

In my opinion, Cash has been one of the 'least worst' though. He's quick and tenacious and has a decent amount of skill, plenty for Emery to work with.

A boring, monotonous agenda.It's like a continuous stream of Talksport drive time hot takes.Well lets make note he made a foul throw! Nobody in the team makes foul throws the way he does. He use to make hand balls but I've seen his throwing has been an issue and he does them a fair share of illegal moves due to not thinking. He was penalised for a foul throw against Manchester United, which should not have happened at this level. His overall play needs to be far more intelligent. Some of that is due to lavjbof composure and decsuons making as much as to ability. He would need to channel his exuberance like McGinn, which is why I feel there isn't the necessary thoughtfulness in their play for all their desire and they are both inclined to make unnecessary or wild challenges. There are positives to his right back play but for sure Cash can work on his decision making.
I saw at least 2 foul throws from Utd players after Cash was pulled up for his. You see them every game from a lot of players but it’s never penalised. The crowd called them out at the time but it wasn’t a surprise they weren’t pulled up for them.
It's got nothjng to do with group think in the slightest. Plenty of people have disagreements on here. The difference is that most don't claim to have done extra analysis or be on a higher level of critical thinking.If you want discussion you present ideas and ask for opinions, you don't present things as some deeper interpretation that the masses can't understand and sulk when people get annoyed at you.For example "Could Cash have kept a couple of yards wider and cleared the cross for their goal?" is a talking point and opens a conversation."Cash made a major error for their goal" is clearly wrong on a number of levels and gers the responses you've seen.On the conversation version I'd have expected someone who studies the game so deeply to have noticed that both full backs were intentionally narrow to encourage them to play long deep crosses which we were confident in handling. It was also part of a plan to draw their players wider meaning we could pick passes straight through them in transition. Our first goal and a number of other decent chances cane directly as a result of it
