Matty Cash

[Footy-Vill]

For Cash, it's been a bit of a defensive struggle.
He does, in my opinion, lack Emery's full trust in his defending abilities and possesion of the ball.
He came inside nearly every time against Newcastle when in possession in our own half.
Credit he stopped a certain goal in defending second half but he does need some competition for his place.

He always seems to come across well. It's the kind of piece that's not really aimed at us old feckers.

Good call.

Imagine in the 1970's hearing that we are playing a pre-season game against Lazio at the Poundland Bescot Stadium, and that you can get a day pass to watch it live on your computer device for £4.99.

Oh we were brought up on the space race and now they expect ya to clean toilets. When you've seen how big the world is, how can you make do with this?

The first football match I ever went to abroad, was Cafu's debut for Roma in a pre-season friendly at the Stadio Olympico. On the opposing side, Ronaldo was making is debut for Inter Milan.

It was free to get in.  I was Inter-railing with my then missus, and a bloke in the pizza place we ate in told me you could get in for free if the game had kicked off, so I made her wolf down her cheap pizza and we jumped in a cab.  Mr Romance, me.

I don't think it's a coincidence that for today's game Emery tried making the right-back the attacking threat, and having a more defensive left-back to make up the three at the back when we attacked.

He scored, and played well, but I don't see him playing like that when Moreno is fit.  It'll be one or the other I suspect.  And I think right now Moreno is probably the better attacking full-back option?

I think we look much better balanced with proper fullbacks at both left back and right back, even if one of them has to be more conservative. I think you're right, Moreno will definitely be the more attacking one when fit, but until he is, I think Cash will get forward more and Digne will stay back. I didn't think either Konsa or Torres at full back looked very convincing to be honest.

Yep, definitely think that was the case yesterday.  JPB was out wide left and the right side was left open for Cash to move into.  Diaby had more of s free role in behind Watkins.

This season, I believe Cash will be the primary right back. At least until January.
There will be times when he is rested and rotated for Konsa or Chambers, as well as subbed off, but he has to be considered the first choice as a right full back
I like him as a full back who pushes forward. I'm not sure he has the footballing ability or intellect to play inverted or Emery's version of it.
Cashy should now only progress under Emery's tutelage.

It's intriguing to learn that there are specific full back coaches, so if he doesn't advance this season, he'll almost certainly be upgraded.
I believe he has more goal-scoring talent than we have seen and that is something that could be shown. I think his crosses are not as accurate as hope but there are plenty of positives if a little concerning on how he is not always comfortable against one on one defending and on the ball in tight spaces.

I don’t agree with that last sentence Footy, I think he’s very good at finding his man with a pass when under pressure.
