Matty Cash

[Paul.S]

Since Emery arrived Cash has improved defensively as a right back. I don’t think he was terrible last night just as I don’t think anyone was terrible. Maybe he’s struggling going forward a bit lately but all players go through periods where their form dips.  I’m certainly not going to pile in on him. We do need cover/competition at right back as we do in other areas of the squad.

I just think we need on the right what we have on the left with Digne and Moreno ie. a more attacking and more defensive option.  We were linked to Argentina's RB in the summer and watching a few videos of him, he looks exactly what we need really (although likely to be expensive).

It feels a bit tough to single him out, because last night he put himself about, was energetic and had a lot of the bal.

However, the amount of safe passing-back he engaged in once he got into their half drove me nuts.

Starting to think I'd be very surprised if no RB in the window.

[PeterWithe]

The full backs are very important positions for us, I think we will spend big on competition for Cash, think we might have to wait until the summer mind.

[Monty]

A right back who can do what the City and Arsenal ones do, stepping into midfield to make numerical advantages, would probably be a massive help in breaking down teams defending en masse.

[BC Villain]

He's been a good servant and clearly has a great personality.  However,  I don't think he's good enough for where he want to get too

[SamTheMouse]

I like the lad, he always works his socks off and his attitude is great But technically, he's not much better than Targett, to be honest.

[SaddVillan]

Cash looks very nervous when he's on the ball - his first touch has deteriorated - it's as if he's anxious when receiving the ball. Confidence lappears to have gone as well and he doesn't seem to know what to do when in or out of posession.
Support and overlap?
Come inside when on the ball?
Drive to the by line and cross?
Whip in an early cross?

He's literally all over the place

Yep for me too. Likeable and maybe lacking in confidence, but lacked that extra skill or confidence to take a man on just a few times more. I appreciate the lower risk keep the ball, circulate, stretch, probe for an opening team game, but there were times we just needed him to take a man on and try.

The trouble with Matty Cash is im not sure what he really is.

He started out as a wide player but obviously wasn't good enough to maintain that position so was dropped into the right back slot which he isint really good enough to play either at a high level.
He's a really quick player but going forward he doesn't have enough body movement or a skill just to give himself an opening to beat a man so inevitably he then has to keep checking back.   

I think the conclusion is he seems a nice lad who occasionally has a decent game but lacks the consistency to be a top half premier league player.

This is exactly my view of him and has been for quite a while. We're crying out for a whipped ball from the right at times. Cash shits himself in the final third, while Diaby and Bailey inevitably turn into traffic on their left peg.

[Matt C]

He doesn’t look comfortable when we’re asking him to be the Moreno of the right side but he’s still a very decent right back. I think we’ll just add another option there if not in January then in the summer.

[Meanwood Villa]

To be fair he did put in a cracking cross in the 9th min of injury time which they did well to clear then took one for the team with the booking

[kippaxvilla2]

Mid table PL player.  Just depends where our ambition is.  I assume it’s at the top end in which case we need an upgrade.

And gets Christmas off as a reward.

[colin69]

Not at his best last night and slows things down far too much. I expect an upgrade shortly.
