Agreed, both played really well last night and showed how this can work for us once we get the DM that we all know has been needed for at least 2 years.

His crossing and general distribution is top notch.

Yep, Digne is class but his delivery is starting to show up Cash's on the other side.

I reckon Gerrard will be in for someone of Digne's level on the right over the summer.

I'd be hugely surprised if that happens. Cash's delivery isn't quite as good, but then he brings other attributes such as athleticism and the ability to get up and down the pitch at speed. Personally I think he'll be one of the last players to be upgraded.

And his first thought is a forward one. Targett would get a long ball under control then pass backwards.

Was just about to post something similar Risso, replacing Cash is the least of our concerns atm.

Cash that just signed a new 5 year deal and has been our player of the season?

There's no way he's being replaced.

Cash is also significantly younger and has improved massively in the 2 years he's been here, even since Gerrard arrived he's stepped up a level, I don't think there's any chance we're looking to repalce him any time soon.

With Cash and Digne we've arguably got the 4th or 5th best set of fullbacks in the league. We need to be replicating that level of quality across the squad - we're not far off.

I think he should have stuck with Mane for the goal or at least communicated the handover better.  But yes, he's looking really good going forward.

Also, some of McGinn's balls from the left have also been superb in the last two games, between them they are giving defenders a torid time.

As for Cash, I expect him to stay at least until KKH takes his place in a year or so's time.

Cash's delivery in the final 3rd is dreadful and he's got no competition at the mo.  If a right footed equivalent of Digne came up I'm convinced Gerrard would go for it.

Don't get the love-in for Cash, just can't see what's so great about him apart from having an engine to get up and down the flank which is a pre-requisite for every full back these days.

I’d been pretty disappointed with Digne, but the last couple of games he’s showing why we bought him in.
