For those commenting on Cash being much improved when pushed higher up the pitch, I'm pretty sure we converted him into a RB. Didn't he play on right wing for Forest back in the day?

Left for Leipzig at 4:30am yesterday, got home at 4:30am this morning. School run done, and now a full day of work ahead of me!

Wouldn't change it for the world - What a time to be alive. Brilliant trip, let's enjoy the ride! Still can't quite believe where we are compared to even a year ago.

UTV

That was his best performance  there for sure. But most times in Pl he has played there it hasnt worked. From what i remember  wasnt the battering at vp by spurs cash at rm?

Yes it was. It worked yesterday because Leipzig are a low confidence injury broken team at the moment and the gamble worked.

I'd definitely play him there again but the circumstances have to be right.

I have berated Cash plenty of times for not having a look before he crosses the ball because all too often he hits an aimless cross into the box which goes to waste. But last night it was noticeable how often he did look up before crossing the ball last night and the ball to Ollie at the far post was a perfect example. He's obviously been reading my comments on H&V.

I'd much rather have Matt Cash on that side over Bailey (this season's vintage) and Philogene.

if emi comes and boots the ball away both time there we're talking about an excellent clean sheet, because they didn't trouble us much until the end otherwise.

imo we'll start conceding less with kamara back to his best and onana coming back - even less if ramsey can stay fit

Nah. I want them both to lose.

Yeah, plenty of time for the coefficient to recover. Come on Monaco and Juventus.

I don't think Monaco makes any difference, let them win. As for Juve, 4 sent off each and a 0-0 would be fine.

I wouldn’t have him over Bailey, or at least not yet. Last night he was good, but it was one game and Leipzig were desperately poor in defence. On the previous occasions he’s done he’s struggled.

At times this season, having Bailey in there has been almost 10 men territory.  At least Cash is defensively sound and aggressive.  Still think Bailey can get back to his best, but maybe coming on as a sub (like he did for a part of last season if I recall) would be better.

I think that, given the way we played, we deserved to feel far more comfortable than we did for the last 5/10 minutes.

Really need to be a lot more clinical in front of goal, if we progress we wont get too many chances to score and we need to take those we do get, or even work the keeper more.

Is this the "please play Mings and Konsa as centre backs" thread?

No it’s the we were bloody brilliant thread. Leipzig did fuck all tontrouble us other than punt long aimless balls in behind our back 4. Even with the defensive lapses they created the grand total of fuck all.

However our approach and passing were absolutely sensational and we could have won by a hatful. Some of the link up play between Rogers, Tielemans, Watkins, Duran, Kamara etc etc was fantastic and we looked a proper good outfit.

It’s been a great week but that’s been the story of the last 3 games all of which should have been far more comfortable given the great situations we created. Someone is in for a drubbing soon hopefully!
