After that I suspect the shirt is his again.

I'm not so sure it's that nailed on, a lot of his all round play today was quite rusty, and he was massively at fault for the goal. I think he and Ramsey still need to be managed back to full form and fitness. I think he might start against Sheffield United, but Digne will get the nod against Man U.

Agreed and also Digne has been excellent, I think it’s a proper battle for the starting slot. Digne doesn’t score that goal, but equally we probably don’t concede the goal if he’s playing either.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the same dilemma at right back which didn’t involve playing Konsa out of position. But then we have that dilemma over Konsa, Torres and Carlos.

I do wonder sometimes is it a case of wanting to play Cash where he does, or just not wanting to pick between Konsa, Torres, and Carlos?

If it's the latter then we need to sign some kind of right wing/midfield player because Cash isn't it.

Seems to me that Konsa play RB because Cash isnt dependable enough as RB.

Are you the nonFooty person who only ever posts to criticise Cash?

I think Emery has always favoured a lop sided defence, with the right back almost acting as a third centre back. I think Cash is a perfectly decent traditional right back, but I think he might struggle with Emery’s expectations of what he expects of that role.

No but I do agree its mostly Footy and me that seems to post critical opinions about Matty s contributions on here.

It's the latter. Arteta does the same with White at Arsenal, MON used do it with Cuellar and Mellberg. Cash is fine at RB but Emery has been itching to play with 3 x CBs since pre season. Definitely no need to play 3 x CBs v Sheff United so with Torres maybe carrying a knock I think we will see Cash back at RB. Cash playing there has only worked once that I can think of v Burnley. Konsa at RB has only worked v Man City.

Became all a bit too much for him v Newcastle and it was perhaps his weakest performance.
Don't think he had much support from Tielemans on that side of the pitch and could have linked better.

Lovely strike for his goal V Sheffield United from am excellent pick out by Watkins.
Moreno offers such a great attacking threat from all our full backs he's the one most likely to get goals.
That's two goals in 7 matches.

Nearly as good as Cash's two goals in 1 match.

Think he needed a good game today, and he delivered. Took his goal well, he loves a back post volley!

It'll take time for him to get back to his best, but he's such a threat going forward at times.

I really like him.

Thought Alex should have scored in the home match against the Blades with that far-post header.
