The Matty Cash Thread

[mike_field]

With Aston Villa fans seeing summer signing Matty Cash limp off just after the hour mark in the tough draw with Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend, most expected that his hamstring issue would keep him out for a couple of games, and as head coach Dean Smith previewed the upcoming Leicester City clash, sadly, he confirmed just that.

bollox, he's been playing so well for us.

 

[Nerrad Villa]

can Konsa play at right back bring Engel back in anything instead of elmo starting i'm afraid

 

[colavfc]

Problem is Engels has no pace. Against Vardy.
Or Elmo vs Barnes.
Jesus christ.

 

[sirdennis]

Is Elmo that bad ? I don't see it that way.

No, he isn't, gives us more attacking wise and a bit less pace in defence, it a preconceived idea based on nothing really that Elmo is no good, just like those who hadn't got a clue over Marvelous and are now clamouring for him to start ahead of Luiz.
Is he as good as Cash no is he a bad player no, I would be more concerned if Neil Taylor had to play, to be honest

Yet Engels recorded one of the fastest sprints in the PL last season, he's probably as quick as Mings , not as quick as Konsa but not many are

I have doubts over the accuracy of the speed stats. According to them Soyuncu was the fastest player in the league last season. I'm not suggesting he is a slouch, but I'd be surprised if he made the top 10 fastest players in the league.
Engels is by far the slowest defender we have, especially if you include the time to turn round.
And as its the Cash thread, he'll be a huge miss, but Elmo is pretty dependable so I dont get the worry about this one.

Konsa made a few mistakes in the last game, mistakes Engels probably wouldn't make. Engels is a good traditional CB, and a combination of him and Mings would be formidable in keeping Leicester at bay.

Elmo has qualities, but I have the feeling his legs aren't quite what they were.

They weren't too formidable together when we got walloped 4-0 at the King Power last season.

 

[Pangloss]

It's a blow but at the end of the day if Leicester beat us it most likely will not be down to Cash not playing. They're a very good side.

 

[mike_field]

DS saying 3/4 weeks for Cash.

 

[Villan57]

DS saying 3/4 weeks for Cash.

10 weeks then

 

[mike_field]

10 weeks then

Hopefully not!

 

[Silhillvilla]

10 weeks then

You've applied the law of Barkley I see

 

[McParlandTheGreat]

One match? Last season? When the whole approach from DS was too open?

 

[gator]

All hamstring injuries are a piece of string how long

 

[Silhillvilla]

One match? Last season? When the whole approach from DS was too open?

And our keeper had Covid

Good news.

Whilst still learning at this level nevertheless I think he is a wonderful addition to Aston Villa and well done to whoever it was to see his potential and made sure we bought him.
