DJBOB Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Just reminded me of the United cup game. He can not play in transition. At a low block to see out the game as part of the lead - that's fine. But he is a horror show in the open field and contributed to all 3 goals and countless more attacks by Legia. This was the one transfer that I thought was baffling we didn't complete. We can not expect Cash to play 50 games at RB. Maybe if Diego comes back then Konsa can take some spells, but it's hardly an ideal solution. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash/Konsa for RB then Carlos/Konsa for RCB. I think he's 3rd choice in both but of course Carlos is out at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I thought Chambers looked useful as a centre back in pre-season as his standard of passing is quite good. But by heck that was a terrible performance today, he just hasn't got the pace or positional ability for right back. His positioning when he was about 15 yards away from his man is the sort of thing you see in non league football when the player has been out on the piss the night before and is trying to keep up with a 17 year old forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 He's not the kind of RB that Emery needs in his system (I'm not sure he's a RB at all to be honest. I always see him as a CB). His lack of pace was causing us no end of problems for the entire time that he was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygreaves Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Garbage at fullback in this system. Just terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Always amazes me the stick Cash gets on this forum. Look at that from one of our backup RBs tonight, just jogging back for the Legia second. Woeful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted September 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2023 someone please tell me why we let ashley young leave when this is the best alternative at RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I don't think we can play Chambers except for seeing out a lead in a low block. He is unplayable for me in Unai's system. 2 CB injuries and no additional RB has pushed him in the starting XI but this is a bright red flag that we need anyone else that can play RB besides Cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, he is not good enough in reality. At his best he is a lower level PL player/upper championship player. He is a useful utility player off the bench, but should not be starting games for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 So he was the best signing of that famously great Gerrard January window He probably still is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 He makes you realise how dynamic Cash is (with his wasteful flaws of course). Some of it could be lack of match fitness but he looked miles off the speed and intensity that other teams are going to be bringing. At times it came across as so casual that he's one of them players who's very good at football but it's just a job to them. Bad day at the office either way.

grantholtgolazo Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 utmost respect for Emery and his judgment, but it’s tough to square that with his trust in chambers for a game like this, must be one hell of a practice player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unai doesn’t trust him as a starter but he’s down two CB’s with no other RB and a tight window of games. A combination of injury and an odd transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 well, considering my comments on him, on 4th August.....that performance was a shot below the belt. did he have a stomach upset or something.....his defending never represented a Pro Defender, his positioning was amateurish. OMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised, with all the sophisticated data and analytical resource....that we would still succumb to that. However, I have no better idea for the reason for that ****show of defending.
