Matty Cash, the right-back for Aston Villa, has sent a strong message to manager Unai Emery about his spot on the team after another impressive performance against Chelsea. Although the match ended in a goalless draw and set up a replay at Villa Park, Cash stood out with his all-round display. Despite being benched for the past few months, Cash has shown that he is ready to fight for a spot on the first team. His masterclass against Middlesbrough in the third round earned him a SofaScore rating of 8.8, the highest of any player on the pitch. He also impressed in his cameo role against Everton, creating one big chance and completing 86% of his passes. At Stamford Bridge, Cash successfully completed 79% of his passes, registered five clearances, won 50% of his ground duels, and recorded two key passes. With his ingenuity on the team, Villa has seen their goals dry up without him. If Emery does not reward him with regular starts in the coming weeks, Villa fans will be left wondering what will.
