Aston Villa continued their horrendous run of form in the Premier League with a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last night.
Dean Smith’s side managed to take an early lead through John McGinn but the League leaders put on an impressive come back to secure all three points eventually.
Villa have now won just two of their last ten Premier League matches and Smith will be under tremendous pressure to turn his side’s form around.
Villa looked quite vulnerable at the back last night and the fans will be disappointed with the performance of Matty Cash in particular.
The 23-year-old full-back made quite a few wrong decisions and he put his teammates under continuous pressure. Cash was eventually sent off in the second half for a couple of reckless challenges.
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden had an exceptional game last night and the young midfielder harassed the Villa full-back from start to finish.
The 23-year-old Villa defender cannot afford to get carried away in crucial situations and he will have to work on his decision making as well.
Cash has proven to be a reasonably good signing for Villa this season but he needs to cut out the recklessness from his game if he wants to succeed at the highest level.
Some of the Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the defender’s performance against Manchester City last night and here is what they had to say.
What on earth is Matty Cash thinking diving in like that on a yellow card? #AVFC

Good goal to be fair. Matty Cash lost his man there though #AVFC

Some of the decisions Matty Cash instinctively makes are absolutely mind-boggling and regularly costly.#AVFC

Utter stupidity from Matty Cash. Big fan but I’d drop him for a period of time. Needs to learn a valuable lesson
