Rogers was brilliant helping out the defence in the first half, any talk of selling him is pure madness.

I thought he had a very poor second half, but the team’s performance as a whole didn’t help.

Don’t sell him. No matter the price. For starters, I don’t back Unai to find a replacement. His hit rate so far is one player. This one.

I think he probably should be sold to rebuild the squad, but you have hit on the problem and the reason I do not want a rebuild. Emery is personnel man is sub-standard and, because as manager he needs to win now, he buys players that will do this without looking to the future nearly enough. It is a difficult balancing act, but the purchases/loan-to-purchase of Guessand, Elliot, Diaby, etc. suggest that his eye for players that suit his system is not as keen as one might like. I love Unai, mind, but it is a concern.

He was absolute magic first half, as good as I've ever seen him. Second half he can be forgiven for not showing his usual class. Had to cover the whole front line at times and tracked back as ever when needed.

No one wants to sell him, we just know the reality. He's the best English player in the league at the moment, he almost certainly has a release clause in his contract and if we're not in the Champions League next season, he's highly unlikely to want to stay.

He came over to the right alot more to replace Bailey's work against Hall and Barnes and was also playing deeper. We know from last season he seems less assured when playing in that position. It also meant Thiaw and Burn only had to mark Tammy which pretty much took him out of the game as well.
