Morgan Rogers

[Footy-Vill]

All Rogers goals so far have been at Villa Park .
3 goals in 11.
I expecting 10+goals from him this season in all comps but having yet to score away from home here’s hoping he does tonight as could be up front for part of the match.

I think Rogers is better playing as a 10 and more central than he is out wide or up front. I also encouraged by Emery words on him

‘He was performing very well last year. His adaptation was fantastic and he helped us a lot to be in the Champions League this year. The level he achieved last year with us, now the challenge is to keep it.

He’s a very, very good example for his team-mates, for the spirit we want. The young players like him need to be passionate but very demanding. Their mentality is very important and he has a very great mentality."

Quickly becoming one of my favourite players, he's an absolute joy to watch. Morgan was brilliant yesterday, our man of the match in my opinion. In full flight with the ball at his feet he's superb, and only going to get better.

I only saw highlights but there seemed to be several times where he just got the ball around the halfway line and ran straight at goal, their players just parting around him. A fantastic option to have when the tippy tappy passing isn't getting any results.

Rogers is going to be a 70m+ player veey shortly

[Steve67]

He’s a fantastic player and can play in anyone of the forward positions and, I guess, slightly deeper. I thought he needed a little bit more help with running off the ball around him yesterday from our left and right midfielders. Morgan is a brilliant player and one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

Funny thing is, I thought yesterday was a pretty normal game for him. Just shows how high his base-rate performance is now - like Bailey (though maybe less dramatic), he's gone from a player capable of great things to a player whose standard performance is top-six level.

I loved seeing him drive forward with the ball, similar to how Ramsey likes to.

Too often last season teams knew the ball was going out wide, with him driving they literally don’t know what to cover.

His driving forward with the ball after getting it on the turn is really exceptional (JJ is good at that too, which is great for us when playing against a team trying to press hard)

It’s not going to be long before we see players getting regularly booked for taking him out. It’s become increasingly obvious that if players let him turn and run, he’s going to travel a long way and potentially release the ball in a very dangerous position. Teams will counter that with, “if he turns you, take him out by any means necessary”

[Somniloquism]

When Ramsey came on, did Rogers move to the right of centre mid? The game plan looked to be 4-3-2-1 (or 4 2 3 1).

Maatsen, Ramsey, Rogers, Bailey is going to make a fair few back lines shit bricks this season

[Rigadon]

Currently my favourite player.  He really could be a top top player.

Developing into a bit of a fucking nightmare to have running at you is our Morg'

And then we bring on Ramsey, so we have two players doing it. It's almost cheating!

[The Charmer]

Pau's 50-yard glide wasn't too shabby either.

Still can’t believe they didn’t show a replay of that, his shimmy near the start was unreal.
