Morgan Rogers

[BC54 VFC]

I'm afraid that Morgan Rogers is quickly turning into Jude Bellingham Mk II. His England call up came at exactly the wrong time. He would have been better off spending time at Bodymoor Heath learning how to pass a ball.

[OzVilla]

He was poor and has been for a few games. Hype generally gets to all but the really special and maybe our Morgan just needs to get back to basics, he's far too casual which gets him into trouble.

[Duncan Shaw]

He does need a break from the team I think, but there is not option but to play him at the moment.

[DB]

Recently he has turned back in to a Championship player. He had a few good runs yesterday but like Sat he was losing the ball a lot and trying passes that did not come off. Maybe he does need a breather.

A few weeks ago he was interviewed and said how Unai gives him the confidence and permission to "try things" in the final third.  The fact is, they're not coming off for him right now.  He's not become a bad player, he's just not quite clicking like he did.  But he was still a dodgy call from scoring the winner last night. I'm not sure we have a decent alternative on the bench without changing the way we play, but he could definitely do with some rotation.

Possibly when Onana is fit again, Emery could play Tielemans further forward like he did last season a few times. The only real alternative is Bailey, but his form has been even worse, and that bad form has gone on for a lot longer.

I think Tielemans further forward, in front of Onana and Kamara is our best short term plan, but we're hardly going to burn teams on the counter with pace, ae we? I think we really need to add more pace to our forward options and we need more options full stop.

[PaulWinch again]

We do the loss of Diaby’s pace has left a gap.

[London Villan]

Judging by Unai's reactions, it didn't look like he was happy with him "trying things" in the final third last night!

[AV82EC]

Morgs has had a stellar improvement since he joined earlier this year but some of that improvement is now plateauing and we’ve seen subsequent downturn in his form. He’ll get better again but I think a couple of games out to maybe sharpen up the body and mind maybe what he needs? However Emery has chosen to play Bailey back into form, our other underperforming attacking talent, so maybe that’s the route he’ll take. It’s a shame Ramsey is injured as that would be an easy swap to make.

Yes, we're incredibly one paced and that fact that the likes of Bailey will play it backwards more than he takes people on makes it easy for teams to get people back in numbers. As you said in the transfer thread, somebody with genuine pace should be a priority in the January window.

Finances may dictate that we can't, but I still think we could do with adding a top class number 10 and wide player if we are going to progress into the top reaches of the league again.

I feel that when looking around at the other teams in the top half that we're competing with we're well short on forward options and pace in comparison.

He has to stop playing the first pass he sees. It is usually the pass that the defender sees and wants him to make.

[VillaTim]

Think he just needs a breather and a re-set . He needs to work on ball retention and drawing fouls sometimes to take the pressure off
