Created our goal, should have done better with the other chance.

Created theirs too. Two assists today. His problem is there's nobody else around him to share the load. We rely far too much on him to create something. It must be exhausting.

On the whole he has been great for us this season and has done as much, if not more than anyone to get us into the CL spots.

I do think he will go at the end of the season as there will be multiple suitors, particularly if he has a good World cup.

If we can hold out for 90-100m and get Gibbs White for 60-70m, I would take it.

The BBC's match-report has a section about him that seems a bit... presumptuous:

Quote
Rogers is attracting a lot of attention and the growing expectation is he will leave Aston Villa in the summer.

Villa will likely need to sell a star player, regardless of whether they qualify for the Champions League, and Rogers is their best asset - especially with Boubacar Kamara out injured.

An impressive World Cup would also strengthen Villa's hand but the England forward needs to show more of a clinical nature throughout the pitch.

His second-half miss showed a lack of composure which has often hampered him this season, despite having slowly become one of the Premier League's top talents.

He still has 11 goals for club and country this season but none in his past 12 appearances, and if he is to earn a big-money move then he needs to show more consistency to prove he can make the step up.

Rogers is a good player but the lapses in his game mean he is not a great player yet.

At 23, time is very much on his side and the strides he has made under manager Emery in two years have been impressive - and at £16m he has been a bargain since joining from Middlesbrough.

Villa will make a healthy profit on Rogers - but he still has more to prove.

Don't Boro have a 20% sell-on clause?

If they do then the fee goes up 20%.

Perhaps this might have something to do with his indifferent performances of late:

Rogers apoearance today was his 100th for Aston Villa today  since the start of last season.

He is the first English player to do it across the top five leagues in Europe.

No wonder he's been looking knackered.
