Morgan Rogers

[Clark W Griswold]

I think you're talking fractions really but probably didn't help. Anyway, in the context of the game it doesn't matter, and i think if there are any rough edges to smooth then Emery and his team are the best people for him to be around.

[Goldie.7]

He should have buried his chance. He had a little look as to where he was going to put it just before the ball comes to him but doing that he took his eye off the ball and then ran slightly ahead of it. These things happen!

He gives me prime Ashley Young vibes, both were/are 21 when signing as well. No pressure then.

[Bad English]

My 'alternative method' of viewing was all over Minworth by the time Morgan got on. Good to know he made a quiet debut / was shite / should have buried his chance / did well having been thrown on with little time to take Emery's tactics on bord / was taking the piss; how much does he trouser each week for that?

It was noticeable that after that shot, Ollie went straight up to him with words of encouragement. Rogers will be a good signing for us, he's played for England at every age level, he's no idiot.

Watkins was just consoling his younger, taller brother after he spooned his shot literally into Bramall Lane out the back

Good to see him get some minutes, should have marked it with a goal. Nice run to be in the right spot though.

Yeah, it was a shame.

I wonder how we’d all be feeling about him if it had been 0-0 when he missed that one and more importantly how he’d be felling himself.

Certainly would not have been pulling up any trees.

Zaniolney won't get a wiff of a game now unless Watkins or Rogers get injured. Rogers might be used out wide from time to time

[chrisw1]

I think we may ease Rogers in a bit more slowly.  It will be interesting to see though.

How many games has Zaniolo got before the option to buy is triggered?

How many games has Zaniolo got before the option to buy is triggered?

By my reckoning he could play all the rest of the games this season, bar one, and it wouldn't trigger the option. As it sounds like he's going to be out for a while now, I think that it's something Emery won't have to worry about, ie he'll be able to play him when he likes when Zaniolo returns, and then decide whether he wants him or not without having a compulsory clause to worry about.

Yes but that wasnt the scenario , seems abit unfair ,  but i would sell him   ,  First !

[Clark W Griswold]

Had it been 0-0 he wouldn't have been on the pitch i'm sure. I'd say after only being at the club for 3 days and not playing in the PL before Emery wouldn't have put him out there in expectation of turning itt. I think we'd have stayed as we started till quite late and then the likes of Moussa and Ramsey would have come on to try to get the late goal.

Agreed, the minutes were a bonus and I'm sure valuable experience.

[DrGonzo]

Absolutely, you can imagine the nerves before making your first PL start, especially at a new club with all that entails.  Having the luxury of being able to come om in that position is a bonus.  Let's hope the next strike is a few metres lower.

‘Zaniolney’. Childish, but I like it.
