Morgan Rogers

[Dogtanian]

He played well, but he’s still very raw. His decision making will be worked on, both in positioning and in when to release the ball.

He did really well going past people and physically defending the ball, only to hold it a tad too long and miss the pass to continue the move. He wins the free kick, yes, but there are times when releasing the ball would have put us at a better advantage than a free kick well outside the area.

He’ll get better at that as he’s coached, and should progress a lot for next season.

I'd guess when we bought him he wasn't meant to be an important player this season. Between one thing and another he's played a fair bit already, and he's done alright. I've seen enough to make the decision to buy him make sense, and to make me quite excited about seeing how he develops over the summer.

He looks like he's really got something when he's carrying the ball but we need to think of his best position as that wasn't it yesterday, he switched off constantly and let the opposition overload Moreno. Promising though.

From what I've seen so far, I think the 'number 10' role would suit him perfectly.  He would be able to get on the ball in that area between the opposition midfield and defence and drive with the ball, which he looks good at.

There's definitely lots of potential to work on. He looks very strong physically. He burst past their midfield in one run, Sarabia ended up nearly pulling his shirt off his back and got booked.

The dude before Sarabia fouled him too.

I think that five minute passage of play summed up Rogers at the moment for me.

Dynamic & powerful running, showing lots of potential.

But defensively, he didn't track back enough & allowed Semedo to go past him & cause problems for Moreno.

But there is certainly something strong, powerful, with a touch of finesse to build on & a good pre-season with us should benefit him a lot.

Loved some of the runs he went on in the first half yesterday and the Wolves players could only keep pulling his shirt to stop him.

He looks like he's going to be a player once Emery's been to work on him.

I agree, I’ve got a very good feeling about him. He’s been asked to play a very different game at the moment but he’s settling in very well. I reckon further forward he’s going to be a massive threat.

Totally agree with these comments.I think Emery made a mistake,is that possible ?,starting Moreno and Rogers on the left.
Rogers on the ball,however,looked sensational.He will be very good  in a more advanced role.

[chrisw1]

He's very good at carrying the ball, but for me at the moment the rest of his game is just not up to scratch.  I'd prefer to start Zaniolo.

Is he here as the Ramsay replacement and to help with FFP?

I reckon he will lose a bit of his power as they increase his mobility.  If he can get involved more and offer better defensive protection then he could become a top player as he’s got the skills.

[Somniloquism]

Surely the ref should have booked both wolves players that pulled him back during the movement. After all he though the first one was a foul but because Rogers skilled out of it, he waved play on only for the second to pull him back.

No-one has really been able to properly replace Ramsey in that role so far.  There is, however, a certain player at another club who could be very suited to it.

That thought has crossed my mind too.
