Bournemouth just couldn't cope with the movement and speed of the front four. Just a shame all four didn't score.

We don't miss Ramsey with him in the team.

I think that he is showing more and more each game.

Keep going.

I stick by this.

The scary thing is, he is no where near his ceiling.  He’s still really raw when it comes to game intelligence and fitness.

He’s not raw in terms of game intelligence. His understanding of the right option to take is exceptional.

Seems a long time ago since he got subbed on then off again. He's improving every game

A fully fit Ramsey was/is outstanding. We miss the option of not having him. Not to diminish Rogers but he’s benefitted from and taken full advantage of Ramsey being out.

TBF, he was brought on early due to injury. And was subbed off again more through a combination of tiredness and tactical changes. Not as bad as someone being brought on for tactical change, then subbed back off because they had a poor game.

Rogers worked under Pep at Man City and now Unai Emery. Two elite managers. Pep might come to regret releasing Morgan like he did with Cole Palmer at Chelsea. Rogers was excellent today. The guy is so strong and powers his way through the middle. They couldn't handle him today. A classy goal just at the right time time on the stroke of half-time. In Premier League terms, we've paid peanuts for him.

I agree when he has the ball.  Impacting the game more when out of possession is where I think he can improve but I’m being hyper critical. 
I certainly didn’t think we were signing a player that would be playing at this standard, possibly ever, let alone this quickly.

16 million quid. We've taken the absolute piss out of Middlesborough with that.

His strength on the ball is unreal. He just seems to glide across the pitch with it

Weren't Boro fans not that bothered about losing him? Or have I made that up.

He’s absolutely brilliant considering his age and how much top flight football he’s had. No one has mentioned his pass for Watkins in the run to the second goal. Magnificent is not an overstatement.

In general yes, but the brontebillys of their board knew he was a top player. They're pleased for him (think it's good for Boro financially due to the add-ons), are glad they got for 1.5m, but acknowledge we've underpaid for him.
