Morgan Rogers

[OCD]

It's a Villa tradition to fuck up spelling players names as seen with Davis/Davies and Clark/Clarke.

He reminds me a bit of Trevor Brooking.

He reminds me a bit of Trevor Brooking.

Quicker though?

[WarszaVillan]

He's quickly becoming my favourite player I love his directness. He reminds me of lead character out of This Town, I bet he writes poetry too.

[chrisw1]

I thought This Town was a bit weak really.  Was disappointed.

I wonder how you actually go about analysing how quickly a player will adapt?

It’s what Unai said, and I guess he knows what he’s looking for.
He appears to be correct, too 👍

I wonder how you actually go about analysing how quickly a player will adapt?

I was wondering the same. And also what happened with Tielemans and Zaniolo where it took  most of the season for them to adapt even a bit.

Although maybe it was a case of a January signing needing to hit the ground running so they factored that in more than they would in the summer.

I expect Tielemans was dropped in the team early and in a position not specifically planned for with the Buendia injury. I suspect he might have been bought in as more of a backup for Luiz. Same with Zani as well, a fast sticking plaster for the same position. Rogers on the other hand seems to have been factored as a Ramsey replacement and I suspect they had a good month to analyse him and his style of play before the bids went in.

However I think recent Emery quotes actually have them surprising the team on how fast he is getting upto speed.

Morgan Roger scored an excellent strike and goal. Three out of three at Villa Park!
His performance up to the goal was quite poor, mainly his passing accuracy, and he appeared to look like a raw and inexperienced player.
That was the main drawback of being a young player, but he has proven himself worthy of being in the starting eleven because he possesses true ability and finishes with style. It'll all come down to consistency, as he can power his way forward and is incredible to watch and gives great anticipation something will happen any time on the ball.

And it was a great little tribute to Cole Palmer way he celebrated with the cold celebration!!

The youngest ever Villa player to score in 3 successive home games in 150 years of our history!!
Wow!!

[Beard82]

He does need to stop that silly celebration

Ie by changing it to something else not by stopping scoring

Wow!!

The stat is since football began on 92. It might be true in our whole history but Brian Little and Gary Shaw both were teenagers for scoring loads so they might have done that.

Brilliant since he’s joined us, and a lovely finish - the only thing, and I’m sure it’ll come, but he has to get better at the defensive side. It’s very easy to get past him, and run off him. It’s why Chelsea got so much joy down the flank.

[Footy-Vill]

He was giving the ball away constantly.
A good player clearly but was loose in possession time and again and will have to improve, which he will, in his standards.

[Goldenballs]

He should've closed down Gallagher, was just ambling in his general direction.

He's much better central I think. Surprised Emery didn't switch it up and played him up near Watkins like at Arsenal. Bailey would have worked harder on the left to help Digne.
