Morgan Rogers

[Matt C]

I think that was only his thirteenth Premier League game, incredible progress in such a short time.

[olaftab]

Yes Rice  picked up a yellow for trying but failing to stop him.

[Clampy]

It's interesting that Emery saw something in him but Guardiola didn't.

He probably did as he also did in Cole Palmer but in the end there is only so many nice toys you can play with.

Not enough to put him in the team and flog him for £50m

[PeterWithesShin]

Palmer wanted to leave, and for all the obvious jokes that can be made, Man City need sales for FFP same as everyone. If Rogers had stayed at Man City he'd rarely, if ever, have made it into their first team by now.

[Ger Regan]

He has everything but a final ball, if/when that clicks for him he'll be unstoppable

[jwarry]

I've probably said this before but the way Rogers moves with ball reminds me of prime Stan Collymore - can control it with either foot equally well and his physique allows him to protect the ball without being knocked off it. He managed to drag us up the pitch yesterday just by running with ball which is a very potent weapon in what is now called 'transition' or in old money counter-attacking.

That’s a good shout

To be fair, Ollie scores his sitter then we wouldn't be talking much about his lack of final ball!

Fair point.

I know there is a large dose of bias here, but how on earth is Jack Grealish in the England squad over Morgan Rogers?

[Percy McCarthy]

As an aside, the Athletic Villa coverage is so, so much better with Tanswell than Gregggggggg Evans.

Not just saying he's a better writer, but the variety of articles and the thought that goes in to them is on a different level. Although that may be down to other factors than the writer himself, but either way, the content is actually very good.

Yeah, he’s on a different level on tactics as well.

I agree but I'm glad Rogers isn't involved. I'd rather he focussed exclusively on us, given what we've seen so far, his chance will come.

[john e]

I’d like Rogers to be in for his own benefit and ambitions

But I’m not to fussed about him missing out if I’ve got my Villa hat on
His time will come

Same here. Wouldn't have been surprised if he were called up, but glad he isn't.

[Risso]

Who on earth is Angel Gomes? 🤷‍♂️

I actually expected him to be called up after his performance against Arsenal in front of Englands temp coach.
