Morgan Rogers

Sorry guys - Collymore was dreadful for Villa, having not been all that great at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA', helped cost Little his job.

Morgan has already contributed far more as a 21-2 year old in 7 months than motormouth Stan who was at the top level largely a media hype in too many respects ever will.

Morgan's first touch is far superior. He has 3 meaningful goals and will get better,.

 “I grew up playing for West Brom, and Wolves weren’t a team I was a fan of It’s no different now. I want to beat them as much as anyone. Myself and Jacob, being from the area, it’s a big game for us. We’re going to have to dust ourselves off and go again.”

Today is the day isn't it for Morgan Rogers to score his first this season..he has the extra motivation!

Or he'll play like Onana did against Everton and get hooked at half time.

Do think it's suddenly going to click for Rogers at some point soon.

Keeps making great runs, but the end finish or pass isn't quite happening yet.

With Bailey back it may be Rogers drops to the bench today

[PaulWinch again]

If he does it’s due to rest, because he’s playing well.

Can't see it. I think Bailey will be saved, even if he is fit to start, and will come on for John McGinn on about 70 minutes.

That’s my expectation too. I imagine Bailey might be given a run on Tuesday along with Buendia.

I agree with Risso.

I forecast he will be scoring today.
He's extra motivated.

[Risso]

Well stats fans, there you go, two assists. And another wrong prediction from Footy.

[robleflaneur]

He was awful in the central position but when he switched to the wide position instead of JJ he was amazing.
Never seen such a transformation of a player's form within the same game.

That Boy Can Play.

When interim manager Lee Carsley announces his next England squad on Thursday, there will be plenty of Aston Villa supporters looking out for the name of Morgan Rogers on the list.

The 22-year-old began 2024 playing in the Championship for Middlesbrough but, in a whirlwind nine months, he has become a mainstay of the Villa side that is competing in the Champions League and is once more stationed near the top of the Premier League table.

"That's how quickly football can change," Rogers said in an interview with The Guardian in August., external

"It is mad to know where I've got to in a short space of time but that is also what motivates me to think: 'Where can I be in another year or three years?' I don't just want to stop here."

Rogers has impressed many observers in the early weeks of this season, scoring twice for England Under-21s in the most recent international break and netting his first club goal of the campaign in Villa's 2-2 draw at Ipswich on Sunday.

Is a first senior international call-up set to follow?

Not sure he's quite ready yet for a full call up. Thought he was hit and miss today, like a lot of them .
