Morgan Rogers

[ChicagoLion]

i think Bailey last 2 games has shown improvement, not as good as when he was flying last season but getting there.
Rogers needs resting.

[LeonW]

Rodgers needs a spell out. I can’t work out whether we’ve suddenly become so reliant on him by design or because he’s shown a tremendous talent of ball carrying and in stepping up to the EPL

[ROBBO]

He's a young player who has had the heat turned up on him, Oppositition are targeting him and I see a player trying too hard. Give him a rest on the bench for a few games, bring him on the last twenty minutes when the opposition are tiring.

[eye digress]

And yet, you’d bet your bottom dollar Unai will keep him in the first XI. Bit like Bailey, he may need to play through the bad spell.

Rodgers needs a spell out.

I don't know about that, he is doing fine since returning to Celtic.

Interesting comments from Unai on Morgan being tired and a full opportunity possibly coming Buendia's way. These weren't said in the broadcast presser yesterday, Brum Mail getting some decent quotes for once:

Morgan, his qualities are very important for us," Emery admitted. "He can play left side, a number 10 inside. Of course, after Ramsey’s injury, we need to add some players performing in the same way like Ramsey and Morgan.

"The next one is Emi Buendia. He is progressively getting better after being out for a long time injured. He is working every day. The process he is doing, he is close to being completely comfortable to play in everything.

"In case Morgan Rogers is getting or needing some change [rest], we have to try and use Emi Buendia and try to get from him the performances we need. We are trying it in the training sessions and we are giving him minutes in matches.

"We have ways to try and replace him [Rogers], but at the moment he can feel tired, but he has to rest and he has to sleep very well! He has to eat good food and he has to be ready."

[Hookeysmith]

Could that be a little signal from Emery that the young boy is not refuelling as well as he should or taking the necessary early nights?

I saw Rogers and Duran pre warm up sitting together and ac ting like kids, flicking each other and showing each other clips on their phones. Then i realised they are kids aged 22 and barely 20.

Must be difficult to get them to focus and do the right things - maybe that why so many promising players do not make the final step into greatness

[Risso]

Well, the new hair don't had the desired effect!

[eamonn]

Yeah! Like when Mark Draper bleached his blonde and er...scored against Spurs on Boxing Day 1997 (4-1 win, Collymore's free-kick goal and false dawn).

Not a false dawn for me. I’d just split up with my first baby mother and stepped into a happy new life. That was my first game as a newly-single man.

Great goal by Morgan.

[frank black]

Did brilliantly last night, did well to find some space, which he definitely needs. Other teams have prevented this paying him close attention. Brentford's midfield was so poor.

Hopefully he has a nice run of form now.

[JUAN PABLO]

Didnt want him starting last night , have to eat my words , he was very good. 

[ChicagoLion]

Not sure about the fingers in the ears goal celebration.

[PeterWithe]

Not sure about the fingers in the ears goal celebration.

Yes, I was going to mention that, he played very well, but he's been a little lucky to stay in the team and attracted some very mild criticism online, none at all down the match. When you are on the kind of contract he's just signed, he'll need to get a far thicker skin.

Any road, at times, like Gerrard (the player) again, excellent.
