The way he just had to look at the City players and they'd fall to the floor was brilliant. Morgan is very much back in form.

Wish someone would make a better song for him though, all I can hear (albeit from the tv) is the repurposed Ollie Watkins song.

He’s brilliant, I think today showed why we need to manage his minutes a bit more. He looked fresh and full of energy today.

He's had a bit of a dip recently (to be expected with young players new at the level), but he was superb today, especially in the 2nd half.  They had seasoned internationals who couldn't get near him at times.


Absolutely, and I’ve been pretty fierce in my defence of him, but we need to let him develop and have breaks at the right time. He’s exceptional.

We need to integrate Buendia more so he can challenge Rogers in a similar way to Duran and Watkins.  Ditto Maatsen and Digne.

When the squad has depth we need to rotate more.

I’d forgotten about Ramsey!  It’s his role to push Rogers and allow us to rotate.  Jesus we have a good squad.

His first touch was on point today. It often isnt. But when he gets that first touch right it allows him the space to do what he does best!

One of the most complete performance by a Villa player I have seen. He was magnificent today.

That run for the second goal, was just brilliant - and then the awareness to know his job wasn’t done, sensational.

In the first half the drop of the shoulder which done 2 City players was incredible.
Score one , make one and still not motm shows how good a team performance that was

That performance is what we all know he's capable of, which is why he has been frustrating at times. More of that and he'll be the first billion pound player (fuck you Giuseppe Savoldi).

He was absolutely outstanding wasn't he? MOTD normally pick out one player and go into detail about their play and I was covinced they were going to to that with him, he was that good.

Before the game the talk amongst my group was, would you swap Rogers for Grealish? The overwhelming response was a yes. After the game, everyone changed their mind. With that performance he’s as good as  Bellingham at his best. The great thing is…he can improve further.

I can understand why some fans might want him back but not at the expense of Rogers though, that's a bit weird.
