Morgan Rogers

Woeful. Absolutely  woeful tonight. No idea why emery waited so long to sub him. Thats on unai too slow to react

[PaulWinch again]

It should be said he wasn’t helped by Mings and Konsa basically putting up a flare over his head to illustrate they were going to pass to him, waiting about 5 seconds for Monaco to close the space, and then passing to him.

[Dante Lavelli]

Really bad in the second half, Unai was far too slow to react to that. He had evidently gone

There was another game recently where I thought he’d “gone”.  He scored/assisted shortly after but I still maintain his overall play was poor.  When Ramsey is on the bench you’d hope they could be more interchangeable.

Apparently Rogers was sick. Doesn't excuse the performance because giving simple passes away are a reoccurrence.

Then why play him?  Ramsey could have played.

He’s been ill a few times, and it obviously really impacts his performance. That’s fair enough, but the management need to deal with it better. We have other players, bloody use them. He’s brilliant, but he’s clearly not when he’s unwell.

A lot of post game excuses being thrown out. There was nothing stopping Emery replacing him far earlier.

It just does not make any sense, if he was sick then surely the bench would be watching to see if he was starting to wilt,WTF were they watching in the second half?
We were down to 10 men he was so ineffectual.

He's been sniffling and snuffling with that cold for the last few games now. A bit scary that Unai is so reliant on him.

[PeterWithesShin]

12 months ago he'd just drawn 1-1 at home to Rotherham in the second tier and lost 6-1 at Chelsea in the LC. Now he's scored a hat-trick in the Champions League.

[Tuscans]

Very good tonight. Some of his passing in many games has been shambolic but tonight he was top drawer.

[PaulWinch again]

He’s had a few down games, but he’s been utterly sensational.

[PhilVill]

Love him. Absolute star. He has a few stinkers but when he's on it, few can get close.

[paul_e]

He’s had a few down games, but he’s been utterly sensational.

He looked fitter, faster and stronger tonight than the last few games. I suspect the idea that he's bene struggling with a bug of some sort is pretty close to the mark. Despite that he's now got 6 goals and 2 assists in his last 9 games, which is not bad considering he struggled in a few games in that run.

[Somniloquism]

As mentioned in the match thread, our first Euro hat-trick since Shaw's.
