Morgan Rogers

I'm not sure I've ever seen a footballer who is able to just run forward and make opponents bounce off him like he does. He reminds me of Jonah Lomu.

The rise of Morgan Rogers: ‘Unai Emery drags the best out of you – he battered me over one little thing’

Good to read thanks for pasting, I’d missed it.

A more skillful Yaya Toure.

Its great that we've been able to attract players like Asensio, and even Rashford, but I think when all is said and done, Rogers will be the player we associate with Emery's time here. I don't know how long he'll stay for, it depends on a lot of things continuing to go well, but from where he was, to where he is, and his continued desire to do everything Emery asks of him, I just think he's like the poster child for Emery's Aston Villa, and I think he'll be at club legend status if things continue in the direction we've been going.

The plan is surely to get at least one Rogers a season - young, bags of talent, someone with higher level of exposure and not all that expensive
Garcia could be that this season. Bogarde another.

Putting it bluntly as we are and will be behind others commercially we need to make up the shortfall by appreciating assets. Emery is one of the very best in world at doing so.

Only shame for him was that he was playing much higher than he does with Villa, consequently he wasn't getting the opportuntities to turn and make those surging runs from midfield.  Some good link up play, his awareness of teammates is great to watch.  It looked a simple pass but the timing and weight of ball in the second goal was spot on.

Agreed. Tuckel said he moved Rogers to the wing to give him a bit more space for those surging runs as midfield had become very congested.

Bellingham better beware, reckon Tuckel wouldn't hesitate in dropping him if he thought Rogers could do a better job in center midfield and was more of a team player.

I'd honestly rather have Rogers over Bellingham, who I think is an increasingly unlikable, overrated player.

Not his best game by his very high standards. But someone said on the match thread “Rogers is really shit”. I mean…he really isn’t.

[Somniloquism]

Didn't see that, only a "Rogers is sloppy" comment, but being as one or two who posted alot in the first half soon stopped posting after we were winning (apart from one aimed at Watkins), tells you more about them.

If he can sort his final ball out he will be some player.

It was there, but if you look at the previous post, it was clearly a joke.

Rogers is not being well served playing it on the right. The accommodation of Rashford and Asensio means some compromises...

Rogers makes mistakes because he’s always trying to make things happen. I’ll take that everyday of the week.

Yeah he’s a risk taker, you need one in your team.

Yes, someone commented that a player needs to be slagged off as it sometimes comes back to bite them on the arse, Rogers was the hopeful recipient on this occasion.
