I wonder what the business was with him screwing his face up at Watkins before the second half kicked off.

He's struggled on that right hand side as I think it negates his strengths.  Had a poor game yesterday and should have come off way before he did, but has had a good first full season for us.

Anyone who thinks Rogers has not been a good signing or is not a good footballer can't have been watching us very much.

I’ve watched him in every game this season. He’s had some great games but he also goes missing in many. So I conclude that he’s not as good as we think he is. Did he do anything of note yesterday?

In the 15 months since we signed him he's played nearly 80 games and has near universal praise for everyone. And he's still only 22. There's been some hot takes since the final whistle but Rogers not being very good will take some beating.

Sorry Brend but you using the term 'we' means that the rest of us should think the same as you.  Sorry, but I don't agree with you.

He's 22. He will go missing in games, players of that age tend to. He's not going to do it in every game. There's room for improvement obviously but overall, he's been a  superb signing.

No, the “we” is perfectly correct as most on here think he’s really great. I’m in the minority as I think he isn’t that great.

Tielemans did fuck all yesterday, doesn't mean he isn't very good. Unai had a mare, doesn't mean isn't very good. SJM, Bailey and Malen were the only ones to come out of yesterday with any credit, doesn't mean everyone else isn't very good.

Rogers would have a better chance of performing if we played him in his best position and weren't flogging him to death.

Great player for us but the lads running on empty and being played in the wrong position a lot of the time.

Rogers is the future of this club. He'll be wearing the captain's armband one day.

He’s generally one our best players, I struggle to agree with you on this one.

Rogers is a good player that has exceptional moments.
His potential is enormous but he has been overplayed recently.

That’s the price for European football. We need our best players and unfortunately if we could field players as good as Roger’s we would. The drop off is too much, same applies to Tielemans. Who can play that role at the moment other than him?

He will be a great player. As Bren says, he’s not great yet and his performances are mixed - some outstanding moments and some that cause us big problems.

I've got some sympathy with Ben's post, I was very worried earlier in the season we'd based our entire attacking strategy around a kid that had an explosive 6 months.

I felt that had been addressed with the winter signings but he's been flogged a bit of on the wing instead when maybe there were chances to avoid that with the work we'd done.

Don't get me wrong, he's capable of great things but I think we've pushed him a bit too hard too soon.
