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?

Where? On the right he is mediocre. Done great centrally with his stats.

We aren't doing much next season if our regular right hand side is Rogers and Disasi signed on a permanent at RB!

For last four games I want to see this front 4.......Malen------Rogers------Ramsey
                                                                                        Watkins

Maatsen at LB aswell please. Sorry to Unai if that isn't enough "control" for him but we need to be winning the last four to have a serious chance of CL.

I think Rogers is a player that has excellent moments in games, but in between those moments, can be a bit sloppy in possession, but he’s young and also is a risk taker, which all teams need.
He was awful yesterday and Tuesday and worryingly for me, was his body language on Tuesday at least was all wrong, could of got sent off and seemed to snub Emery when he came off. Maybe he’s just knackered and frustrated.

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

Maybe Ollie asked him if he fancied going to the boxing with him, Konzie and Rashy.

He's been a great signing and I agree that he is likely the future of the club but by God he has some stinkers. He can be incredibly lax in possession but I accept this is also a result of him trying to make things happen. I also agree that playing on the right doesn't help in this context because we're asking him to do too much defensively if we want him to be our attacking fulcrum.

Agree, it might come good given time but the moment fitting him and Asensio into the same team hasn’t been a great success.

Which is acceptable when he plays as a 10. As a right-side midfielder he has some responsibilities, like stopping wingers shooting from outside the box...

Perhaps, but that's on the manager and doesn't make him shit.

He's been running on fumes for the last three games and he certainly hasn't had his minutes managed. Rogers this season has two levels, genius and infuriating. The day he stops giving the ball away we'll have a £100m+ player on our hands.

Granted he didn't do anything on Saturday but neither did those around him. Around 75 minutes stats were shown on the number of  times our players had touched the ball in the opposition box, Watkins was behind Pau  Torres who had a count of two. I'm not blaming Watkins or any other player for Saturday, that responsibility firmly falls at the feet of Unai. He had a stinker. Everybody  paid the price.

He is far from shit. He has massive potential and has proved that he has the talent. Unsurprisingly at 22 he has to learn and develop parts of his game, but being flogged to death has caused his drop off in these last couple of games.

Hindight is great - but I wish Unai had rotated him and Asensio more over he last few weeks.

He’s so important to how we play. I can forgive him losing the ball when he’s taking people on and trying to break the lines. Ramsey doing this to a lesser extent and Bailey last year too, made our attacks much more dynamic. Otherwise the slow and controlled approach becomes a bit one dimensional and easy to set up against.

Some of his passing was woeful on Saturday… hopefully it’s just fatigue creeping in.

Although he has a lot of skill i actually think Ramsay runs better and more direct with the ball at his feet.

I do think that Rogers is trying to do a little too much at times and that is when he loses the ball.

Great player who surely will only get better but needs to make a position his own.

If he's fit, he plays every minute of every single game for me.

You're on the same page as Unai with that

He struggles on that right hand side as he hasn't got the electric pace to go past players on the outside and isn't particularly strong cutting in on his left.  He looks most comfortable on the left or in the 'number 10' role and I hope he moves back there sooner rather than later (although I accept we haven't had many other options on the right recently).
