Why we're more EXCITED about Morgan Rogers than ANY other Villa player

Published 2024-07-27
Morgan Rogers is bloody good isn't he? That's the main takeaway from this podcast.

We get asked so often in our Q&A episodes about Morgan Rogers, but rather than give him a 5 minute answer and move on, we've dedicated a whole 20 minute chat about him. This kid is special, and Unai Emery is only going to make him even better.

    He’s straight in my fpl team for the season
  • @Stevie-V
    In addition to Morgan Rodgers I think the whole squad is very exciting! Can't wait for the season to start and also looking forward to watching the next 5 pre-season games UTV
  • @imranhaa
    The way he manages to skip past a player so effortlessly is what's so impressive. Especially as he is a big lad, it just comes naturally to him. I think he's going to take his football to another level next season
  • @ljm2514
    Rodgers being 5m on fantasy is a cheat code. He'll be in my team the whole season
  • @Huskyhavock
    Soon as I saw him last season I was shocked how cheap we got him he needed some time with the defensive press you could see guys gesturing to him But with the ball he just moves so solid and retains so well lovely shot smart runs
  • This is Morgan Rogers official full break out season , We all know he has got massive potential and now the whole country is going to see it but then the pressure is on
  • Hi guys I know I upset you complaining about lack of content the last couple of weeks,but this is the reason I was complaining today's podcast top notch I was just missing more of you guys, you got me wrong I love the channel,utv
  • MY BIG PREDICTION - I think because of his size and ability and just calmness around the position box I think he will out perform Watkins for both GOALS and ASSISTS !
  • @wilmavfc5323
    I think Rogers and JJ will play so well together, could be really exciting
  • Looks really strong ,dangerous going forward --- and young !! And Villa's !
  • rodgers,, in his first 3 or so games he had 3 sights on goal and got 3 shots away on target,, i just knew he was going to nic a few goals,, and his game has really come on, the move into the center could well suit us and him but again that flexibility is so important over a long seaon,, he is far from the finished article but you just feel we bought a gem here
  • If we want 40 million for Duran then how much for Rodger’s..?
  • @bkkvilla
    I see a bit of Stan Colymore in Rodger’s.

    Given that we've continued to setup as 4-2-3-1 during pre-season so far, it appears that Rogers will be vying for the no. 10 position with McGinn. He's played every minute of his roughly 195 minutes in that position, albeit without McGinn being available yet. I see Ramsey and Philogene on the left, and Bailey and Buendia on the right. If (or when) Duran goes, it seems that Felix will be his replacement to share the centre forward role with Watkins. Given the players we have there is clearly a lot of interchangeability there though. I see Tielemans and Barkley as vying for the old Douglas-Luiz role further back, although when Kamara is fit again Onana could play alongside him and push forward. The squad is probably the best there's ever been in the modern era. UTV
  • @realvilla
    Imagine if Rogers can take a penalty too!
  • @Phil-cp3de
    He has got the lot to be a top top player 👍
  • @Paul-vl2wg
    I thought you meant PL player of the year. Now that would be a good season👍👍🙏
  • Think Rodgers will be Villa’s breakout star. That is, by the end of this season he will be a full international and he’ll be linked with Chelsea and Real Madrid next summer for €100mill. But also super excited to see what Philogene can do. And, bizarrely, think I Barkley will be our best midfielder player.
