Losing Rogers was huge for me. Huge signal of direction from the club and dreadful decision which I argued against at the time. Pace, presence, was full of confidence. Technically better than any other in the final third. On a strong upward trajectory. Most importantly, created chances. By...

Yes, spitting feathers!

Was talking about myself. He clearly was talented and needed time to settle. Clearly technically good with a footballing brain. Regards you lot moaning about him, schteve McLaren was right. 😉

Not true. Backed him from first game. Talent was obvious

🤦wehey a poultry 10 mil profit with no guarantee we will replace him with same quality. If it was that easy to replace villa would have grabbed the next potential. When you catch one you have to milk it. Sold far far too early and for too little. Summer would be more money, helps us for rest...

Not wild if you can see the ability. Depends how you rate the player I guess. But to me he clearly has in terms of creativity and a football brain what a lot of our team don't. Not always easy to replace. Ramirez Tomlin type players. Half a dozen more players more valuable? In terms of...

The contradictions are hard to understand. If Alex Scott was only worth X amount because he'd played loads more games, or Bowen because he'd scored more goals, the think about it a little bit. He's just started playing, what? 15 games or something? So why take 15 million. He's clearly going to...

But Boro fans say we take anything over 10m !! 🤷

The howson flip flopping from centre mid to centre back was as big an issue for me first half. Hope we don't try that again. Everytime he stepped up the gap between fry and vdb was too big. With the over playing we take it too far at times. There's a balance, we overdid it against much better...

Or just keep him unless we get 20 million plus. Even Gary Neville can see it's cheap and he hasn't seen anything other than tonight. We are soft as sh** He was on his own tonight and scored a beautiful goal and nearly another. He will grow to be hugely important for us. He has a football...

Silly tactic with howson one minute a midfielder the next a centre half. Left a big gap right in front of glover as every time he stepped out the gap was too big between fry and van den berg. Add to that the over play and we were done.

Aston villa aren't stupid, our fans seem to be. Can't see quality when it slaps them in the face.

This tactical decision where howson is flexible and going from a midfielder in possession to defender without has killed us. Van den berg and fry are too far apart and howson keeps stepping out leaving a giant void to be exploited right in front of glover. Never again try this please. And...

Occasional flash that created the goal once again though, vision and back heel. That will only become more and more consistent. Yes you watch a different game. Thought him and hackney were both poor Saturday but his poor has still created another goal. Quick feet and quick thinking in the head...

Did you like that setups for the coburn goal where he lifted it over the keeper a few weeks ago? That absolutely perfectly weighted outside of the foot ball from a really straight angle, which he had the vision to see in real time and weight absolutely perfectly beyond to the defender but slow...

Definitely agree at this point hackney more valuable. Proven it for longer and crucial given our midfield situation. I just think you have to pick and choose who to hold out on, who are those big players and who to sell. If we are trying this model, then you'd hold rogers based on...

Well I personally think that insane. If the club know his ability level and his potential and they consider at that price, knowing he's potentially worth much more then that's weak and the model will not work. We are meant to be putting ourselves in a position of strength not weakness caving...

Creativity. Chances he creates. Technical ability. What's his goals per game compared to Tav? Either way, type of player he is indicates his potential output in goals department is greater than Tav although Tav may have more at this point as Rogers only just playing regularly. Both hadn't...

Some really staggering views on Rogers on here. Genuinely shocked at some of the comments!! You could see within ten minutes of the lad stepping onto the pitch he was technically superb. Yes he's raw, and has some ups and downs, but his potential is high. That touch and lay off for the goal...

It was always going to take time. This has been quicker than I expected so I still expect from to be up and down. But there's competition, real competition. Technically good signings who are getting better, more confident and more attuned to how we play. .but more than anything, there was...
