Under Emery we've played hands down the most eye candy football I've seen in my 30 odd years of watching us. At times our passing and movement is breath taking.
3 weeks ago fans wanted him out, it shows how fickle and clueless modern football fans are. He's the best I've seen in my lifetime. Up the Emery and Villa!
Rogers and Duran seem to have a bit of a bromance thing going on, they link up well and vibe off eachother, i first noticed it back in August when Duran scored against West Ham. Both were wonderful yesterday. 4 goals in a fortnight for Duran.
@@lordvadertheleftie9703 but Rogers was nowhere near the player he's becoming, even when we signed him. Emery, the coaches, and Rogers himself, are clearly working wonders on the training pitch. They've also found his best position, for me
Set us up beautifully for a lovely Christmas! If we can find any kind of consistency the second half of the season, I think we’ll be happy with where we finish. Have a great Christmas Luke, thanks for all the content and your hard work. Bring on Newcastle and UTV!🎉
It's really smart of Duran, and/or the people around him, to say to him "build and develop a partnership with Rogers, not Watkins". It sounds obvious, but I believe that's where this is all stemming from. I noticed about 4 or 5 games ago that Rogers and Watkins don't have chemistry together. I'm not knocking either player, sometimes these things take a while, and sometimes they'll never happen. I'm not convinced that those two can maximise their abilities and potentials together as much as Duran and Rogers can, and are. Working with Rogers hooves Duran an extra dimension when it comes to selection. Nobody should pick a team sheet on name alone, nor individual form alone. It should be how the connections work, and what the chemistry is like. That's one reason I was so relaxed about Dougie leaving, his chemistry work his team mates was thin on the ground (some the first Legia game). To me, you can achieve a lot with average to good players if they have chemistry. Like Leicester in 2015
Surely Morgan is the secret love child of Zinadine Zidane?Power,skill under pressure,goals,a wonderful player.ZZ not bad either 🤗🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷Love from Brasil.Feliz Natal.
When Rogers is confident and his tail's up, he reminds me of Kaka. Similar physical profile, similar how he carries the ball brushing off tackles. Just needs to get his shooting boots on and start scoring from 20-30 yards like Kaka did. Also agree Rogers/Duran seem really close - and Onana as well. Trio of tight-knit lads.
What a performance from all of them but Rogers in particular. Gives me Carew and Atkinson vibes for strength and physicality. Thats going to give us tremendous amounts of confidence for Boxing day now. What a day. 💜
Every successful striker needs a partnership. And we have it with Duran and Rogers. If their friendship and link up keeps up like this. We can make top 5.
The set up worked well against city as the lineup city had lacked pace. Against a quick team out lineup may get exposed a bit more. Badly miss diaby and an on form Bailey as they had bit more pace and threat to add onto what we had/have
Evening Luke, I, like all Villa fans are “Purrrrrring” after yesterday’s performance and I mean performance! Yes we did change things, Villa played with a square four in midfield, a double, double pivot, with Onana and Kamara in front of the defence which allows the rest of the team to be offensive. This worked perfectly. An Emery master class. Rogers was a City academy player, I believe there have been a number of meetings in Manchester lately, discussing how he is now in a Villa shirt ? And to think that Duran very nearly joined West Ham in the closed season for 30 million ? How much are these two now worth ? Two of the most exciting young ballers in the world ?
honestly as long as our midfield remains injury free i absolutely cannot wait to see more of what we played against city. kamara and onana perfectly compliment eachother's weaknesses and make a formidable combination, mcginn is an absolute workhorse as ever and giving tielemans more freedom to roam higher and be more creative with both onana and kamara behind him for cover can only produce good results. honestly, this feels exactly like what emery has been aiming to build in midfield all along and it held up brilliantly under pressure
Thanks for your efforts this year luke, your a credit to villa mate. Great and honest comments in a sport that's so bias mate. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more great quality videos from the channel. Merry Christmas to you and your family and to the rest of the team. UTV ❤🍻🌲🥳
Rogers was unreal so good with Duran very exciting partnership Ollie’s got a job on his hands trying to get back in now exactly what was needed vamos Duran!!! delighted Louie Barry is coming back to actually train with the first team squad hopefully he’s another Roger’s 2.0 massive opportunity for Barry now to cement his place at villa, no doubting his ability can he make that next step? I really hope so UTV!!!
He was unplayable, absolute baller, tielmans was sensational, and john duran was immense. I think we can challenge for title next season with a couple of cute signings more. We looked shit hot. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If we could add to what we've got but unfortunately PSR will mean someone will have to go. It boils my wee it really does. Supported the club for 30+ years and we're finally in a place where we can actually do something special and the powers that be just tie us down financially.
@leejohnson3209 yes true mate, but we have got a couple players we can easily get rid off, buendia springs to mind, moreno, it won't affect us like it did at the start of this season, we have pretty much got what we need, just need another solid cb, and I think we are almost title challengers. 😉
@@JIMBEAN-b7i I can see Carlos being sold too... maybe we could cash in and find a cheap backup to replace him. I'd spend the big bucks on the right hand side. I think Cash has done well, but perhaps a top quality RB is needed. Bailey and Philogene aren't producing the goods so maybe a quality winger on the right too. Either or both of them could be sold to raise some money too.
As much as every villa fan loves our hero Watkins, Duran has to stay in the starting line up, Watkins needs to step back and build himself back up come back stronger, Duran is to in form he can not be dropped. Imagine we sold duran and Watkins was still out of form we wouldn't be in the position we are in today. The turn around of Duran is impressive. The team as a whole the starting 11 Vs man city is the best 11 I think. We will have ups and downs but what a rollercoaster ride we are on. Utv! Happy Xmas Luke what a year full of the best content I absolutely love this channel it's definitely my favourite from all villa channels. Good ebening 😍 sir emery the second you are 😂
One thing Luke with this formation. I think if we played it again it would be a PERFECT place to slot Leon Bailey in for John McGinn, maybe even for Tielemans. Bailey's left foot and the long passes he can make for crosses would be perfect, and at his best he will be a great finisher again. I think we could unlock the old Bailey if we did this and if he built a partnership with Duran and Rogers, as he has one with Tielemans. Either way feels like we have finally clicked here and we have options of different formations now. Thoughts??
It is so refreshing to see a baller that can run with the ball. Not since gazza have I been so excited when someone picks up the ball and charges forward.
He was awesome seems to have a great understanding with Duran too! Merry Christmas to everyone on the pod with you mucka. Have a brilliant time let's hope boxing day brings us a treat too.
@@UTVFANCHANNELOnana is a rough diamond. His technical ability needs to improve. He has a heavy first touch and his passes often innacurate. He's still young though. I trust Emery and the coaches to do their work with him. Rogers on the other hand, talk about an exponential improvement... he will only get better.
@@dontpanic5604 i think thats why he works so well when paired with kamara. kamara more than makes up for onana's current tehcnicial issues while onana's physicality and height back up kamara brilliantly. as you said as well onana is young so hopefully with these coaches he only improves and irons out the flaws in his game with time
Good afternoon. 2 quick points. 1. Morgan Rogers has shown a lot of potential. Like you said he is not a finished article, he will have good games and bad games. What i want to see from him is work on his finishing and be more clinical and to be more precise in his passing. I dont mind if he tries some difficult balls but sometimes he easily misplace an easy pass and we lose possesion. 2. The easy goals we concede. I m not talking about the one vs City specifically but overall. Yes we lose our concetration sometimes and especially in the last minutes this season (Bournemouth, Leipzig, Forest) and yes sometimes we have issues schematically but for me at one point the players need to take pride and be more into the game and aggressive. They need to have the will to have the pride to keep a clean sheet. With our style of play and our slow tempo sometimes i think our players get lazy and lack energy and urgency. Merry Xmas to all and Happy holidays from Greece. 😎✌UTV
Jack needs to take it . We are good friends but a bad enemy. If he comes back would support him . But he must think now what he left . Rogers will surpass jack as a player . Now we probably have the best two young forwards in Europe Duran and Rogers are potential world class and l predict Rogers will surpass probably the likes of a Bellingham as a number 10 in the future l rate him that high and his hunger is another level that was Rogers way of showing city how they treated him and disrespected him

@Rex_Colt yeah I know, that's just embarrassing.
rape isnt resistance lee

Partnership is growing
Sad for watkins? Time for him on RW?@UTVFANCHANNEL
Both a similar age too!
If they click off field they will on field which they clearly are. Two great signings from Emery .
Potentially our greatest manager and group of players and I'm 62 and followed the villa from the 3rd division and the 81..82 team UTV .
Rogers is a unique player, amazing transfer fee only a year back.
City spent 100m on Grealish when Morgan Rogers was in their academy. They then let him go for £1.5 million. That should be added to the charges 😂
Mad

Loved to see Youri more advanced. I want to see this midfield setup in more games going forward.
For real! That’s he’s prime position that number 10 role. Can see he loves it

So good mate
Apparently Grealish isn't getting "Cash" this Christmas
😂😂
No he's getting boooots instead. 🤭 I'll get my coat.
Absolute Baller, hopefully we can keep hold of them for a few more seasons💪🙏🙏💜💙🙏🙏💪
Christmas feels good doesn’t it.
It’s been a tough season so far, but hopefully now we can kick on.
Yessssssss feels good mate

Wonderful to watch
If we can hang on to our young talent like Rogers and Duran just wait to see how they link up in a couple seasons! Merry christmas Villa fans!
Literally 15 seconds before city scored, I was saying "now we just have to keep our focus and get that clean sheet". Literally 15 seconds 😅
Always the way
He was awesome seems to have a great understanding with Duran too! Merry Christmas to everyone on the pod with you mucka. Have a brilliant time let's hope boxing day brings us a treat too.
Love it mate
Great video mate. What’s going on with the Barnet? Looking like grizzly Adams 😂 happy Christmas 🍻
Haha growing it mate
Onana's physicality has been really missed I feel. With him and kamara infront of the defence I think a lot less goals will be conceded
Really like onana, hopefully can stay fit now

Thankyou mate have a great one
Merry Christmas mate UTV 💜💙
All the best to you mate
Rogers is the sort of player that makes you stand up when he gets the ball in the final third (if you’re not in the Holte end).
That Rogers pic is a reverse rondo, im not trapped in here with you, youre trapped in with me.
Must keep this same team and system for Newcastle match
I think so mate
There's a much better angle where digne stands on the ball, just 1 of those bad luck kinda things
Yes mate
Merry Christmas
So so kind mate thankyou
Who would take Rashford down the left?
Not for me, big problem
Totally agree with you Luke Morgan Rogers was unplayable he totally bossed Man City they couldn't cope with him. UTV
Class Darren
What a match McGinn what a skipper he is alive again UTV
He's improved massively his form
I think it's ok to say it with your chest, one of Watkins or Buendia should have fouled Savinho.
This-
Onana - Bouba
Tielemans
is the midfield we were promised
Kid is special. Really could go as high as he wants
What a player
We need good result against Newcastle .
This should be a chant: "Our 8 million, now worth 1 billion, morgan you're brilliant, he's one of ours!"
💜💜
Jack needs to take it . We are good friends but a bad enemy. If he comes back would support him . But he must think now what he left . Rogers will surpass jack as a player . Now we probably have the best two young forwards in Europe Duran and Rogers are potential world class and l predict Rogers will surpass probably the likes of a Bellingham as a number 10 in the future l rate him that high and his hunger is another level that was Rogers way of showing city how they treated him and disrespected him
Agree
This two at the back in buildup is what Liverpool did under Klopp. Gives you the extra man further forward.
Yes mate
Morgan Rogers was fantastic but he just can’t talk about Morgan. It was 11 players on pitch?
Yep spoke about them all on the match reaction and fan cam
Luke, I feel I need to base with you
Keep the same team against Newcastle next UTV
Yessss
I LOVE MORGAN ROGERS 😍🍔
💜
💜💙
Thanks Michelle
