Morgan Rogers' Rich Vein of Form Drives The Villans' Surprising Push for Glory
It was two months ago when Morgan Rogers stood on the Sunderland turf, appearing bewildered as Unai Emery berated him over failing to anticipate a through-ball. Back then, as the club endured a six-game winless run, doubts remained whether Rogers' form were a symptom or the reason for the side's more general malaise.
“As Rogers swept in his second… Emery ripped off his thick padded coat, spread his arms and roared.”
On Sunday, however, the sideline response proved to be far more favourable. As the England international swept in his second to reclaim his side's advantage, the boss tore off his coat, threw his arms wide and bellowed. Villa were on their way to a 10th successive win and having failed to win their initial half-dozen matches, now sit a mere three points off the leaders Arsenal.
Are They Serious Hopefuls?
That’s a rather hard question to resolve. History, a general sense of this institution, suggests not. Furthermore, their performances haven't been completely commanding in many games, even as the wins have stacked up.
As per statistical analysis, twice all season has the team posted an xG significantly higher than the opposition. For a team who have just won ten consecutive victories, Villa appear curiously susceptible – yet right now the tight outcomes are going in their favour.
The Rogers Recipe
The current approach appears to be to trade blows with rivals and then rely on their talisman to save the day with some crisp finishes. This occurred against Leeds, it transpired against West Ham, and it happened when facing United.
The initial strike came from a brilliant finish, curled precisely inside the goal frame from a wide position. His brace-completing goal acted as a somewhat messier replica of the opener as he pounced on a pass from Watkins.
“Perhaps Rogers’ right foot is becoming like Arjen Robben’s left: just because you know he’s going to whip the ball into the top corner doesn’t mean you can stop him.”
How Long Can This Continue?
Logic says not. During the latest victory, the opposition had more shots and more efforts on goal. Villa have secured their last eight victories by a single goal. They’ve conceded in all but one of those fixtures.
A reversion to average could be the greatest opponent Villa will encounter in the near future. Their key man, in all likelihood, cannot keep on thrashing his shots into the net's top corner forever.
Potential for Growth
Maybe there exists a different scenario whereby, instead of luck running out, the level of play rises to match the results. Vital cogs might still rediscover their best form.
- Ollie Watkins might resume adding to his goal tally.
- The attacking talent may rediscover the force he resembled at Borussia Dortmund.
- Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres are due to regain fitness, fortifying a periodically leaky defence.
Maybe within that lies the seeds for a sustained push, yet it seems unlikely can continue to depend solely on a single individual.
Savoring the Moment
But then, this was unforeseen. It seemed improbable Villa would be in the top three for the holidays. And without a doubt back in October, few could imagine the young forward as the year closed would be spearheading a championship pursuit while looking like an essential Three Lions star.
This winning streak must be cherished precisely because it seems so surreal. As the hero stood in front of the home supporters after the match leading the celebrations, it was clear to be relishing every moment. Which he fully merits. These spells are uncommon in the sport and must be appreciated.
