Style of play

Rogers is a versatile player who has primarily operated as a number 10 at Aston Villa [35] but can also play as a winger, striker or attacking midfielder. [36] He has received praise for his physical strength, [37] [38] [39] powerful runs, [37] [38] [36] tactical intelligence [40] [39] [41] and dribbling. [39] [36] His strength on the ball and dangerous runs have drawn media comparisons to Jamal Musiala and Ronaldo. [42] [43] In 2024, The Telegraph listed Rogers as number 21 on their list of the 30 best players in the Premier League. [44]

After scoring, Rogers will often celebrate by crossing his arms and rubbing his shoulders, a move his former Manchester City teammate Cole Palmer later made famous. [45] [46]
