It is difficult to clearly define Rogers in a fixed position.
As with all players, getting the most out of them means appreciating the wide range of roles they can play. A player’s ideal role can also be changed by the formation of surrounding players and opponents.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery was instrumental in Rodgers’ huge transfer fee.
Emery’s system is built on defensive strength, often in a 4-4-2 formation off the ball. Villa spends a lot of time without the ball before attacking quickly into wide areas.
It’s a style of play that suits Rodgers, who combines impressive dribbling with outstanding athleticism.
Last season he generally played a 4-2-3-1 on the left side, narrowing in from the wing and leaving left-back to provide width.
From here, he often chooses to curl the ball towards the far post with his strong right foot, but just at the last moment he easily drags his shot inside the near post.
