However, it was a frustrating afternoon for Rogers who was unable to get into the game during his time on the field.

Emery decided to substitute the 22-year-old in the 57th minute, leading fans to claim that any comparisons with former Villa star Grealish must now stop.

Rogers made just 19 tackles throughout his performance and ended up being taken down four times by Bournemouth players.

The attacking midfielder won just 14% of his ground duels and failed to make a single tackle as he struggled with the defensive side of his duties.

Aston Villa fans don’t want to see Morgan Rogers compared to Jack Grealish

Rogers may be a current Villa player, but their supporters do not believe he has reached the level Grealish was at during his spell with the club.

The Man City winger made 213 appearances for the club, scoring 32 and providing 41 assists before moving to Pep Guardiola’s side.

Rogers had been compared to him by some fans, but his “poor” performance against Bournemouth has led to people calling for it to end.
