The 2024/2025 Premier League season has become a tactical battleground where vertical progression and transitional threat are redefining success at the top level — this data analysis explains exactly how.

In this data analysis report, we focus on how Liverpool, under new coach Arne Slot, have reclaimed their dominance with a bold, direct style of play marked by quick transitions and vertical passes, representing a clear evolution from Jürgen Klopp tactics.

Morgan Rogers is an English talent who climbed the ranks of the England academy system, starting from West Bromwich Albion before making a £4.4m transfer from the U18 West Brom team to the U23 Manchester City team.

A hefty price to pay for a youngster who hasn’t played in the top flight yet.

Bouncing from club to club on loans from 2020, and then at Middlesbrough in the 2023/2024 season, he started to pick up more talk around his name before a move to Aston Villa.

So far, this 2024/2025 season has been his best and could be considered his breakout season.

Having played 4,233 minutes and 51 games, getting 14 goals and 13 assists, a total of 27 G/A, amazing for a player in his first-ever UEFA Champions League season and first full Premier League season.

Unai Emery is a great coach, and the system suits him well, which is certainly a reason for his success in the Aston Villa squad.

But without a doubt, Morgan Rogers is a superb talent.

In this player analysis, we’ll examine how he fits in the Aston Villa system and what position we think is best for him.
