Match of the Day analysis: Rogers 'confusing' but 'special' free-kick technique

Match of the Day pundit Joe Hart has identified Morgan Rogers' free-kick technique as 'confusing' yet 'special'. The Aston Villa midfielder stunned Leeds United with a stunning strike from 20 yards out, leaving many to question how he managed it. According to Hart, Rogers' unorthodox approach to the ball is often misunderstood by fans.

'Rogers uses an unusual angle and trajectory when striking the ball,' said Hart. 'He drops his shoulder down low and strikes with the laces of his boot, rather than using his instep like most players.'

This technique appears to be paying off for Rogers, as he netted twice against Leeds United, including the aforementioned free-kick. The former England goalkeeper praised Rogers' composure in front of goal.

'Morgan stays calm and focused, even when faced with a wall of defenders,' said Hart. 'He knows exactly where to strike the ball to achieve the desired result.'

While some may find Rogers' technique perplexing, Hart believes it's an asset that sets him apart from other players.

'Rogers' free-kicks are special because they're not just about raw power - he has a great understanding of the trajectory and spin required to bend the ball past even the most determined defenders,' said Hart.

Despite his impressive strike against Leeds, Rogers is unlikely to become a regular threat for Villa from free-kick situations. However, his unorthodox technique does make him an intriguing player to watch.
 
๐Ÿคฉ I mean, can you imagine being in Morgan Rogers' shoes? He's like a magician out there with that crazy free kick technique of his! Joe Hart says it's 'confusing' but I think it's genius ๐Ÿค“. Who needs the same old power shot when you can curve the ball around defenders? ๐Ÿ˜Ž It's all about finesse and control, you know? And let's be real, who doesn't love an underdog story? Rogers might not become a regular threat from free kicks, but his weirdness is what makes him exciting to watch. Plus, it's awesome that Hart recognizes his skills and is giving him the props he deserves! ๐Ÿ™Œ
 
man rogers' free kick technique is wild ๐Ÿคฏ i mean, who drops their shoulder down low like that? but you know what joe hart said and i kinda agree with it... it's not just about brute force, its about finesse and knowing where to strike the ball ๐Ÿ˜Ž also, morgan's composure in front of goal is insane ๐Ÿ’ช his confidence is unshakeable, even when faced with defenders who wanna block his shot. he's like a free kick ninja ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ would love to see more of him on the pitch ๐Ÿ‘
 
๐Ÿคฉ I'm loving the creativity of Morgan Rogers' free kick technique! ๐ŸŽฏ It's so cool how he drops that shoulder and uses the laces on his boot to strike the ball in a way that most players don't. ๐Ÿ’ฅ The fact that it's not just about brute force, but more about understanding where to place the ball for maximum effect is genius! ๐Ÿค“ And I love what Joe Hart said about Rogers staying calm under pressure - it's all about confidence and composure! ๐Ÿ˜Ž What's next for this Villa midfielder? Maybe we'll see him take on the Premier League from free kicks soon... โšฝ๏ธ Can't wait to watch more of his unorthodox style in action! ๐Ÿ“บ
 
๐Ÿค” I mean have you seen this kid's free kicks? They're like something out of a video game! ๐ŸŽฎ I've been saying it for ages, but Joe Hart is right - Rogers' technique is definitely... unusual ๐Ÿ˜‚. But seriously, the lad's got skill for days and his composure in front of goal is top-notch. It's all about finesse, you know? The angle, the spin, the whole nine yards ๐Ÿ”„. And I gotta say, it's refreshing to see a player who doesn't just rely on raw power ๐Ÿ”ฅ. He's like a magician out there with that ball โœจ. Of course, we won't see him taking free kicks all the time for Villa, but still, it's worth watching him try ๐ŸŽฏ.
 
idk why ppl r so confused by morgan rogers' free kick technique ๐Ÿค” lol what's confusing about it? isnt it just part of the game now? like joe hart said it's special bc its not just about raw power, its about control & finesse... but at the same time, isnt that kinda boring? i mean, cant he just use a more conventional method like everyone else? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ on the other hand, rogers' composure in front of goal is def something to be praised ๐Ÿ˜Š
 
I mean, have you guys seen Morgan Rogers play? ๐Ÿคฏ He's like a magician out there! I was watching the game with my friends at school and we were all like "how did he even get that ball in?" ๐Ÿ˜ฒ And then Joe Hart said it's because of his weird technique. Like, I get it, not everyone is gonna be a free-kick master like Messi or something ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

But what's cool is that Rogers has got this calm vibe around him when he's taking shots. He's not all nervous and flappy like some other players I know ๐Ÿ˜…. And Hart said it's not just about the power, but also about knowing where to strike the ball so it curves past defenders... yeah, that makes sense ๐Ÿค”.

I mean, Rogers might not be a regular threat from free-kick situations, but he's still fun to watch and his technique is definitely unique. I'm all for trying out new things in PE class too - who knows what kind of cool shots we could come up with? ๐Ÿ˜„
 
Omg I'm loving this new talent Morgan Rogers has! ๐Ÿคฉ His free kick goal against Leeds was insane! I mean, who else can just chill and hit the ball like that? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hart's saying he's got a special technique but honestly it looks kinda crazy. Like, why not just use the laces like everyone else? ๐Ÿ™„ Still, if it works for him, right? The guy seems super calm and focused, which is impressive. And yeah, his goal against Leeds was so cool! Can't wait to see more of this from him ๐Ÿ‘
 
ugh another player with a weird way of scoring goals ... joe hart thinks its 'special' but i'm like what about the rest of us who dont have a clue how hes doing it ๐Ÿคฏ the fact that he drops his shoulder down low and hits with the laces is defo not natural ๐Ÿ™„ and yeah good on him for staying calm in front of goal, but what about when he misses? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
 
Wow ๐Ÿคฏ! I'm loving this guy's free kick technique it's so cool how he uses that weird angle and laces his boot to get the ball bending like that ๐ŸŒ It's like he has a magic trick or something! Interesting ๐Ÿ‘€, Joe Hart is totally right about him being special - I mean, it's not just about smashing the ball with power, it's about finesse and control ๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
I'm not buying it. This 'unusual angle' and 'trajectory' he's got goin on just sounds like fancy footwork ๐Ÿ˜’. I mean, anyone can use the laces of their boot if they've got practice in, right? It's not exactly rocket science. And what's with all this fuss about 'composure' and 'focus'? You think it's that hard to stay calm under pressure? ๐Ÿ™„

And let's be real, he only scored twice against Leeds. That doesn't exactly scream 'special technique'. I'm sure most strikers could've hit the ball from 20 yards out if they'd put their minds to it ๐Ÿ˜’. It's all just a bunch of hype and media attention. The fact that Hart is touting him as some kinda genius just makes me skeptical ๐Ÿค”.
 
I'm not buying into the 'special' label just yet ๐Ÿค”. The fact that he's getting decent results doesn't necessarily mean it's genius, just luck... and a lot of practice. I mean, we've seen players with similar skills bomb out or completely miss targets when under pressure ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
 
omg did u see that goal by morgan rogers tho ๐Ÿคฏ! joe hart said his technique is confusing but special lol what's not to love about a player who just goes for it and scores goals like that? ๐Ÿ˜‚ i'm loving the unpredictability of it all, makes football so much more exciting! ๐Ÿ’ฅ and yeah idk if he'll become a regular threat from free kicks but i'm happy to watch him try ๐Ÿค”
 
๐Ÿคฏ what's up with this new kid Morgan Rogers? like I get it, he's got skillz and all but that weird free kick move of his is straight up confusing ๐Ÿ˜‚ i mean who drops their shoulder like that?! but at the same time i can see how it might be special in a way... him staying calm and focused is key, thats for sure. but I still dont think hes gonna be a regular threat from dead balls lol ๐Ÿคฃ
 
I think what makes Morgan Rogers' free-kicks so fascinating is the way he challenges conventional wisdom about the ideal technique. Dropping his shoulder and using the laces of his boot to strike the ball is a bold move that requires immense composure and focus. It's not just about brute force, but rather an intricate understanding of spin and trajectory that's required to bend the ball past defenders ๐Ÿค”. What I find particularly interesting is how this unorthodox approach allows Rogers to stay calm under pressure, which is no easy feat for any player, let alone from a free-kick situation.
 
I'm loving Morgan Rogers' set pieces! I was totally confused when he scored that free kick from 20 yards out ๐Ÿคฏ, but Joe Hart makes total sense now. The way he drops his shoulder and uses the laces on his boot is genius ๐Ÿ”ฅ. It's not just about brute force, it's all about finesse and trajectory. And can we talk about how calm and focused Rogers stays under pressure? ๐Ÿ˜Ž He's got a special gift for those free kicks and I'm excited to see what he does next! ๐Ÿ‘
 
OMG u guys! ๐Ÿคฏ I was watching this match of the day thing and Joe Hart said Morgan Rogers' free kick technique is like...confusing but also special lol. I'm like yeah I get it joe, his angle and trajectory are def not for everyone. But honestly I think its kinda genius? Like who else can make a goal from 20 yards out with no one even touching him ๐Ÿค”.

I love how Hart said he drops his shoulder down low and strikes with the laces of his boot, that's so different from what most players do. And its not just about raw power like some ppl think, Rogers actually has control over where he hits the ball which is really cool ๐Ÿ’ช.

I don't know if I agree that he won't be a threat from free kicks but idc I love watching him play! He's got this calm and focused vibe when he's in front of goal that's so inspiring ๐Ÿ˜Š
 
omg i'm loving morgan rogers' style on the pitch ๐Ÿคฉ! joe hart's breakdown of his free kick technique makes so much sense ๐Ÿค“ - that low shoulder drop and laces strike is pure magic โœจ. i mean, it's def not for everyone, but when you see him net those goals from distance, you're like "wait what?!" ๐Ÿ™ˆ. i think rogers' calmness in front of goal is a major key to his success - he's got that cool composure that lets him execute his unorthodox technique flawlessly ๐Ÿ˜Ž. don't get me wrong, i wouldn't want to be the goalie facing him from a free kick ๐Ÿ˜‰ but as a fan, it's exciting to see something new and unique on the pitch ๐Ÿ’ฅ!
 
I'm tellin' ya, it's crazy how some players just do their own thing on the pitch! I mean, Morgan Rogers is like a one-man circus out there ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ. His free-kick technique? Special, yeah... but also kinda confusing ๐Ÿ˜‚. I was watching this match against Leeds and I'm thinkin', "How does he even do that?" He's like a magician or somethin'! ๐ŸŽฉ

But you know what, Joe Hart's right on the money โ€“ it's all about finesse, not just raw power โšฝ๏ธ. Rogers is like a surgeon out there, pinpointing his target and strikin' with precision ๐Ÿ”ช. And that composure in front of goal? Unbeatable ๐Ÿ’ฏ.

I'm not sure if he'll become a regular threat for Villa from free-kicks, but man, it's fun to watch him try! He's like a puzzle piece that doesn't quite fit... and I'm invested in seein' how it all comes together ๐Ÿงฉ.
 
I gotta say ๐Ÿค”, I'm still confused about this whole 'dropping shoulder' thing ๐Ÿ˜‚. Like, how do you even train that? It's not like it's some new move or something... ๐Ÿ™„. And what's up with the laces vs instep debate? Can't they just agree on one way to kick a free-kick? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Still, I gotta give credit to Rogers for pulling off those crazy strikes ๐Ÿ˜ฒ. Maybe his technique is just plain weird and that's what makes it work ๐Ÿ”ฎ? At least Hart thinks he's special or whatever ๐Ÿ’ช.
