๐Ÿ“ฐ Chelsea's record signing has given his own start full marks, even if the team's form has dipped. ๐Ÿ“Œ Key points ๐Ÿ”Ÿ Rogers rated his start at Chelsea a 10. ๐Ÿ’ท He joined from Villa for a British-record ยฃ117m. โšฝ His three goals and an assist trail only Joao Pedro (three goals, three assists). ๐Ÿ“‰ Chelsea are 10th after two wins followed by three without a win. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Their 12 goals conceded is the most in the league. ๐Ÿ“ What happened ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Speaking to The Standard during the international break, Rogers was asked to rate his start and said: "10 โ€“ I've enjoyed it. I'm feeling as good as I've ever felt. So why would it not be a 10?" He added that he wants to be "seen as one of the best players in the Premier League". ๐Ÿ’ท Rogers left Aston Villa for Chelsea this summer for a British-record ยฃ117m. He said he wanted to take the next step in his career and that Chelsea brings a different level of pressure, with the chance to play with and against the best players in the world. ๐Ÿ“ˆ His numbers back him up. Only Joao Pedro has more league goal involvements for Chelsea. Rogers has 18 in-possession runs ending in a shot, level with Cole Palmer, and 20 cross-option runs, among the league leaders. ๐Ÿ“‰ The team picture is less rosy. Chelsea won their first two games under Xabi Alonso but have taken one point from three since, losing 3-0 to Brentford before the break. They sit 10th and have conceded more than anyone. ๐Ÿ“Š By the numbers โ€ข ยฃ117m fee, a British record โ€ข 3 league goals, 1 assist โ€ข 18 in-possession runs ending in a shot, level with Palmer โ€ข Chelsea: W0 D1 L2 in their last three, 12 conceded (league high) ๐Ÿ”ญ Why it matters Rogers' '10' will only ring true if he drives a team revival. Bournemouth is the first of a run that continues with Everton, Tottenham, Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, Manchester United and Sunderland. Bournemouth are 17th with three points and no win in five under Marco Rose. Opta gives Chelsea a 51.8% chance of victory. The game is on 10 October.
