James Milner; £165,000 P/W

Didnt have the best of games yesterday but he'll adapt.

[dennis tooth]

Think milners a bit taken aback to find hisself out wide after rodgers promised he would place him in the centre of the universe from where all matter originated and stem the alarming expansion of the universe with his box to box work rate, Im sure he will pick up.

By sitting on the Liverpool bench

[Etienne77]

He played awful yesterday. Wrong side of the lad who had time to pick his pass for their goal. 1st touch rotten. Bullied by Azpilicueta time and again. Switched in the 2nd half to no effect. He just had a bad day. He seems genuine enough so no doubt pissed off with himself, hence the subdued response to our 2nd goal.

Nothing worse for the individual when your team kicks on after you've had the hook. More so being the captain and knowing it was totally justified.

The previous gobshite would not have made that change. Good man Jurgen

[Frank Dacey]

Milner's like a drummer who thinks he should try to lead the band. A bit like Ringo taking over vocals from Lennon and McCartney. Once Jurgen puts Ringo back behind the drum kit he'll be allright.

[Hand Shandy]

Ringo being Lucas I assume?

Ringo Milner

[G Richards]

Milner's salary is a product of:

 

1. The Premier League gravy train

2. Him arriving on a Bosman

 

I won't use his salary as a stick to beat him with, so long as he is putting the effort in, which he is.

 

Ultimately I don't see him as a fixture in the side as we can, and will, do better. I suspect that after a window or two under Klopp, Milner will end up with a similar sort of position here as at Man City - dependable squad man.

[cloggypop]

I'm going to wait and see for a bit before I decide to hate him. He was a bit wank yesterday but he is the furthest running player in the Premiership which sounds right up Herr Klopp Strasse.

[Russ Atmosphere]

One of the papers said he threw his water bottle to the floor in rage at Klopp's haranguing of him. Looks like being one to watch.

[ZonkoVille77]

He also had a puss on him on the bench, didn't celebrate too much for the 2nd goal.

[LFC 6 Times]

He is the quintessential jack of all trades. A very average footballer, elevated by better players around him. He reminds me very much of a Benitez signing, his touch is abysmal. Once Henderson is back he's straight out of the team for me.

[Harry Squatter]

His first touch is shit though. He miscontrolled most things against Bournemouth and did similar yesterday.

Errr... Benitez signed Torres, Xabi, Mascherano, Reina.

nunez josemi gonzalez.....

 

Hes a work horse like kuyt

[Hand Shandy]

I sincerely hope you aren't putting Dirk in the same category as those three?

[Paco]

[Hand Shandy]

Better.

[Mathewbet1]

has he got a strop on because he's lost his central midfield slot. moody james milner.

[bossy]

Hard worker, puts a shift in but not the most skilful. Don't think he should be slagged off because of his wages, it's the general madness of modern footy. Think we need better in the long term.

David Beckham, Stewart Downing, James Milner... English wingers with delusions of midfield grandeur. Have I forgotten any?

We need better in the short term.

[therevivalist]

Not the same player who completely changed the complexion of the game coming on when we were beating the crap out of city. I think he's basically a decent player made shite by Rodgers like everything else he touched.
