      When we first signed Milner, I honestly expected to have seen him play in a more defensive central midfield position. I think it was Jonathan Wilson (the football journalist, very good on tactics) that suggested that at one point, due to Milner's incredible discipline. I could have seen him as a right back, but sure as hell did not expect him to be our left back for a full season haha. I'm hoping Robertson has been brought in with the manager's confidence to be our starter in that position, so I'm curious to see in what other utility roles Milner might now be used.

      If we fail to sign Keita or any other holding midfielder could Milner do the job??

      You didn't get the memo.

      He may HAVE to do the job.

      Didn't think Milner was all that bad today, very simplistic and lackluster, but it wasn't what we needed, we needed someone with drive and purpose in the middle, someone like Hendo, Wijnaldum or even Ox in the #8 role.

      Mily needs to be tried at RB IMO. I really like the youngsters, but that's just it. Their YOUNG!!! We cant keep changing them out each game and think that will do us good for their long term development. TAA got his confidence shook some kind of bad the other night, and it stemmed from not finding throw in targets. Joe's lack of composure on and off the field isn't the greatest either (hence the red card send off and silly retweet).

      We played James, a right footed player, at left back. And overall he did fairly well. Surely it isn't that far fetched to try him out at right back, is it? Having his leadership on the field would do our composure level some good and I think he would actually stabilize the defense some.

      Why not play him as the DM, he is good at tackling and has a decent pass on him, he'd certainly be more positive than Henderson

      Im with that too. I just like the guy and think he is the best leader we have on the team. The boys need someone else other than Jordan leading them. Milner is good at a lot of things, not really good or great at anything. Right now Jordan is struggling with a lot of things. Makes sense. Take out Captian Doom for Mr. Consistent

      Nah, play Gomez, he's got a better engine to get up and down the right hand side.

      Gomez like TAA have both been shown up defensively on top of which Gomez is extremely limited going forward, not surprising I suppose considering he is a CB.

      Milner is certainly a option but hardly the future hence why TAA needs to be given games so he can be a competent option for when Clyne is back.

      Top top performance. Totally assured, good tempo, great leadership, was always alert and as ever put in 110%. Certainly deserves a run in the side.

      Sorry but I don't agree that Gomez is extremely limited going forward.

      From what I saw him almost every games this season (admitted it's limit as I watch from tv/pc), he's at least decent attacking support. And given the lad still very young and play at (people said) not his best position, he can keep develop and I'm very happy to give the boy the chance.

      From some stats this season EPL games so far he's not that much diff compare to Moreno.

      It's Milners thread ;D so well done Milly, you really kick the awful ass of all of our CM. I'm not mind if Klopp keep him in the team instead of Can or Gini from now on.

      Gave him my motm last night and I think he has done enough to keep his place for the weekend. Hendon and Can together really kill us as a pair, at least Milner offers something a bit different.

      The first 30 minutes he was fukn awful don't think he will ever cut it as a CM in Jurgens setup.

      Rubbish performance, slow and a touch like a bull elephant, apart from being the go-to when Moreno fucks up offers little these days.
