      Wierd this, I did expect Milner to be a success, but not at left back. He's not quite dominated the centre mid like I expected, but after a few doubts, he's done pretty well at the back. Fair play to him, you certainly can't fault his effort and application.

      Got to be the most professional and hard working player in the league.

      Hard to argue with that.

      I never rated him when he popped on that England shirt, my main question was, what does he offer?

      HOWEVER! at Liverpool, he has produced the goods in midfield and defence, and his attitude is second to none.

      What a great signing he has been for us.

      Milner has been stunning in the left back position, Klopp gave him a warning that he needs to continue doing what he has done because Moreno has been training harder and took up the challenge and competition.

      I think Milner at LB will be a standout and look  like a genius move when we play teams that allow him space to come forward...against teams where he needs to be more defensive minded, he may not look as genius, but at this time, it's hard to argue with the decision to stick him there and has to be said, he's been nothing but a model professional, glad to have him here.

      Looking at the moment like he has played left back all his career. Love Milner! What you see is what you get. Commitment, honesty and ability! Keep it up :)

      Love his post match interviews. Well spoken lad who is right on the pulse of things.

      Doing a fantastic job Millny....just a shame about that mis-kick that led to their goal. A minor blip in the end, thank F**k.

      Love his penalties, feel certain he will score every time. Bottom corners with plenty of pace on them.

      11 vs 5 in our own box should have taken care of that though.

      Yep.

      But how unlucky was that, we get the headed clearance, falls to them and their only shot and only shot on target, goes F***ing in.

      So far so good from Milner. Left backs are at fault for goals sometimes, and i'm sure Milner will be no exception over the course of the season. He's a better attacking and defensive option than Bertie ever was or will bw though.

      Milner has shown people what being good going forward actually means from a full back. It isn't just a high starting position and raw pace.

      He was initially brought in because we lacked players of his experience and F**k me pink if it hasn't been shining through.  ;)

      Another fine performance from a great pro... well in James.

      Best freebie of the last five years in England?

      His mentality is key - a winner's mentality. So cool and calm, doesn't lose his head - the stuff that champions are made of.

      I don't mean this in any disrespect to Henderson at all, but I kinda consider Milner the "real" captain, if you will. Versatile, dependable, knowledgeable, calm, mentally tough, consistent, leads by example, unmatched work rate, etc. Great player to have in the team.

      Keep it going Milner, he took Klopp's challenge to the maximum. Best left back in squad, sorry Moreno.

      He's a good professional but let's not get carried away eh.

      The number of times he was skinned in the first half lucky we didn't conced a few more.
