Milner ain't the problem!! He will always give 100%. How about the regulars that need dropping who are giving less than 100%.
And who do they get replaced with?
My opinion is lack of investment has cost us. This post is not about FSG but that effect the lack of investment has caused.
For me the players who are the problem are:
Trent
Salah
Virgil
Fabinho
Henderson
Milner (age related only).
Trent - He has no one fighting for his spot. He never has to look over his shoulder. The closest guy to him wasn't good enough. He was then sold and downgraded. So the not good enough guy was downgraded. The downgrade may turn out to be amazing as we haven't seen him but that's the issue, Trent hasn't seen him neither. He can do whatever he likes and he will make the next 11.
Salah - He's been sh*t since Afcon. Somehow he got a contract on previous merit. I wanted him gone when his agent was spouting sh*t. Salah telling the media "I'm ready to sign" whilst playing sh*t was a massive put off for me. He, like Trent, has no one competing for his place. He also knows this club will not bench a £350pw player. If we had an able RW we could have experimented with him but the owners decided one player is enough for that position.
Virgil - It's all got to his head. He knows it's always Virgil plus the sidekick. He needs dropping. He doesn't seem the guy that will take the dropping well. Idc how he takes it tbh he can't keep dishing out these performances.
Fabinho - Looks shot and has no genuine DM to compete for his spot. Never has to look over his shoulder. Knows Hendo doesn't work there which leaves no one else to play DM.
Henderson - Time's up. You've been amazing. We have no one to replace him with so he has to continue to play whilst not being good enough. Doesn't have the legs for it anymore and his legs it what masked his faults.
Milner - He's been amazing. Still gives it his all. Couldn't speak higher of him. His time has come to an end. The boss uses him because he doesn't have players for the positions and Milly is a utility man.
That's my opinion on it.
