Whisper it quietly because people will get all cross n that.... but he's our player of the season isn't he?
By far the most consistent across the season, gives constant effort and pretty much the most productive
He's been consistent in putting the effort in but there's no way I would personally give him player of the season. Coutinho all the way, and even Firmino ahead of Milner.
Milner can put a mean cross in from either foot. That means he's always a danger, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. He's utterly frustrating when asked to actually create something apart from crosses. I'm not sure where that leaves him in terms of positions, because I do think we should have someone with more flair and quality down the wing. At the same time, he looked a lot less effective as CM.
When we are playing the sort of fast and exciting football of late then a player like Milner is a real asset. Similarly, he did pretty well at City when they were cruising. But things looked painfully dry with him on the side a while ago, culminating in that horrific Cup final performance from everyone.
He's experienced, hardly has a truly bad game and is a decent player overall. I'm happy to have him in the squad and being first choice in certain games, but I do think we should add more creativity to the team, and that could cost Milner his place.
