Fucking needed him there

Useful having the most experienced player (by a distance) in the entire league on our side. Nothing phases him.

Anyone got a clip of his pen?

John C · « **Reply #2084 on:** March 17, 2019, 04:23:23 pm »

It would be a travesty if he ever left this club without a medal of some sort. I can't overstate how fucking wonderful he is.

If anyone hasn't seen the Sky post-match interview he was giggling and said something like "Jurgen told me to go on and control things so I sliced the ball to put us under pressure".

Think I’d sooner have him on an important pen than peak Stevie or Dirk

Poor ball to Van Dijk for their goal but fantastic penalty to erase all of that.

"Gaffer said calm it down, and the first thing i did was slice it over and put Virgil under pressure".

Fair play to him, so happy he got a chance to make amends for the mistake..

Was getting a bit nervous that Salah was going to take that pen

You're right John. But worry ye not. He will get a winner's medal. More than one.

And that was a great piece of self-deprecation. I loved the way that it provoked Birg Virg into going one better. ("It was my fault"/"No it was my fault...")

He made a mistake for the goal but when we got the penalty I thought wow its a good thing we brought him on and it was an ice cold pen.

No love for Milner? Thought he was excellent last night. Such a proficient LB.

Perham · « **Reply #2097 on:** April 10, 2019, 01:39:45 pm »

He had a solid game in defence despite being not great attacking wise. Overall, we seemed to be missing Robertson and could have got a few more with him in the team but Milner did a good job considering he was out of position.

I wonder if Salah said something insulting to him about his age after Milner told him “I’m the fucking penalty taker”. Mo was royally pissed off that he didn’t get to take it.

No. It was an inside joke with Virgil.

You really think that Mo would be that of a tit to say something about his age in that moment in this stage of the season?

Well he was being enough of a tit to initially try to hang on to the ball when Milner tried to take it off him. In that moment in this season.

There's nothing wrong in him wanting to take the penalty and having the courage to do so, just like there is nothing wrong with Milner saying no to his request.

But the fact that you think that he would say something so stupid and childish, is perplexing and odd.

Perham · « **Reply #2106 on:** April 21, 2019, 10:10:35 pm »

Good on him for taking the ball off Salah for the pen. He's the penalty taker and should take them no matter what. He's clearly the better penalty taker and it's important that it's known that he takes any penalties when he's on the pitch.

Aww didums. Milner is vice captain and penalty taker. If he’s on the pitch he takes the pens. Different story if we would have been 4-0 up, but with it still being 1-0 then it’s Milner to take it with no arguments.

No,it is something that Virgil rips him about,at least that is what Milner said in his interview.

Yes there is. The team has a defined structure as to who takes the penalties dependant on which players are on the pitch. Why do you view it as courageous for Mo to break that Pre-determined team structure?

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #2110 on:** April 21, 2019, 10:32:49 pm »

Value for money (or lack of), one of our best ever signings. And I never particularly got what he offered before he joined us.

Showing the balls to take the penalty in that moment, under the circumstances, yeah I think it's courageous, and I'd say the same for any of our attacking players who would feel that way. Now if he were doing this everytime there was a pen then it would be an issue, but a one time thing, no I don't have a problem with.

I'd rather him be confident in himself and his abilities then shy away from crucial situations.

And your proof about him saying something insulting is what exactly? There is nothing wrong with Salah wanting to take a penalty he won. So stop making stuff up.

Did you miss the bit where I said Salah was a tit for trying to claim the kick?

He was well out of order putting personal glory over giving the tricky reds the best chance of winning the game.

I know. 100% agree with you. Point I’m making is that as Milner is vice captain and penalty taker, if he’s on the pitch he takes the pens.

That’s alright then! It was disappointing, to say the least, to see Mo sulking when Jimmy wrestled the ball off him. I know most footballers have massive egos and the stuff about not caring who scores as long as the team wins is only so much bullshit, especially where strikers are concerned.

I just hope that Klopp can persuade his two players who have a sniff of the Golden Boot not to be _too_ greedy over the next few weeks.

Dead right. Like I said in another post, If we were 4-0 up at the time then no problem at all giving it to Mo then as the game is already won. But imagine Mo takes the pen, misses and they go down the other end and score.
