Milner becomes the first player in history to create a sport, sign off the founding rules of the game, galvanise an entire nation in to regarding it as their national sport, seamlessly manage its transition to professional status and then pick up a league cup trophy (his second) 150 years later, after a decent penalty. Top career.

Thank you for this succinct summary of the early years of his magnificent career.

For sure, one of the Joys of following LFC is knowing that our children and grandchildren will get to enjoy doing the same thing we, like those who have come before us, have been able to do: watch Millie take the field for Liverpool.

Milner is keeping his celebration in check as he is worried VAR will rule it out.

Milner showed Rudiger who is boss!! He is just letting the youngsters use all their energy first

18.4 RAWK posts per game for James Milner. Compare that to Thiago who is on 124.1 posts per game, and Mo who is on 82.1 ppg.

Proves to me that Mr No Nonsense leaves the talking points on the pitch.

Harvey Elliot is way out there on 185.8 ppg by the way.

meaningless, we need you to do a PPM stat!

Shaking his head there after a challenge that left the Norwich lad on the ground. Probably thinking this game use to be a contact sport when i made my debut in the twentieth century.

Oops sorry James you are not that old 😉

Give him another contract, you swines.

Has he stopped running yet?

disgraced cake · « **Reply #3531 on:** March 3, 2022, 12:07:38 am »

Don't remember him ever letting us down when he's played full back. Will barely let you down in general but his performances on the left or right have been great.

SamLad · « **Reply #3532 on:** March 3, 2022, 12:08:29 am »

he was superb tonight. great game.

Milner got a years extension right?

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #3536 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:29:35 pm »

Please stay.

I was worried with him in the line up but as usual Milly stepped up.

Same was shaky in some parts but overall had some great passes and broke up play well. Good game from him.

Milner is a serial winner. I had no doubts he'd be up to the required mark today.

damomad · « **Reply #3540 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:34:08 pm »

Thought that was his best performance of the season.

Tobelius · « **Reply #3541 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:34:24 pm »

His legs are far from gone as we just saw,well done Milly.

Well in James.Named as MOTM by Talksport

disgraced cake · « **Reply #3543 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:46:04 pm »

So, so good today. Probably a toss up for MOTM with Keita/Gomez IMO. Hopefully on in midweek to see us through to another Champions League final.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #3544 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:47:35 pm »

He did well today I knew he wouldn’t let us down.

Spanish Al · « **Reply #3545 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:47:45 pm »

Got to admit I wasn’t a fan of seeing him in the lineup but he’s gone and proven me wrong.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #3546 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:50:46 pm »

Never lets us down, surprising a fair few doubt his selection but he keeps showing why he’s a valuable asset to have around and use as a squad player.

farawayred · « **Reply #3547 on:** April 30, 2022, 02:51:22 pm »

I think we will see more from him before the end of the season. I expect him to start against Spurs too, or come in as a sub.

jambutty · « **Reply #3548 on:** April 30, 2022, 05:07:17 pm »

Would love to see him as our manager in 10 years.

abetts · « **Reply #3549 on:** April 30, 2022, 05:12:52 pm »

Before the game, I was a bit concerned that a trio of Milner, Henderson, and Keita might be our weakness in this game. Then I remembered they started against Man Utd at OT this season.

fenre · « **Reply #3550 on:** April 30, 2022, 05:26:20 pm »

Maybe I was wrong, but it seemed like he was quite emotional at the bench at one time? Or, did I see that wrong?

Yeah something was going wrong with him. He looked either upset, or was feeling the earlier knock to the head

I thought he was going to puke!

Maybe just knackered, he did put one heck of a shift in.

He looked pretty exhausted by the time he was subbed.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #3555 on:** April 30, 2022, 05:41:28 pm »

When was the last time he even played for almost 90 minutes? I'm not surprised he was exhausted I'm sure he covered every blade of grass this afternoon.

Jürgen Klopp:

“He’s a role model. I have told him, I can tell the whole world – nothing we have achieved in the last few years would have happened without James Milner, it’s as easy as that.

“Whether he was on the pitch or not, he’s set standards in a way not a lot of people can set standards, and it educated all of us.

Milly played a great game today. I loved this game – and he played a massive part in it.”

A lovely tribute for Milly from the manager he clearly loves the guy.
