Proper Legend.
Fairly certain Milner is setting the record today playing CB vs Brentford. Henderson is playing against him
Well done Millie! I hope that he comes back at the club at some point. Maybe as a coach, or who knows, as the head coach. He certainly has the brains to succeed if he choses that path after hanging up his boots.
I remember feeling depressed at the news of getting Benteke to complete what at the time looked like another mediocre transfer window and then someone pointing out that we got Milner. 10 years later and with the benefit of hindsight that turned out to be one of the better transfer windows. Not only because it was then when Firmino showed up, or Gomez, who is still a valuable squad member, but because a certain James Milner became one of the best free signings in the history of the club.
He was instrumental in setting new standards and installing a work ethic without which none of the success that followed would have been possible. Kloppās job would have been much harder without Milner. There should be an opening for him the very instant he decides to call it a day.

Btw ā¦
I checked it out for you, itās working.
Type James Milner on Google for a surprise ![]()

Can we get him back as a player coach next season ?
Didnt set right with me that he doesnāt finish his career at Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp confessed that he didnāt realize how much James Milner did behind the scenes for Liverpool until he left for Brighton ![]()
:
āI realised that really only when he after he leftā¦somebody came in my office and askedā¦whatās the fine.
And I said, āOh, I have no clue who did that so far.ā⦠āOh, Millie.ā
So he took all with him. Not the money, but all the rules.
So we had to set it up completely new because Millie left.ā

Edit
If Alonso arrives Iād love to see Milner join his coaching team. The standards this guy sets are exactly what this group needs restoring.
Alsoā¦lallana is already coachingā¦I understandā¦
