James Milner

Beginning to think the ref at Norwich did us a favour sending off Nasri so Milner almost guaranteed to start.

Great game yet again
 
What an engine this guy has, it's amazing. I was extremely angry at Mancini after he sidelined him out of nothing last year and after some of his best performances, then on the beginning of this one i thought Mancini was maybe right as he looked awful in few matches but last few games he was outstanding.

Brave heart of Man City, never stops running.
 
He was excellent today. As well as the usual energy and workrate he always has, he had more quality on his wide delivery and scored a superb goal.

Quite the partnership he's establishing with Zabaleta down that right hand flank now. Immense performance today, he seemed to relish the responsibility of covering and creating against Arsenal. Most underrated midfielder in the squad. Brilliant.

Agreed... When you have two players that put in that level of effort it's not often they come out of a game second best. Having said that, Clichy wasn't shy in getting forward considering his side wasn't particularly weakened by the red card and he made a few decent challenges. We don't really have a Milner for that side though.

I thought Clichy had a belter of a game today too. More of a 'fuck you' to the heckling Gooners. Good on him.

To the proponents of putting Milner in the middle - where are we going to get the quality balls that Milner provides from the flanks? IMO when Milner was out that was precisely what we were missing and why our strikers were struggling for goals, we were doing EVERYTHING through the middle. Milner provides an outlet out wide that no other player in the squad can do. Keep him out wide.
 
MOTM.

He's never going to appeal to the purists but his heart is always displayed on his sleeve.

Yaya missing will give him a sustained run and he will get better still for it.

The ultimate pro!

Great post this, I think it's spot on, Milner also links up so well with Silva, and what a great goal, I think he has given us the wide option that we have missed for so long, great performance today, my man of the match
