James Milner

[GoMancini7]

got only something like 11 prem starts

he is better than that had a couple of poor games but for me done well when selected.

A more intelligent manager would have have given him more game time

He started 9 PL games this season. Was a sub many more times so he is involved, but mostly as a sub.

Its pretty sure he wont be used more than this next season, especially if a new att. midfielder/winger type player will come in (like Muniain or someone else).

Criminally under-utilised.

Should start the big games away from home instead of Nasri on the left, would be more effective than Garcia/Rodwell/Demichelis et al when either Yaya/Fernadinho are injured, in the centre.

Don't understand why Pellegrini doesn't seem to rate him.

Maybe what goes on in training isn't what he wants to see. I doubt it with Milner though as I would expect him to be just as committed.

Maybe it's more to do with our win percentage when Milner starts which I believe isn't great.

Perhaps he understands his limitations

Perhaps he understands his limitations

Or takes him for granted

Really he watches him everyday

When he is subbed on he usually makes a big difference especially linking with dave.well worth keeping and he will do the graft needed to let the others do their thing

I haven't seen any reason to limit his playing time, every time he plays he leaves the pitch as one of the most influential. Perhaps our management team too have limitations - persisting with 442, not being able to adapt, not being able to get the players out of first gear, not being able to do basic maths, etc ;)

Don't disagree with that but not that good often when he starts

We've averaged twice as many goals when he doesn't start and almost a point more per game, so I'm not sure he really has been underused
