James Milner

[Marvin]

He failed it then? Assume it must be a minor injury if he was having a fitness test?

 

[bluefn]

Was in North west corner he walked past us a few times. Also Alvaro walked past still had a sling on. Can't see him fit for Wednesday. Jimmy must be minor though he seemed jolly enough and moving fine

 

[Marvin]

Thanks.

Pellegrini did not report Milner as an injury problem so either it has happened recently or it is very slight and he expected him to be available

 

[Stanger]

Feel sorry for him. Puts in a shift each and every time he comes on. Still doesn't get a start. I think he deserves more playing time.

I'm not sure if it's something to worry about, but there was a number of times when he got himself free on the wings but the other players choose to ignore him asking for the ball.

How many times has he started since he got MOTM against Bayern away?!

 

[Sigh]

He needs to change his name to Diego Milneros, get a sunbed, dye his hair, and start lisping for no reason. Then he'd be bluemoon player of the month and he'd start every game.

I just don't get why he is not being played
If he asks to leave because of it i will be really pissed off

Gonna be in trouble soon about home-grown (or English) players in the squad, if Milner goes, Lescott already is on his way, Sinclair and possibly Rodwell going too?

I like Milner, quality player, does well 9 times out of 10.

Because he isn't called Juan Milnér.

He knows which side of his bread is buttered, even though "the Spuds" are sniffing

I suspect that is part of it
If he doesn't play on wed it will be a clear message to him and us that he is not wanted,i want to slap pellers sometimes

Its outrageous the limited number of appearances he gets

Sums the currentCity approach pretty footbaall instead pragmatic football so therefore Jimmy dont a fuckin look in

 

[BlueTG]

He's made 30 appearance so far for us this season, granted I don't know how many as sub but to say he's not playing at all is a bit over the top.

He is a good lad, and good lads would usually rather be playing than having a bit more money in the bank, and on that basis I see him leaving, which is absolutely fucking daft

 

[Vino9]

Not a great lover of Milner, he gives us what most of the others don't . Honest endeavor and every team needs that.

7 starts only in the league out of 26 games, but 14 times was coming in from the bench. But its clear he wont reach playing time in PL he had under Mancini for 3 years.
But the playing time Navas gets clearly causes a big drop in Milners playing time.
In CL he started two group games, was coming in in 3 of them. Who could forget the Bayern away game...

And he started 3-3 League Cup/FA Cup games. Unfortunately he did not get a look in either in the semis vs WHU and the final vs Sunderland.

Not sure he will start tomorrow, I hope we dont start two strikers and that would give 3 spots behind the striker but it easily could be Silva-Nasri-Navas too.

One thing is sure he has to start the Barca or the Hull game. We need his energy in both games anyway.

Explain the above - he hardly got a sniff under Mancini after the 6-1 Derby demolition - he spent more time on the bench -

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Another player who gets better the less he plays.

 

[super_city_si]

With all the complaining about squad depth (i agree with btw), Milner is exactly the type of squad player we need to keep. He DOES offer depth in the squad. He can replace any of the wide men and do a very good job.

If he doesn't play against Barca then I wonder what he has done wrong as Wigan was surely a must start for him if we are rotating wisely.

If he doesn't start Wednesday then surely he has to start against Hull.

Sell.
