James Milner

Loved his effort today and Ferna put in a great performance too. Hope Pellegrini notices to work effort these two lads put in.
 
He did well in central midfield today. He is not good enough to be a regular starter for us but he makes for a very good squad player and is particularly useful to have on the bench.

I'd say he has a definite role in the squad now against quality sides where his tenacity matters. Excellent performance wide and central

Milner was excellent today, but in regards to the Bayern match, I actually think I'd prefer Kolarov playing left winger with Clichy at LB like we had in the second half today. He adds so much to our attacks with those deadly crosses and gives us some real steel. That being said, it was Milner who won us the game against the German rags last year!

in the only other game that I remember where kola started left ahead of clichy he did not play well and that was barca at home. I just dont think he is that good as a LW/LM, he need a player ahead of him that brings him into play
 
Play him in the role why we payed Villa a shed load of money.. Central midfield
 
To be fair to Milner he looked very decent in the middle today. Pleased that he had that chance to show what he can do - it's just unfortunate that he is fourth in the order for the role he covets.

There are definitely games where his strengths are beneficial from the start.
 
Not a great admirer of James but today I must give credit to him and say well played Mr Milner

Kolarov did what was required of him,he was there to stop Dani Alves marauding down the wing which he did successfully until he was subbed after the red card for MDM. Alves then went on to score one and go close with another effort.

Jimmy was excellent today but despite his MOTM performance in Munich last season I think I'd keep him fresh for the Chelsea match.
