Craig said:Fantastic workrate and with some of the performances from our more talented players at the moment he deserves to be starting. However, when Milner is anything more than a squad player with where we want to be then it shows our current problems. So many times you see his lack of class when it really matters. Against Moscow when we were 2-0 up Toure chipped an absolutely perfect pass to him in space inside the box. He just needed to cushion the ball back 10 yards across the the 6 yard box and it's 3-0, the ball ended up safely in the keepers hands at the near post. Another time in the box last night he had time to just roll the ball across for another almost certain goal, he put it out for a throw in. I like Milner but there are examples of this lack of genuine quality from him most games. His failure to nail down a place in such a woeful England team speaks volumes.

So how about Aguero missing against West Ham from point blank range? Or Navas and Dzeko for that matter last night? And any number of examples for Silva. You can find individual examples for any player on earth. That shows nothing. Milner has been among our top 5 players (in any position) this year and until we get someone like an Eden Hazard, should be an automatic first team choice. Nasri is the only rival and he hasn't been in the same zip code for most of this calendar year.

Well I certainly believe Aguero should be sold as soon as possible. Obviously I knew a big Jimmy fan would say "well, you could mention individual things about anyone."They were just a couple of examples of why he is not quite good enough to be first choice in a top team though. Him not nailing down a place for England proves my point. Please don't mention players from the past not getting picked for England either because this current England team is as bad as it gets.

That's my opinion also,however,he is currently a starting choice but,given the aspirations we have,he shouldn't be.
Well on that basis, it says a lot about the other players in the squad then doesn't it.
