A victim of his own versatility. James Milner’s career has been one where he’s been shunted from pillar to post, playing in just about every outfield role. In fact, if he had his own gloves he’d have probably been used as a goalie by now!

Upon his move to Liverpool, Milner talked about being used as a midfielder, but just over a year on and he’s, seemingly, the Reds’ first choice left-back. In fairness to him, his dependability makes him a somewhat less risky option than Alberto Moreno for big games, and with Jurgen Klopp short of options in the role, ‘Milly’ has emerged as the best of a bad bunch.

A solid 7/10 player, Milner was never likely to pull up any trees at left-back, but that hasn’t stopped fans reacting in a less than positive manner to his new position. From slamming his decision to join Liverpool, to poking fun at his opening 20 minutes at Spurs, there’s been some reaction to Milner on Twitter…
