I ran a 10k on the back end of a triathlon at 6:52/mile pace recently and I'm 4.25 years his senior and not a professional athlete.
the man just continues to amaze ... Miller had more kilometres in the legs than any other Premier League player across the opening round of fixtures with 12.65km.
I kept seeing Keita and Ox while I honestly didn't notice him on the field and I'm surprised he covered that much ground.
bbc pundits ranked the Top 10 Underrated Players Ever in the Premier League. guess who got top votes? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/59324461 The ultimate unsung hero. It wasn't always the case, though. Milner shot on to the scene with Leeds as a 16-year-old, briefly becoming the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history. Then a skilful winger, he subsequently developed into a central midfielder over time with Newcastle, Aston Villa and Manchester City. He would pick up two league title winners medals with the latter. Now, at Liverpool (with whom he has won another league title and the Champions League), he is a true utility man, willing and able to play pretty much wherever Jurgen Klopp needs him, all with the minimum of fuss. Richards: He goes to Liverpool and wins the league and the Champions League after being deemed not good enough for Man City, that is ridiculous. What a guy he is. Lineker: I actually apologised to him. I tweeted a few years ago along the lines of "I'm not sure what James Milner is" because of all the different positions he played. I was wrong because what he is is an unbelievable professional who will play anywhere for you. He has been brilliantly consistent. Shearer: I was at Newcastle with him when he was a youngster. He had the same attitude then as he does now, which is why he has achieved what he has in the game. He is a manager's dream. he will probably never ever be late, he would be first and last off the training ground. Whenever you put him on the pitch, in whatever position, he would do a job for you. He would be a seven out of 10 at right back, right wing, central midfielder, wherever you asked him to play. He would never moan, so he is always great to have in the dressing room. It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up with a coaching role with Liverpool. If he chooses to go down that route then Liverpool will do well.
He’s 36 today and has been some signing for Liverpool.£0 pic.twitter.com/JZOwQivmh4— The Anfield Wrap (@TheAnfieldWrap) January 4, 2022
be careful he doesn't hear you, he'll throw you over his shoulder and do wind sprints uphill until you pass out.
Neil Jones told @TheRedmenTV that he expects Milner to leave at the end of this season and continue playing elsewhere rather joining the coaching staff.
Can’t fault him. Brilliant for us between the trophies, the mentality, professionalism, work ethic, and a bit of snide. best free signing we ever had. frees up some big wages too.
1 year new deal agreed. James Milner has agreed a new one-year contract at Liverpool on reduced terms, having turned down offers from other Premier League clubs and MLS.
