Guest michaelfoster Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 needs to work on his crossing IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Good technical people, don't know how much he can progress as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 There is no way on earth that he is a centre midfielder... Why not? His good work ethic, passing and technical are put to much better use there than on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I like him and he's still young. It's a shame about his pace though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His good work ethic, passing and technical are put to much better use there than on the wing. his technique isn't that great, he's just good at suddenly turning left and right.. i dread to think what he'd be like at the center of the field Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 He's a good player, but his lack of blistering pace means he needs support from the midfield and the right back. We're not playing to anyone's strengths when he has to run with the ball past his defender and whip in a cross to some dwarf sandwiched in between the opposition centre backs. Our problem is the complete lack of off the ball movement in the midfield and attack. Replacing Milner is never going to fix that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatTheFunk Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 His movement and his delivery are awful in the main. His technique and work rate are top notch. SHOULD BE PLAYED IN THE MIDDLE!! IMO the biggest hinderance to Milner's development has been working under the likes of SBR, Souness, Roeder and Allardyce, in struggling teams. Had the young 16 yr old Milner gone to Arsene Wenger instead, I tell you we would have seen a totally different player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I like him and he's still young. It's a shame about his pace though. The only thing letting him down. An advanced role in the middle would be suited to him IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 He looked really out of sorts last night, not really up for it at all. (Arsenal) If he had better pace he would be a star but, he is a bit slow. Compare him to Flamini for example and the gulf in class is immense.

I suppose to compare him is unfair but, the way that Flamini played last night with bursts of pace and his cultured crossing of the ball I guess that is the sort of player that we should be targetting for Newcastle.

Consortium of one Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 When I watched him on the left to start the season, I couldn't wait to see him play on the right. But now that he's on the right, he looks worse. Milner looks like a lot of the players do right now: they are thinking TOO much rather than just playing naturally and trusting their instincts more.

Mick Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Milner works his bollocks off but can't deliver a cross on a regular basis. He's slow, a bit like Nobby but Nobby could still make the pass without hitting the defender 9 times out of ten the way Milner does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 16, he could have pretty much moulded him in any way he wanted to, as he was still a "growing boy". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner's not good enough, he's slow and has no redeeming features unlike nobby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
