[Albion] James Milner

[Mad as my Mother]

He was indeed superb but surely more ecky thump than eh eh?

He most definitely had a bit of a scouse twang going on which surprised me.

 

[Mancgull]

I thought he was excellent. Great back up/ competition for Joel.

 

[BluesRockDJ]

32 short of the record set by Gareth Barry? Were Milner to break that record with us, that would be an ironic Albion twist.

Not everyone would acknowledge it though.

John Gregory wouldn't recognise James Milner if he was stood on Brighton beach in the team strip with a seagull on his head and a ball in his hand.

I think you'll find Gregory was referring to Gareth Barry ?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I think Milner is now our first choice right back and he'll start most games this season.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I picked him out as the player I was most looking forward to seeing out of the new guys and he didn't disappoint. Oozes class, calmness and leadership.

 

[Sue1983]

I think he is going to be my favourite player!

 

[WATFORD zero]

Great role model, fantastic attitude. What a great signing - must surely be on Chelsea’s shopping list now.

Of course not. Chelsea know you just have to sign the best, most expensive player in every position and the rest just falls into place

 

[tigertim68]

I think he is a good player
but a fullback, I don’t think so
in the first half most of our attacks came down the left , as we did not have an overlapping right full back with pace

 

[dazzer6666]

Might well turn out to be our best signing this season. Absolute class…can only imagine what he’s like in training/mentoring the kids etc. Watched him closely today….always scanning, positional sense was outstanding, timed his tackles to perfection and was constantly talking to other players/pointing/shouting.

That was rather the point of the comment linking them together.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

He was possibly the best kid out there today. Exceptional first full match and proving why he’s been brought in to not only fix our depth at both FB positions but to push our starters (even Estupinan).

This.

Milner will be a brilliant utility player

 

[GT49er]

This.

Milner will be a brilliant utility player

I thought he already was...............

 

[junior]

Can he play left back?

He was manager there when Calde played for them 2017-19, winning the title in 2018. Doesn't seem to have worked since. 69 years old.

The current manager of Chemnaiyin is Owen Coyle, who's in his second spell at the club.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I think the young lad had a good game today

Had a great game, was a rock at right right back and combined well with Solly down the right flank.

Pascal won MOtM but l would have given the accolade to James Milner.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Also very vocal on the field and directing some play, great to have that experience out there, think it benefitted JPvH

Absolutely, it's boding so well for the rest of the season.

Thanks. Yes I saw the dates after posting the pic.
It is a pity he will forever more be remembered for his crass Gazza Bazza comment.
The David Brent of football management.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I think I was watching a different game to everyone else!

Solid debut, and very happy to have the guy in the squad, but I saw I guy pulled out of position, misjudging high balls, and flying into a couple of rash tackles. He isn’t in Veltman’s league as a full back.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

I feel quite humbled by him coming to join us. He is one of the finest players of his type in a generation. Lallana has the silky skills but Milner is just an outstanding footballer and role model. He may have been on a free but his wages, whatever they are, are well justified.
