gram 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just read a thread about him on the kids forum. Personally think he is utter bollocks. They seem impressed with his occasional stepover then booting the ball into the stands. Thoughts on the lad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I seem impressed with the fact he's been one of our best players in recent weeks, so I don't know why you're whining so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Does so well to beat his man, then just fucks it up EVERY single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Does so well to beat his man, then just fucks it up EVERY single time. That is my sentiment too. As long as he can't produce a decent cross regularly, I'd rather we played Solano, who maybe won't run past 3 players, but can float a proper ball in from anywhere.

Tom 13840 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I reckon milner will get better like... Â Â he at least puts 100% in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16628 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Milner can put some good balls in too when he puts his mind to it. Its a tough one. He does graft to fuck like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 If his crosses improved greatly though, he'll be awesome. Sadly that's not going to happen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26301 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 He managed 7 assists last season which is more than any of our players bar N'Zogbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I enjoy watching him play he needs to be able to put his good runs to use by finishing off a chance or setting someone else up. Amazing cross for Luque against Palermo though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I hate watching him play tbh. The lack of any end product was so annoying! Watching him waste every single ball he had against Fenerbahce was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 He is fustrating but I think he could learn fingers crossed. I would always play N'Zogbia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 He managed 7 assists last season which is more than any of our players bar N'Zogbia. Â Didn't Villa play him in the centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Going by what I've seen of him so far and in the full knowledge that I'm not really in the best position to comment on individual players' performances, I just don't rate Milner at all. Yes, he works hard and runs around a lot, but there is simply not enough end product from him. He can't cross and he hasn't exactly got the pace either. I don't think he'll ever be more than a decent player for a mid-table team - which, to be fair, would be more than good enough for us at the moment... Â I'd still play other players ahead of him on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think he's awful. Was utter rubbish in his first season here, looked reasonably good at Villa and he's come back just as bad as he was before. He's also the slowest winger i've ever seen, are full backs meant to be worried when he has the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8870 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) He managed 7 assists last season which is more than any of our players bar N'Zogbia. Â Didn't Villa play him in the centre? Â No. Â And in the few games I watched he put in some decent crosses. Like the one he put in against Palermo. It's just that he is not getting them in more regularly. But on the other hand he is still quite young. IMHO some people are a bit too critical.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Considering he puts in the graft after we fucked him around in August, it's good in some respects but, like said, it's frustrating to see him be so inconsistent with his performances. Â But he's only 20 (?). Plenty time left for him to fully develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinofbeans 86 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 not a winger tbh... hes a rubbish inside forward being played out of position..... as you'll all testify by his 1 in 18,069584832 cross success ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4852 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Harsh. He still has many years for improvement. Reminds me of Joe Cole. If he sorts his final ball out he wll be a v. good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Been one of our best players so far this season (I know, that's not saying much). As others have said, he's still only young, and some people are far too hard on him. I personally think he can develop into a very good player.

Guest alex Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I still think Milner is pretty average. I quite like him as he has a good work ethic / attitude on the pitch and he has a couple of tricks. But he lacks pace and his crossing is poor and I can't see how he managed all those assists last season. I thought the bit late on against Man City where he turned the defender inside out then put the ball into touch summed him up. He has been messed about here though.

Chaser 1054 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Does it not say something when he was poor in his first season with us, pretty decent at Villa while he was there and then garbage again when he came back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
