LB James Milner

Upon further examination at a later date, left back is Milner’s.

Alberto Moreno enjoyed a mistake free return to the team against Derby but that’s not a Premier League side. Milner has proved that he’s the starting fullback, whether or not that was something he thought would ever happen is besides the point.

Milner has impressed with his ability to understand positioning, when to attack and when to hold quite well for someone who never played the position. Granted, he’s largely graded against the Moreno baseline so all he has to do is grasp some iota of that position, but he’s done more than that.

Ah, the classic no. 7 Liverpool shirt. Worn by some of the best attacking talent the Reds have produced… and now a right-midfielder-turned-center-midfielder-turned-left-back. Nice.
