LB James Milner, 8:

Was he playing left back, or left wing? Let me know. Because he was in the final third more than he was even in the middle third. Hull were on the backfoot all day, personified by Milner’s positioning and ability to make the space count.

Milner’s first penalty was as good as ever, nestled into the bottom corner.

Well, he absolutely needlessly gave away a corner to start the second half and Hull City capitalized. Typical Liverpudlian mistakes.

Another negative is how easily he falls for fake crosses, too. That’s about it. It’s incredible how well he’s been able to perform at fullback.

Oh well, he made up for it with another penalty in the second half, another lovely finish into the bottom corner.
