3) He’s in great form this season
With six goals for City this season, Milner has hit his best tally for the club since he joined. Of course, it’s not the kind of stat that makes you leap out of your seat, but he’s actually been one of the team’s most in-form players in recent times while the club has stuttered to second place and dropped out of the Champions League and FA Cup in a disappointing second half of the season. Some players are late bloomers, and it may be that Milner still has more to offer, particularly if he is given the chance to play more regularly, which seems likely at Anfield.
