Milner remains a hugely important part of this Liverpool side and many would agree he’s been underrated throughout his career.
Evra clearly thinks highly of the former England international, though, as you can see from his original comments in the Sky Sports studio on Monday night:
The best player @Evra has ever played against?
Yep, you got it @JamesMilner ? pic.twitter.com/5rE0MMrIVj
