gram 0 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Left wing was ineffective yesterday though, so hopefully Zog or Duff will be fit soon. So was the right wing. Bot off dickhead. Milner has been one of our best players for months now. saying it twice doesnt make it anymore true I'm hoping he's on the windup. I'm by no means a fan of Milner, but he's been quality this season. No wind up. If your definition of 'quality' is Milner's performances this season then I can only assume you didnt see Solano, Ginola, Robert etc in their prime. The only similarity between the players above and Milner is that they all have 2 legs. He is still nowhere near the level of performance of a young Keith Gillespie. Not good enough. Nowhere near in fact. Sorry to upset the applecart on this one but its been obvious to see for too long now that the kid isnt up to the level we should be aspiring to be at. His performance yesterday was abysmal by the way. His crossing was indicative of his time at Newcastle. He is young but he should have learnt the basics by now. who was so good man united let him come to us. He then managed one good game in 5, much like ginola and robert. I think you have been watching that barca video too many times. Beginning to understand why your so popular. His performances in the 94/95 and 95/96 seasons, when you still thought your dick was for pissing over high walls, were of an altogether different standard sunshine. If you were old enough to be there then you would understand that. Otherwise you are mentally subnormal. One of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gram 0 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I can see where you are coming from but putting one decent cross in(and it was very little better than that) out of the countless attempts he had is a very poor return in my book. Some of his passing crossing was amateur. Hardly the first time either is it? No way that cross was just decent. He cut out his man feigning to play it right footed then put an excellent cross in with his weaker foot to completely put Pattison free to head on goal. I think we can all see Milner is no top drawer player. He lacks pace and technique for that level. The way his crossing has improved this season (he must be nearing double digits with assists, don't know the exact figures) and the way he's worked on left footed crosses proves that he is making good progress. He's still a young player with a lot to learn. He wasn't cheap, but the price tag wasn't his wrongdoing and we will get at least our money back if we do eventually decide to sell, so we can only be happy at the way he's contribued and showed progress.. Youre right. He does lack pace and technique. Allied to his inability to cross and failure to score goals on a regular basis (2 in his Newcastle career in the Prem). Other than that he is fine Seriously, if that is what people settle for then we are fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I agree Milner was fairly poor yesterday but the 3 games before that he was MOM or very close. He has also been very good a lot this season. People make excuses for N'Zogbia's poor form because of the way he has been treated with us signing Duff after an excellent season last season but most people seem to forget the way we completely fucked Milner around in the summer and the fact he was excellent for Villa on his season loan. Does lack a bit of pace (but i wouldnt say he was especially slow) and his crossing can be frustrating as fuck sometimes but he obviously has the ability to do it and it will only improve as he goes along, he has only just turned 21 FFS! Look at wonderboy Lennon and see how many assists and completed passes he got last season, wasnt a patch on Milner BUT he has electric pace so is hyped up stupidly!

How old were you in 1995 by the way? what the fuck has that got to do with my ability to tell that Milner is one of our best performers And why would you hit a sheep? Pertinent question. Respond if youre not too shy about it. Apologies if you are. Nb: Please note the use of the word 'like'. It was the giveaway in the phrase.
