'Milner will think he can improve - I love his attitude'
That’s the prediction of former Reds defender Alan Kennedy, who credits the No.7’s mentality for the ease with which he switched from midfield to an unfamiliar role in Jürgen Klopp’s back four.
The Englishman missed only two Premier League matches all season as a top-four finish, and a place in the Champions League qualification round, was cemented on the final day.
It remains to be seen if Milner will continue in the position next term, but Kennedy – twice a European Cup winner with the club – believes he is ready to build on his experience there if so.
“I’ve not been surprised. He’s a great professional. He treats any position as his own,” the 62-year-old told Liverpoolfc.com.
