4 reasons why Liverpool should keep hold of James Milner

#1 Team player

While he arrived from City to play regularly and also in his preferred position (midfield), James Milner was a thorough professional in dealing with the demands of his manager and putting the needs of the team before his own.

In doing so, not only has he established himself as a firm fan favourite, but is also the go-to man for Klopp when the situation so demands.

With Alberto Moreno being relegated to the sidelines following many a fault, Milner was called on to deputize at left-back for almost the entirety of 2016/17. Last season, when he played, it was in midfield a majority of the time and with his UCL record-assist haul, it can be said he more than did justice to the position.

Milner may not be a mesmerizing playmaker, breathtaking striker or a magical dribbler, but he commits to the cause of the team so wholly, it is impossible not to admire his commitment and dedication.

Klopp and Liverpool's only cause for worry would be providing him with sufficient game time. With more than one competition to participate and there for the taking, accommodating someone of Milner's caliber and utility is certainly achievable.
