Steady is a great platform to build upon I'm told quite regularly ;-)Also, he's been played in positions/roles that I don't think particularly suit him best.
He'll be our "Fletcher" when we finally click on a consistant basis. Important if not spectacular.

He'll get better going forward as he settles into the team & the club though, especially having Silva to learn from. Making career determining judgements about him now is a job for fucking idiots.
It was a mistake to take him off but an understandable one. Still a mistake though unless he was injured.

Just because he doesn't have blisting pace and doesn't shoot ever times he gets the ball does not mean he has no influence the game. You have to view his game with your tactical head on and look at the space he marks up and the space he frees up.
Don't forget he also cleared the ball off the line yesterday too. Without Milner we would have lost by 2.

And, if he'd have stayed on we'd have possibly won by 1 goal.

We can't assume that we may have won this game if he'd stayed on. The many times that city's game broke down with milner, is a cause for concern. Milner is not playing well at all . He certainly should not be starting a game.
Although yesterday even de jong was pretty average.
