James Milner has been playing well for Liverpool this season.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has compared James Milner to Steve Nicol in The Daily Mail.
Milner is a midfielder by trade, but he has featured at left-back on occasions for Liverpool so far this season.
The 30-year-old former Leeds United and Newcastle United star has done quite well in that role.
Former Tottenham and Liverpool midfielder Redknapp has been impressed with the performances of Milner so far.
Rednapp has compared the former Aston Villa man to Liverpool legend Steve Nicol.
Nicol is one of the greatest left-backs in Liverpool history and won the European Cup with the Reds during the 1983-84 season.
“James Milner is a manager’s dream,” Redknapp wrote in The Daily Mail. “He’s been a flying winger, a solid central midfielder and is now impressing at left back.
“It’s very difficult to switch flanks but Milner looked so confident attacking down the left against Hull on Saturday.
“There aren’t many players these days who are so adaptable and he reminds me of Steve Nicol. I only played with Steve for a couple of years at Anfield but he was such an unsung hero in our squad, playing at centre back, right back or in midfield.”
Liverpool are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 13 points from six matches, five points behind leaders Manchester City.
Milner has scored three goals and created 11 chances in five league matches for Liverpool so far this campaign.
The Reds will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Swansea City away from home at the Liberty Stadium in the Premier League.
