James Milner posted a mature performance for Liverpool on Tuesday night.
James Milner certainly put himself in the picture for Liverpool regarding Premier League chances with a fine showing in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Reds smashed Maribor 7-0 to move top of Group E following an absolutely ruthless performance in Slovenia last night.
Goals from Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and two from Mo Salah helped Liverpool into a 4-0 half-time lead, before Firmino made it five on 54 minutes.
Summer signing Oxlade-Chamberlain added a sixth in the closing minutes, before Trent Alexander-Arnold capped a fine display in the dying stages.
Milner, who has started only two Premier League games, was not among the goals but the former Manchester City man posted an exceptional performance in midfield, playing instead of Jordan Henderson.
And fans of the Anfield club were absolutely raving about the veteran on Twitter.
Liverpool visit in-form Tottenham on Sunday and it remains to be seen whether Klopp keeps Milner in the first XI, but few would be surprised to see club captain Henderson – on the bench last night – back in at the weekend.
