England international in excellent form

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has praised Jurgen Klopp for helping him master his intense style of play.

Milner has hit some wonderful form in the recent months despite struggling initially since Klopp’s arrival, but now have only lost 1 in the last 15 games after battering city-rivals Everton 4-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night.

“The manager’s style is a bit more second nature than it was a few months ago, we know how he wants to play and everyone is on the same page. I think you can see that in the performances,” Milner told the club’s official website.

Liverpool are 7th in the table and only 6 points behind 4th placed Arsenal with 5 games to go, and Jurgen Klopp’s side have secured a spot in the Europa League semi-finals after beating Borussia Dortmund 5-4 on aggregate last week.

“We seem to be in the rhythm at the moment,” added Milner. “You need a full squad and we have got a quality squad of players, a young squad as well but when the younger guys have come in they have done brilliantly as well.

“There’s a lot of competition for places and that’s what you need.”

On Saturday, Liverpool host former boss Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United side, who are second bottom of the table.
