James Milner has earned himself heaps of praise from plenty of supporters in the aftermath of Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town in the 4th round of the FA Cup.
With Jurgen Klopp and the seniors of the Reds away on their winter break, it was Neil Critchley who led the team in the FA Cup clash and it was he who masterminded their triumph.

Needless to say, as soon as they saw that, many Liverpool fans were left in awe of the veteran midfielder and showered the player with praise.

One fan took the conversation a step further and suggested Milner could one day be Steven Gerrard’s assistant in some form of Utopian future at Anfield.
