Milner praises 'outstanding' Liverpool in wake of Man City triumph

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has hailed the Reds' brilliant performance in the 4-1 victory over Manchester City on Saturday.


After inflicting City's heaviest home defeat since 2003, the 29-year-old believes that there is still more to come from the Merseysiders who enjoyed by far their best performance under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp.

He said: "I thought we were outstanding. We pressed them all over the field, created a few chances and I thought we could have had a few more.

"In the second half, we didn't want to keep it tight - we wanted to keep doing what we were doing and get on the front foot. We wanted to be in their faces.

"We didn't do it as effectively in the first half, and they changed their formation a bit, but I still thought we put in a pretty good second half.

"There are always areas we can improve. If you look at the teams, we have played away from home and the results we have got, it has been pretty solid, but obviously the home form we can improve.

"We know that is where we need to do better and we are more than capable of that. If we can get the home form right, we won't be too far away."
