Brighton covered 116km to Liverpool’s 108km, and the most damning part was that James Milner — now 40 — was right at the heart of the side outworking them.That stings even more given Milner’s history at Anfield. Just how bad do you want Arne Slot gone? 😬 Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images Seeing him, in Brighton colours, still covering ground and showing more bite than Slot’s midfield unit was a brutal reminder of what Liverpool are missing.

Liverpool aren’t running enough and James Milner showed it At 40, Milner should not be outrunning Liverpool’s engine room — but he was, and that is a serious problem.Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch, in particular, have looked leggy for much of the campaign. Those numbers are bad enough in isolation, but they look even worse when you remember Milner is 40 and the Liverpool players around him are in their physical prime.

Wirtz is one of Liverpool’s most gifted players, but scenes like that feed the argument that this squad can still be too easy to outrun and overpower when the game turns into a physical contest.Milner deserves enormous credit, of course. Where do you rank James Milner in the pantheon of Liverpool greats?
