James Milner Urges Teammates to Keep Pushing

The vice-captain wants the team to use the Aston Villa victory
as a boost forward.

At times it wasn’t pretty on Friday when Liverpool defeated a
weakened Aston Villa side to advance to the next round
of the FA Cup. However, given the current form that
the Reds find themselves in, watching our forward players score
again was like a balm to the soul, even if it was only the in the
third round of a domestic cup.

James Milner, who played at left-back to give Andy Robertson a
much deserved rest, hopes that they can use keep pushing on after
persevering in this game.

“[…] We’re getting into areas but not getting the right final
ball, the right run,” . “That’s been the story of the last few games as well,
so it’s good for us to work on that and we need to keep improving.
You can never fault the effort of us but at times things aren’t
quite coming off at the moment and we need to keep working hard.
You saw the attitude of the boys – they’re pushing hard to put
things right.”

Despite some lackluster performances and bad results, no one is
doubting the effort that the players are putting into every match.
Their commitment to Klopp and the team has been clear, even as
things have failed to click on the pitch.

Every slump in form under this manager has been temporary, and a
win next week against rivals Manchester
United would be a strong way to kickstart another good run of
results in the new year.
