James Milner’s assist stats in 2016 laugh in the face of all his doubters

No sign of Mesut Ozil.

James Milner is the number one provider of all the Premier League players this year. The English man has been front and centre of Jurgen Klopp's 2016 revolution at Anfield and he has turned it on of late, assisting an incredible amount of goals for the club as they surged to the Europa League semi-final and back up the domestic table. Milner took plenty of flak during the second leg Dortmund match when a number of his corners were hitting the first man but, even in that game, he became a hero, setting up Dejan Lovren for the injury time winner. With a cross. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/720719102143262720 His rich run of form has hit a whole new level recently though. A man of the match performance in the Merseyside derby only capped off what most people already knew anyway. James Milner is contributing a hell of a lot of goals. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/723086973754347520 https://twitter.com/LFC/status/723219791788445697 Compared to the rest of the league, Milner is out in front too. https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/722874034644525056 Think that's good?
