You can often tell a lot about a team’s spirit by simply observing and trying to gauge the level of camaraderie within a group. Although he has often shown himself to be a model professional, banter is not something you necessarily associate with James Milner – with the midfielder gaining a reputation for being ‘boring Milner’.
Therefore, when he took to Twitter to mock his teammate Andrew Robertson in public, many supporters were pleasantly surprised.
Is James Milner Liverpool's unsung hero?
Yes
No

What do we think?
James Milner showed a different side to him with this tweet and these fans loved it. Signed on a free transfer in July 2015, the 34-year-old has made 205 appearances for the club but despite only starting 24% of Liverpool’s Premier League fixtures this season, he remains an integral part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad. His influence over the youngsters and willingness to support their development has proven to be invaluable in recent weeks and he is arguably one of the club’s unsung heroes.
