Klopp compares Milner to a 'very good red wine' as he talks up England return

Following Liverpool's 1-1 draw away to Arsenal, the German singled out his veteran midfielder for both his performance and impact on the collective.

Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on veteran midfielder James Milner following Liverpool's 1-1 away draw on Saturday against Arsenal.

Although Milner's goal just past the hour gave Liverpool the lead in a match that proved a stern test for both sides, Klopp admitted the midfielder had sterner words for his teammates at half-time.

An open first stanza had Klopp cutting a frustrated figure on the touchline, unhappy with the team's defensive shape. Before he could relay his thoughts, however, Milner aired his own grievances.
