Milner regulator
Established as a sentry, aligned in the right lane of the defense on recovery, James Milner remains the boss of the Reds.
He was the player who touched the most balls in Liverpool's 2-1 victory at Southampton.
120 balls hit for the 36-year-old veteran, who always plays fair.
A match size boss: 93% of successful passes (83/89), six last passes before a shot, 83% of duels won (5/6), four tackles.
However, 18 balls lost during the meeting for the one who played the entire 90 minutes.
But he is excused.

Firmino finds his superb
Injured several times in recent weeks, Roberto Firmino had only had one start in the league in the last three months.
This Tuesday evening, the Brazilian has found his class that we know him.
With the absences of Salah and Mané, and Diaz remaining on the bench, the 30-year-old striker assumed his leadership role.
76 balls touched, three key passes, five shots attempted for Firmino.
By his side, Jota was too clumsy, Minamino was interesting.
Solid Salisu
Some positive points to remember all the same in the Saints.
Left axial in this three-man defence, Mohammed Salisu was Southampton's most consistent defender and most interesting player on Tuesday night.
90% of duels won for the Ghanaian defender (9/10), who also succeeded in all his tackles (4/4).
Five balls recovered for this 23-year-old player.

Liverpool kids not up to par
Spread the word, Curtis Jones and Harvey Eliott stink of football.
Two players who are not shy with the ball.
However, the two young midfielders were not up to par at St. Mary's Stadium.
Long injured this season, Eliott, 19, was making his comeback, he who only played 30 minutes in the league in 2022. Only 50 balls hit, including 10 lost to him.
He was quickly replaced by Origi (65th).
Holder at his side, Curtis Jones was also too discreet.
The 21-year-old midfielder certainly touched 99 balls, however without really impacting the game of his team.
Three attempted shots, all off target.
Saints too feverish
Opposite, the Southampton players were too weak on their lawn.
A goal in the first quarter of an hour, after a crazy ride against Redmond (13th), and then much more.
It was not until the 88th minute, and another shot from Redmond, to see the team's second shot on target.
Four shots in total and only 29% possession for Ralph Hasenhüttl's players.
