Milner has loads of pace. You'd find very few top central midfielders that would be even close to Milner in terms of speed, Ballack, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Essien, Carrick, Alonso, Barry. None of them could get close to Milner in a foot race.
Out of those players at their peak, Milner is quicker than maybe Alonso and Barry. You wouldnt expect Alonso to be quick either, given hes a passer, not a runner.
Milners got a good engine, but no pace. I never used to rate him that highly as a wideman because of his lack of pace, being switched to the middle has made this lack of pace less important and suited him.
He's quicker than Carrick, Barry, Alonso, Scholes, Lampard and Ballack.
Gerrard is a lot quicker than him. I'd say Essien is as well.
I dont think hed be quicker than Scholes, Lampard and Ballack at their peak.
My nans quicker than Carrick so he doesnt count
Anyway, dont suppose it matters.
He is quicker than them for sure. He use to run the 100m when he was younger. Not that been a top cm is reliant on been quick.
