B. Rodgers: Milner gave us a winning mentality

"Liverpool" coach Brendan Rodgers praised James Milner, who arrived in the team this summer, stating that he not only strengthened the team but also gave them a winning mentality.

The 29-year-old midfielder, who has appeared in all matches so far this season, has won two Premier League titles with "Manchester City."

The experienced Englishman has become a key part of the attempt to replace the departed captain Steven Gerrard in the USA.

"James Milner is absolutely outstanding," Rodgers said before today's match against London's "West Ham."

"He is strong and a good person, but he is also an incredible footballer who has greatly strengthened our team's mentality."

"He is a winner, and his work with the other players is fantastic both on and off the field."
