Milner is versatile, strong with both feet and has an impressive range of passing, whether it is playing the short, simple ball or hitting a devastating, long-range delivery. Against Bolton, his crosses led to three goals and he scored one himself.[LNB] Party time: James Milner celebrates with his Villa team-mates after his goal[LNB] Looking ahead to England's friendly against Brazil on Saturday and the World Cup, Milner said: 'It's a nice thing to have at the end of the season, something to aim for.
