​Liverpool veteran Milner: This squad more experienced than title winning side | OneFootball

Liverpool veteran James Milner believes their squad has more experience, compared to the title winning team of two seasons ago.

The Reds are hoping to hit the heights they achieved in the 2019/2020 campaign, when they won the Premier League at a canter.

After failing to mount a creditable defence in 2020/2021 due to injury issues, Liverpool are now joint top of the table with Chelsea and Manchester United.

"I think that is the mentality you need. You can't dwell, whether you have a good performance or a bad performance. You need to move on to the next one," Milner told reporters after a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, per Sky Sports.

"You can't be too happy after a good one, you can't be too down after a bad one.

"If you have a couple of bad results and iffy performances, that is when it gets harder, but you look at this squad and it is more experienced than when we won the title.

"We had the pain of last year but it ended up being a really good year, with what we managed to achieve in the circumstances and coming with that late run (to qualify for the Champions League).

"But those experiences and feelings, as a group, we have been through them all together and that can only be a good thing."
