Milner delivers 'boring but true' verdict on Genk win

"I thought we were good at times," James Milner told BBC after the final whistle at Anfield. "The boys keep coming out and try to keep that tempo high. It could have been a lot more comfortable but they made it difficult. I'm just pleased to get the result.

"Set-pieces are always going to be dangerous. There were six changes tonight so the hardest things to pick up are always going to be shape but it's something we can look at to improve.

"Every game is tough in the Champions League. It's a boring saying but it's true! We need to finish the job now. We are in a good position."
