City managed a thrilling 3-2 victory against Blackpool on Sunday, thanks to a brace from Carlos Tevez and one from David Silva.
“They put us under a lot pressure, which we knew they would. They’ve got a good home support behind them and they’re a good team that play it around really well,” Milner told Sky Sports.
“We managed to ride the storm, score three good goals, and hung on at the end.
“The best is to come but it’s the sign of a good team when they can win and not play the best football.
“Hopefully we can keep improving as a team, keep moving forward and hopefully you’ll see the best of us soon.”
