The 31-year-old is the youngest ever permanent coach in the Premier League, coming over from St. Pauli in Germany.
"I'm getting flashbacks," Milner told Sky Sports.
"There is a good mix of the last manager (Roberto De Zerbi), who was build-up orientated, but maybe a bit of Jurgen Klopp thrown in.
"In terms of how we defend especially, the focus is on high intensity, counter-pressing and quick reactions to turnovers.
“The manager has put his own stamp and intensity on things, he wants us to play front foot with and without the ball."
