Haha...you don't wind up being a player on one of the best teams in the best league in the world by just having speed...if that were the case then I'd be playing for Arsenal too because I have elite speed.
Out of curiosity...would you want Milner on the wing, or in the middle? What would your starting midfield look like, for that matter?
How many times did Walcott "wind up" defences? He did occasionally e.g against Barcelona. But other than that he's been utter crap. Believe me, he's been horribly off form this season. Milner is not as fast and flashy as Walcott but he has the end product most of the time. Thats the most important.
I'd keep Milner as a backup for the left/right midfield. No point playing him in the middle as you have 2 super class attacking midfielders (Gerrard, Lampard). Milner is not a holding midfielder either, so I think he should only be a backup for the wings. Reserve the middle for Gerrard or Lampard paired with a holding midfielder (Carrick/Barry)
In a 4-4-2 formation, my midfield would probably be:
Gerrard - Lampard - Barry - Lennon.
in a 4-5-1:
------------------Rooney---------------------
----------------------------------------------
Milner/SWP-----------------------------Lennon
-------------Gerrard---Lampard---------------
-------------------Barry----------------------
