Harvey Elliott Player Thread (M)

Top performance from the wee man.

So where would u position the kid in the pecking order? Here‘s my take:

Hendo > Fab > Elliott > Keita > Milner > Thiago = Ox = Jones

Elliott displays more work ethic than Naby and can pass as well (saw the beauty to Mo that was offside?). Milner is just The Führer, great work ethic, no nonsense style, but lacks the finesse. Thiago has finesse but makes arrogance mistakes, also slow and too passive, not as strong in tackling as Milly. If Jürgen agrees with me it means it could be a long season for Thiago, Jones and Ox if everyone stays healthy. I could underestimate Thiago, maybe that‘s a flaw in my theory. But in any way: we are loaded at midfield.

Good thing Klopp will probably not agree with you. 
I mean no offence, but you are overreacting a little bit. Yes, Harvey was very good last night, but he isn't at the level of Keita, Milly or Thiago. YET.
I don't think it's fair, or healthy, to place that kind of expectations on a kid.

Pretty sure Hendo, Fab and Thiago (which you are definitely underestimating  ) will be our main trio.
Also, we are not talking much about Jones these days after his injuries, but don't forget how well he started last season. At times, he carried the team.

What a kid, he will saves millions. He has the confidence which many young players lack and cannot be learned.

His chest control was brilliant and played like a mature player. Burnley tried to bully him but he was not fussed.

Definatly a great player in there played well made a couple of mistakes but was very positive well done

Top performance today.

Kid really is the real deal.

100%

What a player he's going to be.

Forget Grealish and Foden I think this kid will be even better than them.

I think him and Mo are gonna form a special partnership.

Expect Harvey to set Mo on his way, quite consistently this Season and beyond!

I'm learned to not over excite of our young players but delighted for Harvey on his great debut game performance. Hopefully he keep working hard and develop to fulfill his potential.

Elliot should take the 23 shirt

Love him, he looks so good on the ball. I reckon he’s our next Coutinho

Good video on Bt sport with the lad.

Really bright performance from Harvey at the weekend, i've kept checking in to see when the vid cut of his every touch became available and have pasted it below. He will certainly be good for Salah, he set him off more than a few times and also linked well with Trent. Let's not get too carried away but he looks like he will be the real deal at this. Physically he has certainly come in the last 12 months and his confidence on the ball is fantastic for one so young. Also love his work-rate, he has cottoned on to the fact that you don't get anywhere near the team without this in a Klopp side.

I think it's very early to be assuming he will start once all our midfield options are fully fit and available but he will certainly get some minutes this season.

Had a great game what a ball to Salah for the goal that was chalked off

Elliott against Burnley:

Pressing actions: 27 (1st on the team, ahead of Jota and Trent at 16, and Keita and Tsimikas at 14).

Touches in attacking 3rd: 32 (ranks 3rd behind Trent and Salah).

Carries: 54 (1st).

Progressions (moving the ball 10 yeards or more in midfield/attack): 10 (ranks 1st in the team).

Pass completion: 86% (2nd, only Matip had higher).

Key passes: 3 (3rd behind Trent and Tsimikas).

Definitely an all-round job done very well.

He's a gem and should be ahead of Thiago in the pecking order ! Him and Curtis could be our future midfield !

Now I wouldn't go that far just yet. Thiago is still a supreme footballer.

Huge test for the boy, flew through it

Considering his age and the level of players surrounding him on both sides, stand out player of the game for me.

I'm trying really hard not to get too excited, but the "kid" is making it difficult. What a talent.

Big time. If anything the more veteran players needs to start picking up his runs more often. He was our danger man today.

He's gonna be special, isn't he...

Was the best player for Liverpool today

This kid looks good.  It was a big decision to play him today and he definitely didn't let anyone down.  He had a couple of attempts at goal that would have brilliant.   But so far so good best player on the pitch today especially in attack. 2 starts 2 very good performances can't ask for more.
