Harvey Elliott Player Thread (M)

Looked composed, quick and strong. I liked his tenacity and also a bit of a quality too.

Love his attitude

Just mentioned him in the match thread. Did very well when he came on. Wasn't an easy situation to come on in. Keep it going Harvey lad

Thought he was brilliant when he came on. Looks stronger as well this season.

Wow, scored with his left in the first half and done it again with his right in the second.

Me too, it’s a good article and it makes sone good observations. I think the biggest one for me is his physical growth this season. You can see he has been in the weight room, he looks much stronger now and it’s showing up in his play. It’s incredible to think he’s still only 20. Really excited to see him develop further in this young midfield, particularly if he can replicate those strikes for the under 21’s in a Liverpool shirt.

Coming on as a super sub seems to be a good position for him at the moment.

100% pass accuracy when he came on at weekend too, and what a shot he hit as well.

surprised pickfords arms were big enough to reach that tbh.

Absolutely. He's superb at it and it's really transforming games for us. You saw that from the first game of the season against Chelsea. He came on and really wrestled back control of the game in our favour to the extent that I was a bit disappointed we didn't find that winner.

The conundrum long term will be, how does he get his way into the starting eleven, and how can he be effective in that position from the off? It seems that he just doesn't gel or click when he starts games at the moment. There's quite a gap to bridge between being fantastic off the bench to him being fantastic from the first minute in a starting eleven. Bigger than any player I can remember in recent history.

Klopp trusts him, he will get plenty games, start most cup games, sub most league games, start some league games depending on fitness of sobbo & macca.

What you always get from Harvey (no matter how well he plays) is urgency and tempo. He moves the ball quickly, he breaks lines and likes to travel with the ball. I think that's why he is carving out the Supersub role at the moment because all of those things are usually needed when a manager makes a change.

Would have been kicking himself with that missed goal, with what would have been his first touch.

Kid thrashed in the U21s. We have some player here. Starting to look like he can be our next little magician.

2 nice goals (one from Tyler Morton)

Jury still out there but Harvey lacks speed and that is key in today's game. For the same reason Keita or Shaq failed at the highest level. But he is still very young, so we'll see. A big plus that he is one of ours, so you give players like that extra chances and extra time than with foreign players you just bought.

Absolute bullshit

You drunk, mate. Give your phone to someone else and sober up.

My MOTM tonight. Didn't give Fulham a second with his pressing,  and lots of nice touches as well. His best performance as a starter this season.

Yup he ran a lot, pressed tirelessly, was good when he had the ball and linked up well with his teammates and basically kept that level of performance for the whole 90 minutes.

The Fulham fan's booeing him seemed like it was just giving him even more energy and determination. 

Tireless, fearless and quality. He was there right to the end - that header at the death deserved to be a winner.

Was tracking back constantly - people forget how young he is, has to be one of the most experienced 20 year olds in world football.

Believe he's racked up 100+ appearances. Not bad for a 20 yr old. Hopefully stays fit as I think he's getting more consistent.

I am still divided about this kid. Sometimes I think  and sometimes  about him. He is slow, virtually no physical presence, but good ball skill and eye for a pass, kind of like a younger version of Shaq. I think he most definitely will make a good bench player to ensure proper depth but can he be a starting caliber player when everyone is fit and it's a CL final? I have no doubt Bradley has that potential, but Harvey? But still very early, he is still 3 years from hitting his prime.
