Think I must watch a different player to most on here, been one of our best players across the season IMO
Other players get praise for making things happen but Elliott doesn't often seem to get the same despite it being something he offers in most appearances. Every time he's coming on I think we'll get at least one big chance now and generally he provides with a deep cross from the right hand side or having a go himself.
From all the reports we'll be playing with a 10 soon, think he's a very important player and you could be forgiven for thinking he's a lot older than he is
I think having him as a 10 who then defends /presses as a forward in a 442 (same as what De Bruyne and Odegaard usually do) shape would suit him more than as an 8 in a 433* but don't think you can do that woth Salah as a winger. I guess the worry for him would be that he gets moved around again with a new manager and so ends up as a bit of a utility player, which is still like a fien career to have, but he may benefit more from a run of games in one position/role
