Topic: Harvey Elliott (Harvey Daniel James Elliott)

Did he play today?? I don’t think he was even in the squad?

Maybe against Chelsea U23's this morning.

Oh right. Fair enough.

[Persephone]

Elliott hasn't featured much recently, and a couple of times not even made the match day squad. Does anyone have any insight? Maybe a case of Klopp wanting to be cautious with his comeback or is he just not back to the level he was at before?

[newterp]

Probably because the ridiculous amount of talent we have now.

He was making starts in the beginning of the season with the same talent around (bar Keita). I think it may have to do with a drop of form, which is expected at his age. He played for the U23s, which may have been intended to give him game time.

But the injury clearly is a factor as was noted. Klopp is juggling a lot of pieces. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the bench Tuesday.

Agree about the injury, and I too hope he gets CL experience from the bench.

If Naby is still injured and Jones turns out to have a knock, we probably will see him on the bench. There is no way that Thiago, Hendo and Fab can play 90min every game.

19 today.

Happy Birthday to Harvey Elliott

[duvva 💅]

Would love to see him involved this Wednesday.

He kind of cemented himself as a starter in those first few games and was one of our best players before the injury. Hopefully he can find some opportunities to get back in before the end of the season as at his best he does offer something we don’t really have in the Foden, Silva buzzy quick footed highly skilled mould.

It’ll be tough to get back in as every game has something riding on it so playing yourself back into form isn’t really an option, but I hope he can find that level again soon. If not he’s still an amazing talent to look forward to in future

[riismeister]

Only been in 2 out of 7 match day squads this month and not played a second of first team football. Is he struggling with fitness or is there some other reason he isn't getting minutes at the moment?

I wouldn't read anything in to it. We've got a big squad and everyone's fit, someone has to miss out.

It's a bit ominous for him he's not making the bench at all but when we have near enough everyone fit then competition for places is very high and some will miss out on the squad. It's generally going to be Jones or Elliott, not both.

Because he had a bad injury - and every game in April and May is a final - we can't really afford for him to play his way back at the moment. I'd say that's why he's not featuring. When we did have a few injuries in January and February he was getting games. In the cup final for example he went from not being on the bench to coming on after Thiago went off in the warm up.

[reddebs]

We have to have something to worry about so it may as well be Harvey not making the 18 because we have nearly everyone fit and firing 😁

[Ghost Town]

'Ominous' lol

Peak Fromola, that

[El Lobo]

Fucking ominous

Parody, and not a good one

[Fromola]

'Ominous' lol

Just in terms of getting minutes for the rest of the season because of how big the games are while he's coming back from long term injury (as I went on to say). No big deal.

It's a bit ominbus for him, then...

Coming back from a major injury and in a super high stakes period along with everybody fit. Yea understandable he super talented but understandable

[GreatEx]

It's even more funny because in the very next paragraph he clearly explains why it's entirely understandable that Harvey can't be afforded game time right now and that it has no bearing on his future prospects.

[Boston always unofficial]

He's playing for the u-23's at the moment, was trying to find a stream then remembered we're not allowed to watch em cos of Palace v Leeds being on.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

No doubt hes very talented player, if he trains hard he's going to have a bright future

[newterp]

I can see Harvey handing in a transfer request given his limited playing time of late.

We should have seen the signs. The portents were ominous.

[newterp]

he's made the bench tonight.


(only because Jones and Tsmikas are ill. all signs still are ominous).

[farawayred]

Downhill for him from here on...

Last time he was not supposed to be in the team and he made it due to injury was a cup final. Now, just a semifinal...

Thought he looked very good today, considering he hasnt played much the last 2 months, very good performance at his age

[farawayred]

I expect a lot from him after another preseason. I may be harsh, but he's got the quality to take off like a rocket.

How's that harsh??

[farawayred]

How's that harsh??

He's young, he's bound to show inconsistency, but I expect him to be more like a seasoned player. I know it's not fair on him...

[Dubred]

Looked very lively last night.  He wasn't brought back too early a few months ago, the medical team would have been confident of that, but naturally after such an injury it was always going to take time to get back into the groove. 

Looking really good.

[Sinyoro]

Prior to him disappearing from first team duties, I noticed that he wasn't sprinting very well in games.

Last night his sprinting was very good and as for the rest of his game- potentially world class.

Once he is fully fit, it will be take over time.

Great prospect

[.........]

Very good performance considering the lay off and lack of minutes.

[newterp]

Needed to trust his right foot 1 step earlier on the 2nd half chance.

Good game overall!

It would also have been a massive boost to get 1st team minutes very early after coming back. If he'd not have had those minutes you could see him getting a bit frustrated over the past few months. Out for 3+ months and then not selected for another 3 months. But he played a bit, scored a goal, must have really helped the morale.

[Flaccid Bobby Fowler]

He is two years younger than foden. There is no reason why in two years he cant be at the same level and offering the same impact on games as Foden does for City. Similar type players - Dynamic, quick, great with he ball at their feet, great passing, more centrally inclined, goal scoring capability. I know our setups are different but he can 100% claim a spot in that midfield with a good pre season and no injuries. He was quality last night.

It’s a miracle for him to play football this season after breaking his ankle. I hope he plays more often but was surprised that he started. Although the didn’t affected the game much as I said it was already a miracle he was on the pitch.

Looking forward to see more good things from him.

True but Harvey unfortunately lost a year of development to a nasty injury.

Klopp is managing him very well to make sure that he is back at the same stage he would have been if the injury hadn't happened.

A lot of patience is needed

I thought this as soon as the game ended Tuesday night, I’m itching to see more of him, but the injury needs to be managed, and Klopp is doing it well. I forget he’s a kid, he will “always” be fit to play, it’s Klopp who has to make that judgement for him.
