Topic: Harvey Elliott (Harvey Daniel James Elliott)

[jepovic]

I thought he was a bit invisible the first 30 min or so, but then he got much more involved and that was a big reason why we looked better.
With Henderson playing more defensively, Harvey can and should be a major part of our attack

[Caston]

He looks amazing when he's in that 10 position behind the midfield, just play him there from the start instead of as a RCM.  Once Milner came on and we adjusted a little with a more defensive fullback, he flourished even more because he wasn't having to constantly cover for Trent.

Agreed.

[Son of Spion]

Man of the match tonight.

[SinceSixtyFive]

What a player - we were largely shit Eliott apart. He drove the team on despite the dross around him. His stamina is ridiculous. Would be surprised if he doesn't end up going to the World Cup

Jesus... I hope not.

I hope he doesn’t go but he absolutely should with the way he’s playing. Not convinced Southgate is capable of recognising what’s right in front of him anyway.

[Clint Eastwood]

I don't remember David Silva being that fast, or Juan Mata even during his good years.

[Bird Bird Bird The Bird Is The Word]

Absolutely brilliant. You could see his confidence build and build, he realised he was finding himself in great pockets of space and then that he could properly get his foot on the ball and express himself rather than playing one or two touch balls. No coincidence that the Elliot > Salah > [striker] chain found another goal.

Special player, special special player.

[Raid]

Ran the game in that second half. Special talent, love his link up with Mo. Will be something else when Trent joins their party again

[Oskar]

Sees things on the pitch that others don’t, plays with an incredible amount of intelligence for someone of his age and relative inexperience. And along with the technical ability, he’s got an endless work rate and willingness to scrap and do the hard yards when our backs are against the wall.

Absolutely love him - special, special player who is going to be outstanding for this club for many years to come.

[tubby]

Someone young is going to have to explain that celebration to me.

[gazzalfc]

First name on the team sheet. There is no question now.

[gerrardisgod]

Best player on the pitch by an absolute mile.

[amir87]

It's called 'The Covid Test'

[duvva 💅]

It’s called the smash and grab

Fucking hell.

Playing badly doesn’t turn this team into dross. Or would you prefer ‘deadwood’?

[killer-heels]

Havent been that keen on him previously but the game on Saturday and more importantly from 30 minutes onwards he was excellent and really stepped up.

The kid can;t take your nonsense anymore.

 He reads RAWK.

[jonkrux]

The boy is fucking class.
Stevie wonder can see that.

[Drinks Sangria]

We should seriously think about transitioning to a double pivot with a three behind Nunez, playing Elliott as the 10.

He was brilliant tonight and of the starters, the only one who had a good game. He really was excellent and showed massive character. A wonderful technician too whilst I’m using Brendanisms.

Don't forget 'a beautiful human being.'

[anandg_lfc]

Beast of a performance that. Never let his head down and kept pushing the entire time unlike the senior players around him.

Showed maturity beyond his years and needs to start replicating this every week. He looks like someone who could have done this for 120mins and then again do the same after a few days. Big set of games coming up and he will get into more spaces once the team starts getting more cohesive.

[OOS]

He works best in tight spaces. Excellent tonight.

[MonsLibpool]

Someone bless the lad with a bit more pace. Tis all I ask of you.

A bit more strength (it will come).

[Haggis36]

That was a quite incredible performance actually, wow.

Individual performances of the midfielders (both good and bad) aside, I'm still not sure playing him as a RCM within our current midfield set-up is necessarily a very natural fit or a long-term solution without tweaking the system, but at this point we just need to get him on the pitch as he's been levels above anyone else this season so far.

Movement, energy, tenacity, invention, courage on the ball. I mean maybe it stands out because of the absolute lack of those qualities elsewhere on the pitch, but it's really very impressive at the age of 19.

[Samie]

Klopp on Harvey Elliott:

"Harvey Elliott was the best player on the pitch, without a shadow of a doubt. It was nice to see he picks up from where he was before the bad injury." [BBC]

[MBL?]

He was incredible. There was a lot of so so performances out there especially in midfield but he kept plugging away and doing the right things. As said above he kept growing in confidence as the game went on.

The young and newer lads seem to be our only real spark at the moment. Hopefully the rest can kick into gear because we need them if we are to go at it this season.

[andy07]

Get him in a central attacking midfield position.  Only player on the team capable of playing an incisive pass through the middle.

[Ghost Town]

Amazing talent. Brilliant, energetic, driving, inventive presence on the pitch. If he were called Hervé Ellioti etc

(or if he'd cost 60m because that's all that seems to matter)

[RyanBabel19]

Outstanding player, he was so good all game and never stopped looking to move the ball quickly and keep creating.

Made a fool of Joelinton a few times with smart footwork and releasing the ball at the right times

[Hedley Lamarr]

Amazing talent. Brilliant, energetic, driving, inventive presence on the pitch. If he were called Hervé Ellioti etc

(or if he'd cost 60m because that's all that seems to matter)

To who ?  You'll be hard pushed to find a red that can't see what he is and could become. I'm just worried Southgate cottons on.

I know you are taking the piss but how much would it take for somebody to get him off us now? We’d laugh at a 60 mil offer for example.

Save our Hervé from cotton waistcoats!

[mattD]

Klopp to Elliott and Carvalho: "Well, here we all are now, all the lads".

The lads Harvey and Fab adding the Klopp spark that is missing in the others at the moment.

If this is the standard of youngsters we're building around with Klopp at the helm, we'll be alright.

[Ghost Town]

Agreed, his worth has shot up quicker than Zoom shares during the pandemic. He's made of star quality win

[MBL?]

Christ I hope he doesn’t notice or thinks he needs to back his current lads. He will get picked at some point it’s just about when.

[Sinyoro]

Harvinho, best player on the pitch tonight👏🏾

[newterp]

Top draw!

drawer, too!

[Son of Spion]

Harvinho, best player on the pitch tonight👏🏾

Ridiculous that he didn't get MotM.

[Dave McCoy]

He's a tweener, not really a forward and not really a midfielder. He looks great and his offensive passing output is insane. Just more a question whether we can build a functional midfield around him is the question.

[Samie]

I see a full on Face Turn for him in the future mate.
