Harvey Elliott, the talented 20-year-old midfielder, has expressed his desire to move away from being known as a suρer-sub at Liverpool and instead aims to secure a regular spot in Jürgen Klopp’s team. While Elliott has made significant impacts coming off the bench this season, including a late winning goal against Crystal Palace, he understands the need for patience and seizing opportunities in a squad filled with top-class players.
The upcoming Europa League match against Union Saint-Gilloise presents another chance for Elliott to showcase his skills, as Klopp plans to field a team with a blend of experience and youth. However, Elliott is determined to establish himself as a regular starter and not be solely labeled as an impact substitute.
He stated, “I don’t really want to be known as a suρer-sub. It’s a great headline, a nice one, but at the same time, I want to be in the team. It’s time for me to establish myself in that position again and hopefully get a good run of games. But I need to be patient and maybe be the suρer-sub as well.”
Elliott emphasized the importance of enjoying his football and playing with a smile, whether it’s in a starting role or as a substitute, and he is willing to contribute in any way possible to help the team. He is determined to take his game to the next level this season and make a significant impact.
