Harvey Elliott is ready to fight for his Liverpool place under a manager who believes in him, writes Ian Doyle
For the second season in succession, Harvey Elliott could celebrate scoring for a side that racked up nine goals in a record-equalling win. But the situation the Liverpool midfielder finds himself in at present is significantly different to that of 14 months ago.
On a personal level, his outstanding performance for Lee Carsley's England U21s - having in the summer helped them win the Euros for the first time in 39 years - was a timely confidence boost after a difficult showing four days earlier for Liverpool at Brighton.READ MORE: Harvey Elliott speaks out on England fans booing Jordan Henderson
But he has had to do much of his learning through observing from the bench during the last six months, in the Premier League at least. Indeed, having appeared in every league match ahead of being rested completely for the trip to Chelsea last April, Elliott has since started just two of 18 top-flight games. And it hasn't gone unnoticed that Liverpool have lost only once in that time, the controversial reverse at Tottenham Hotspur last month.
But it's worth recalling just how much experience Elliott, while still only 20, has accrued at Liverpool. Signed in the summer of 2019, he made his senior Reds debut a few months later and although subsequently spending a season on loan at Blackburn Rovers and missing a large part of 2021/22 through injury, he has made 75 appearances.
