Harvey Elliott

[Bobby Hundreds]

He's no defined role or position. There's nowhere in the team I'd say he has to be a starter there and there's nowhere I look and think that's the position where his future lies with us. So far he's a solid sub he comes on with energy, recycles the ball well but I think he's guilty of rushing play and jeopardising possession sometimes at times when we really need to be keeping possesion. I dont like him and Salah in that corner like some shit Timon and Pumbaa act.

 

He's 20 there's tonnes of time for all this shit to be worked out if it does. For now he's a solid squad option but not a prem starter for me.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Very lively when he came on and his cross for the equaliser was pure porn.

[Bobby Hundreds]

He's a great sub but he's got the Jotas for me meaning he's shite when he starts and the team functions worse. This season though he's easily been our best player coming off the bench.

[Anubis]

Four top notch crosses into the box tonight and only Diaz had the wherewithal to anticipate one of them.

Deffo more effective from bench than as a starter at present.

 

A lot of talent in there IMO - just not sure if he'll be able to nail down a position in our team - we'll find out in next couple of years i suppose.

It doesn't have to happen today. And in the modern game with 5 subs, I think it's alright to be a finisher as opposed a starter.

I don't have a problem with that - but in a couple of years if he is still in same spot then its a question that needs to be asked IMO.

For him maybe. But if he can come on and influence games from the bench, I'm good with that. First off the bench but maybe others are more suited to starting is fine, providing he can work with that and he's not expecting to be paid like a superstar. Having the skill to be a supersub is as valuable as any skill. 

 

I'm not Elliott's biggest fan by any stretch. I'm fearful each time he starts a game. But he's been our best sub consistently all season. 

[Megadrive Man]

It's worth remembering that he's still only twenty. He looks like he's gone up a level this season.

 

I still can't work out where his best position is though? 

 

Always seems to make a really good impact from the bench. 

[Section_31]

He's come on leaps and bounds. Playing with better players will make him a better player. Always brings energy when he comes on.

I'm really stating to love this lad now, he's gonna be phenomenal.

You might be on to something.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Love him. He's a smart player with bags of heart.

 

Shame about his barnet.

[Red Hot]

He turned the game around when he came on today and had a peach of a goal tt ensure we went top of the league .

[Kevin D]

I think he’s the most overrated player on this forum.

After Kelleher.

[Anubis]

Just helped get us to a final. And there is nothing any of you can do about it. Well in Harvey.

[aws]

Not a good game tonight but worked his socks off. 

[M_B]

He did ok. I think people forget he's only 20, which is credit to him.

Agree. It was a decent performance. Put in the required work but didnt do too much in the final third. One really good cross that could’ve brought a goal.

 

Decent squad player at the moment, and as you say only 20, which means he could well take further steps and be a top player. It took Jones a few years, he’s a key player for us now.

[VladimirIlyich]

Got worse the longer the game went on after a bright start. Doesn't seem to have the stamina for regular 90 minute games and is really one footed. A decent squad player if he's prepared to stick it out but I dont see him being a regular based on what we've seen so far.

[El Rojo]

Wouldn’t criticise any of our players at the moment. We’re flourishing in all four tournaments. Bit churlish to go looking for scabs to pick.

[Captain Turdseye]

Kev’s caught a couple of big fish with this one. 

[Mil-ing Around]

Don't want to be too harsh on the young lad but he looks like a championship player playing in the premier League.

 

Said it multiple times on here, if you're that small you've either got to be really quick or a great passer. He's neither. Takes the safe option out of fear and he lacks awareness. He also can't tackle or intercept. We could easily upgrade on him even if he is a squad player

That's the thing, not every youngster has to be the next Owen or Gerrard etc. Nothing wrong with some being squad players that can contribute over years to come, ones who don't quite make it can be sold to recoup £££ for the first team transfer budget.
