One of the biggest surprises that both fans and Jurgen Klopp found in their game against Manchester City was in the attacking sector with the starting line-up of the British youngster, Harvey Elliott, as the midfielder in the minutes he was on the pitch was able to generate that constant sense of danger that pushed the opposition back on repeated occasions, being the man of greater clarity in a Reds attack that was inconsistent even with Roberto Firmino up front.

Having been bought by Liverpool when he was taking his first steps at Fulham, this institution has a special meaning for Elliott, especially when all this time he has sought his growth to one day be the one who occupies a place in the starting line-up with the renovation that is already being carried out by the German tactician. Part of the confidence that Klopp has in the 19-year-old was seen in the last week when he was called upon to play against Rangers and Manchester City.

Although Harvey was unable to repeat and score as he did a few days ago in the Champions League, the Reds midfielder was delighted with the goal scored by team-mate Mohamed Salah, showing his inner fan after the final whistle by fiercely punching the seat in front of him as a sign of his enormous happiness at his team's win over one of their most hated Premier League rivals.

Lack of experience under multiple situations means Elliott is still an inexperienced player in Jurgen Klopp's squad, for while he has some experience when he went out on loan to Blackburn Rovers F.C. in the English Football League Championship for a season, the demands of a team like Liverpool mean that even the best player in the squad is questioned and criticised on a match-by-match basis.

Harvey Elliott fits in with Liverpool as a player and a fan

With the injury to Luis Diaz and the uncertainty surrounding Diogo Jota, the Briton has a valuable opportunity to see more starts this season under Jurgen Klopp, having to make the most of these last few games before the temporary suspension of the English competition for the World Cup, weeks in which his teammates will surely try to return to his place.
