The Liverpool player who shone against Manchester City and is not Mohamed Salah

One of the players that Jürgen Klopp bet on in the match against Rangers was Harvey Elliott, giving him results in midweek in the Champions League not only for his goal but also for everything he offered in attack, earning with that display his starting place against a Manchester City that suffered a lot on the right side where he was placed.

Elliott's incredible performance on that right side against the runners-up in the English competition could be the temporary solution that Klopp needs in the absence of Luis Díaz on the left flank, with the German striker not breaking his head too much by only moving his players in that area, making room for the young Englishman to be the danger generator that could lead to a goal for Mohamed Salah or Roberto Firmino.

Despite Harvey Elliott's lack of consistency since returning to Liverpool for the 2020-2021 season, the Brit has shown signs of being one of Liverpool's promising youngsters in the short term, with the 19-year-old having to take advantage of these types of injury-ravaged opportunities to earn the approval and trust of a Jürgen Klopp who is continually looking to find that positive balance in his performances in both the Premier League and Champions League.

Although the lack of consistency in Elliott's play resulted in a lack of pace at times during the match against the Cityzens, in general terms the midfielder's interventions were more than acceptable, with the Reds fans who spoke about him on Twitter applauding his commitment during the 73 minutes he was on the pitch acknowledging his great work.

Harvey Elliot was one of the best

Among the negative aspects that can be generated around the more advanced position that the Briton occupied during this match is the positioning of Mohamed Salah behind Roberto Firmino, with the Egyptian disappearing on some occasions when his teammates went forward, or he himself missed the opportunities that came his way when he missed his crosses or passes.
