Very few people can question Liverpool Manager Arne Slots tactics or personnel choices this season.
The Dutchman arrived last summer and won the Premier League against Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta on his first attempt.
Despite this, young Englishman Harvey Elliott is one player some Liverpool fans feel has been underutilised.
Elliott, a young attacking midfielder, featured much more heavily under predecessor Jürgen Klopp in the 2023/2024 season.
In this player analysis, we will complete a scout report on Harvey Elliott style of play.
We will analyse why he may be ill-suited to the new Liverpool under Arne Slot and explain why he could be a bargain purchase for clubs looking to improve ahead of the next Premier League Season.
Harvey Elliott Player Profile
Harvey Elliott is a 5-foot-7, left-footed attacking midfielder.
He weighs approximately 67 kg and has a relatively small build compared to other players of a similar stature.
He typically plays best drifting inside and cutting in onto his strong left foot.
As such, he thrives in a right-sided central-midfielder role or as a central-attacking midfielder behind the striker.
He has also been used as a winger, primarily for Blackburn Rovers, although he potentially lacks the speed required for this position at the top level.
Harvey Elliott Heat Map
Elliott has a relatively unique profile in that he lacks the typical speed and physicality of the majority of Premier League attack-minded players.
Instead, his strengths lie in his intricacy and technicality.
