In one other irritating afternoon at Previous Trafford, it was the introduction of Elliott which once more sparked the Reds again into life.
Changing Wataru Endo nearly instantly after Kobbie Mainoo made it 2-1 to the hosts, the No. 19 received the penalty which Mo Salah transformed to salvage a degree.
Elliott was incisive in his passing and gave his aspect a renewed power, as soon as once more embodying the function of the affect sub.
It was a sense not misplaced on Liverpool supporters, as they took to social media and This Is Anfield’s feedback part to reward Elliott’s affect.
Jones & Elliott pulled the sport again for Liverpool. Introduced the stability again that Klopp’s midfield collection of Endo-MacA-Szoboszlai (identical as FA Cup match) didn’t have.

Elliott was but once more a vivid spark from the bench. Not simply the penalty however he was getting his head up, creating, passing forwards, getting crosses in.

Btw Harvey Elliott off the bench this season has modified the sport so many occasions.So efficient, makes actually optimistic selections, calm in tight areas, finds pockets so incessantly AND his maturity in each recreation is basically good. Does not usually present emotion on the ball irregardless of…

Constructive affect from Elliott off the bench however not sufficient to undo the harm.
That’s a cup exit and 4 factors dropped towards a Utd group that Liverpool have had on the ropes for an amazing majority of the 300+ minutes performed between the 2 groups.
Sickening stuff.

Elliott not being increased up the pecking order (as proven mid-week with the choice to start out Gravenberch) after what he is achieved the previous 2-3 months truthfully confuses me just a little. Him, Macca, and Endo are clearly our in-form midfielders. https://t.co/JuFU2Tu8Ka

It’s a quandary for Klopp, who has introduced Elliott off the bench greater than some other participant this season (23 occasions) and greater than his variety of begins (21).
The 21-year-old has usually proved more practical in its place, and is clearly completely happy in that function as he’s nonetheless one of many youthful gamers within the squad, however the goal will likely be to be beginning extra commonly.
Cameos like that seen at Previous Trafford ought to arguably be rewarded – which possible would be the case when Atalanta go to Anfield on Thursday night time.
