Harvey Elliott Doesn't Want To Always Be A Supersub At Liverpool

JAKARTA - Harvey Elliott is starting to show his ambition at Liverpool. He wants to get more playing time and a place as a starter, not a supersub like the majority of his performances.

Throughout 13 appearances in the 2023/2024 Premier League, the 20-year-old midfielder has only started once.

The starter's appearance came when Liverpool played Brighton. He did not appear full at that time and was replaced as soon as he entered the second half.

"For me, I don't want to be known as a supersub. It's a good title, good, but at the same time I want to be in the team."

"This is the time for me to strengthen myself in that position again and hopefully I can play well. However, I have to be patient and maybe become a supersub again," said Elliott at ESPN.

Although not yet the main choice for Jurgen Klopp, Elliott is still patient. He is well aware that his journey is still long.

The attacking midfielder understands the need to develop even better until he gets the right to fill in the starter.

"I have to keep enjoying my football, playing with a smile. If it's as a supersub, then fine, I'll be happy to come in and do whatever I can for the team."

"I'm happy to be wearing this shirt, but this season I really want to improve my game," said Elliott.

Throughout this season, Harvey Elliot has been on the team's line-up 16 times. A total of 12 of them appeared as substitutes and one starter. While the remaining three matches he did not play Klopp.

Elliot had already scored one goal when Liverpool faced Crystal Palace in early December 2023. The goal also determines the team's victory.

In fact, Elliott just didn't get a place when the Red Man appeared in the Premier League. Another thing when Liverpool play in Europe.

The number 19 midfielder always appears as a starter in the Europa League 2023/2024 group stage league. In fact, he always performed full in the five parties before the group's sixth match.

In addition, Elliott has packed two appearances at the 2023/2024 EFL Cup. Both as starters, one of whom did not appear full.
