Elliott’s Impact in Limited Minutes
Harvey Elliott may not be a regular starter for Liverpool this season, but his hunger for success remains stronger than ever. The 21-year-old midfielder made a significant impact in just four minutes against Paris Saint-Germain, scoring the winning goal in the Champions League last-16 first leg.
Despite his game-changing contributions, Elliott has yet to start a Premier League match this season, accumulating just over 500 minutes across 18 appearances. With competition from Mohamed Salah and Liverpool’s attacking depth, he has found it difficult to secure consistent game time. This has led to speculation about a potential move away from Anfield, though Elliott has consistently dismissed such rumors.
Frustration Turned into Motivation

In a candid interview, Elliott admitted that his limited role has been frustrating but emphasized his respect for manager Arne Slot’s decisions.
“There are moments where I feel angry and frustrated because I want to play. But I respect the manager’s decisions. Some games I’m needed, some games I’m not. That’s just how football is.”
Instead of allowing frustration to hold him back, Elliott is using it as motivation to improve and prove his worth. He acknowledges the need to remain composed and focused, understanding that football is filled with ups and downs.
“I need to use that anger and frustration and turn it into motivation. It’s about being there for the team, even if I only play for a few minutes. Confidence builds with small moments, and I’m determined to make the most of every opportunity.”
A Bright Future Ahead?
Elliott has now scored in each of Liverpool’s last three Champions League matches, demonstrating his ability to step up when called upon. His commitment to hard work and continuous improvement could soon earn him a more prominent role in Slot’s plans.
