Harvey Elliott

[Exiled_red]

I think that he's one of those utility type players that's handy in a number of positions, but not the best in any of them so rarely gets to start games.

It would be a shame if he was to leave, but is he really going to be missed?

At the moment he is a good squad option and is still young (21) so will improve.

I think we’d need a change in system to see the best from him - he’s not displacing any of the regular outfield players in our current set up.

In Harvey Elliott's last 43 appearances for Liverpool, he's only started 16 of them, but has 7 goals & 12 assists - averaging a goal involvement every 97 minutes.

It’s a strange one as he looks like he’d fit in that advanced midfield role. Maybe it’s the physical side and he can’t press and chase like Slot wants. I wonder what happens with him next season. I hope he has a place and can get more time because he has that something the midfield lacks.

Is there not a forum where clubs can discuss refereeing matters behind closed doors? Surely this would be the time to bring up questions like this - play the clip - answers please..

Wrong thread to be asking this?...should there be a thread where we can discuss those *******s in black?[emoji1]
Anyway, to answer your question, I would have thought so. I think the LMA would have their own... ooh to have a peek at those!!!

Were var having a tea break at the time

Atwell is the only explanation you need...

That's fair, i don't recall what the assistants were doing. Again the fourth official doesn't really intervene...

Really it's just the ref and the assistant on that end. So two, not uncommon for two of them to miss something altogether.

Var did look at it IIRC and deemed it not a red.

It’s mental, if I went and did that to someone in the street I’d be charged with assault/ABH. I know football is a contact sport but this was an off the ball incident where Elliot was thrown to the ground with force.

One of the other 3 officials should have intervened and failing that, VAR should have intervened and sent the Ref to the monitor to make the decision.

It’s not just the referee though, there are 2 assistants (linesman) and a fourth official who can also intervene. So basically, 4 officials failed to spot one of the most obvious fouls/bookings you’ll ever see.

The Joelinton "challenge" was about 10yds off the ball, just grabbed by the shirt collar and ragged to the floor.

Its a hard yellow, but the ref wasn't even looking... VAR doesn't intervene with yellow cards.

That’s an atrocious tackle & a yellow card any day of the week, so what’s the purpose ofVAR again? clear & obvious mistake innit?

Of course Joelinton didn't get booked he gets away with dozens of fouls everytime we play them

Guimaraes too
