Harvey Elliott

[wiw]

Where do people see his long term position in the team?

Eventual replacement for Henderson?

First choice midfield at the moment (if everyone fit) would be Fab, Thiago and Henderson

think so, yeah. Can see him floating around a bit more with Trent maybe filling that zone in the middle and crossing from deep like Henderson does. We have a ridiculous amount of flexibility to do different things down that side which is exciting

[Pablo]

He is so intelligent with the ball, he reminds me of a Xavi/Iniesta in that regard.

However, he's also got great dribbling skills, an eye for a killer pass and he has the potential to score a lot of goals himself.

I think the nearest comparison for me is Phil Foden. I think he's that level of potential.

Time will tell but I’m not seeing it with him . Coasting is how I’d describe him at present.

You were singing his praises a few months ago. What's changed?

[frank the tank]

I wouldn't send him on loan, but right now I would put him as 6th choice midfielder.

Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson, Elliot, Keita are all ahead of him for me. Also, there is an argument that Oxlade and Milner should both be on the bench ahead of him - with Oxlade more likely to do something in the 20 minutes or so if we need a goal - and Milner more useful if we are defending a lead.

If Fabinho or Henderson got injured, then there is also an argument that Morten would be more useful to bring on too - if in a defensive capacity.

Good God. Two weeks ago he was being auded as one of the best in his age group and now, two wins later he's not even good enough to make a 25 man squad.

Jones has been a breath of fresh air since he returned from injury and two missed chances yesterday doesn't change that. There is absolutely no chance he goes on loan next season.

He’s got so much confidence in himself. No fear or trepidation on his return from a big injury at such a young age. And to make an impact and have an influence on the game on his return. The ball stayed mainly down the right after he came on. The thought of Trent, Mo and Harvey working together down the right side is seriously exciting.

[RedReet]

Aye Elliot starting to look like a bit of a freak. Hard not to get carried away.

[Pablo]

Comparing anyone to Harvey Elliot is a bit unfair really. He's such an exceptional talent. Yes Curtis isn't quite as good, but he's still a big talent in his own right.

Harvey Elliot has the potential to be world class IMO. He's got it all.

[Irishnev]

Yeah no way he's going on loan. I'm a big fan of his. Ideally he'd be more consistent but it's easy to forget he's only just turned 21 - inconsistency is normal at that age. Possibly the perception that he's struggling is exacerbated by Elliott's brilliance at just 18. Eighteen ffs.

Jones is already an important rotation option. He is only going to improve and see his game time increase - he’s got the lot except decision making which will come with time.

Elliott is do much better than I thought - his potential is frightening and he seems like such a good lad. We often overhype youngsters but we have some crop (class of 92 ) coming through and if we add Carvalho…… that is some English core into the future

It's still my main criticism of Curtis, I made it even when he had that bright game last time out, is everything seems to be done at too slow a pace. He probably needs a run of games to get his match brain going, but when he receives the ball he slows down and dawdles...i feel he's too scared to make mistakes sometimes, so plays it slow and steady, rather than at pace with a few risks taken.

Didn't have a great game yesterday but at his age that's to be expected. He's going to be an important player for us

Also, worth remembering we're usually **** after a break!

Fickle bunch in 'ere

[RedReet]

I’m at the point that I think if he doesn’t kick on before the end of the season that we’ll send him out on loan next season. He’s not going to get enough game time as he doesn’t warrant it but he’s got 3 months to convince the boss otherwise.
