Clinton Morrison on what Harvey Elliott is worth next season

Right in front of Gareth Southgate, who was in attendance at Villa Park on Monday night, Harvey Elliott certainly showed what he was capable of.

He was involved in Liverpool’s first goal, forcing an own goal from Emiliano Martinez with his cross in the first two minutes of the game.

He also provided the decisive assist to Jarell Quansah from a well-taken free-kick for Liverpool’s third goal of the game.

Speaking on BBC 5 Live, Clinton Morrison was very impressed with Elliott’s performance and revealed that he believes the midfielder deserves more opportunities at the club next season.

“He’s better in that middle role,” Morrison said.

“He picks passes, has great delivery on set pieces and has a bright, young future. He will want more opportunities. The new manager should give him more opportunities, I like him.”

Morrison is right, Elliott works very well in that middle role. He has also been brilliant since the start of the year and certainly deserves more time on the pitch.

It is a testament to his talent that since February 10, no Liverpool player has more goal contributions than Elliott (12) for the Reds in all competitions.
