Elliott, who has not started a league game for Liverpool this season, said: “I’ve already played almost 150 games for Liverpool [137] and I feel like I’m very experienced in that aspect.
So there are moments within the season where I am getting angry, I am getting frustrated because I want to play, but at the same time I need to respect the situation and I need to respect the manager’s decisions.

He said: “We’ve had very honest conversations and open conversations.
I just need to make sure that I’m ready in moments like this where I can contribute.
Just make sure I’m in the right mind frame to come on and influence the game.”
