With starting midfielders Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai allowed to stay at home, Reds boss Slot put his faith in Harvey Elliott to lead the Liverpool midfield.

One fan said via X (formerly Twitter): “Harvey Elliott showed why Slot hasn’t given him a chance.”

“Games like these are why I can’t entertain Harvey Elliott in certain young player convos,” added another supporter.

Some fans even claimed it’s time for Liverpool to sell Elliott:

“Harvey Elliott won’t make it here.

Ship him to Brighton for £40m”

Another fan said: “I don’t think Harvey Elliott and Luis Diaz are good enough to play under Slot.

The midfielder failed to make any sort of impact going forward – something which was shown by Liverpool’s poor attacking stats against Plymouth.

Positioned slightly deeper than usual, you would have expected Elliott to contribute defensively – the stats however show that wasn’t the case.

Having failed to stake his claim against the Championship’s bottom club, Elliott has done himself no favours in terms of climbing up the pecking order at Anfield.
