Harvey Elliott gives five-word response to Liverpool fan's Instagram comment

Liverpool's Harvey Elliott has quickly become a key player for Jurgen Klopp after starting the Reds' last two home games against Burnley and Chelsea.

Elliott had a successful season on loan with Blackburn Rovers last term and an impressive pre-season, that saw him take up a new role in midfield, has earned him a spot in the first team.

He was one of Liverpool's standout performers in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea last weekend and his performance earned plenty of plaudits from pundits and fans.

However, that hasn't stopped supporters sharing their advice for the youngster.

In response to Elliott's comment on his girlfriend's recent instagram post, a supporter said: "Try pass to other team mates next time, use your pace, dribbling speed and shoot to score. Help our team."

To which the 18-year-old jokingly replied "Cheers mate will remember that."

Speaking after Saturday's game against the London club, the youngster said: "I just take every opportunity in my stride. Obviously 10 minutes against Norwich, then my first start against Burnley, so [I'm] just taking it bit by bit, just grateful for all the opportunities I've been given.

"I'm just thankful for the coaching staff and for the team for believing in me and giving me these opportunities.

"When you're on the pitch you've just got to focus, you've just got to give it 100 per cent and you focus on the excitement after.

"It's every boy's dream to play in front of this crowd at Anfield and to put on this red strip."

Elliott is set for a huge breakout season and has already earned his first England U21 call-up ahead of their international games in September.

They will play Romania in a friendly on Friday before facing Kosovo next Tuesday in a U21 Euros Qualifier.
