The crazy situation that has put Harvey Elliott’s promising career on hold - stuck at nine games for Aston Villa on loan - is deeply frustrating on a human and professional level. It looks even crazier given the struggles of Villa’s squad players against Spurs. And also Liverpool’s need for some invention and energy, including a stronger option on the right against Manchester United. What a sad waste of a year for Elliott after a terrific Euro Under-21s where he was Player of the Tournament. He just wants to play. Last summer Elliott was looking forward to the season and hoping to force his way into the England senior squad. This loan with obligation to buy after 10 games has proved a millstone given Unai Emery doesn’t want to buy. You have to feel for Elliott. Clubs, PL, PFA and FIFA (because of the two-team rule) have to work to ensure a young player’s career isn’t put on hold again. Elliott deserves better.


Team news is in for our clash with Manchester United ✊ #MUNLIV


[🟢] NEW: Liverpool are aware of the situation of Denzel Dumfries, who turned 30 last weekend, at Inter Milan. He has a £21.7m release clause in his contract this summer and Liverpool need to give serious thought to their options at right back. Great faith has been placed in Conor Bradley. A replacement for Alexander-Arnold was not sought last summer, but Bradley’s subsequent injury problems created issues at full back that negatively affected the season, forcing the redeployment of numerous players there.
