Turkey teeth my lord #avfc

@AVFCOfficial No mings?

Tonight's starting XI for #AVLLIV 👊

@johntownley11 But doesn’t bring him on the European games? Can’t see as to how Liverpool are to blame here

Unai Emery insists that Harvey Elliott's lack of game time was due to both #AVFC and Liverpool protecting their own interests. "We got responsibility when we signed him, but Liverpool had responsibility when we were speaking in December and January." birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

@danbardell Elliott for being the ultimate professional

#AVFC’s player of the year awards will be coming soon. Who should win the top gong? roundtable.io/shortUrl/ADhu7…

@danbardell @The1874Podcast If we had £50m in the budget to sign one player who would it be?

🎙️ Q&A @The1874Podcast. Any questions for me? #AVFC

@AVFCOfficial Players ain’t turned up, just like Sunday

On to Thursday.

@henrywinter Should be voted #avfc player of the season for his profrssionalism alone

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.

Why not play Elliot if we were just going forfeit the game? #avfc

Some players played themselves out of contention for Thursday and likely to be gone in the summer #avfc Mings Sancho Bogarde
