Is Elliott the secret weapon about to explode ?

[Judge Jules]

We've all done far worse things than that at 16. He deserves a bit of grace, don't u think ?

Yes. It might have been ill-advised but it's ludicrous that he got an FA ban for it.

 

[Red rose]

He deserved a knighthood for calling Kane a mong because he is a mong

Ah yeh
I Would agree .

I think "spectacular" is a bit much. I think he looks talented obviously, but I just worry he'll suffer from not really having a defined position with us that suits him. He's not quick enough for that inside right Salah role, and I'm not sure he's dynamic/physical enough for a Klopp midfield. I'm not as convinced he'll be a big star for us.

Encapsulates exactly how I feel.

 

[Woland]

I think with having a big dude up top and Bobby running his contract down you could see us playing with a number 10, and I think he'd be pretty good at that.

It’s going to be interesting discovering which one of Elliott and Carvalho stakes the bigger claim this year for the likely Attacking midfield / no. 10 slot.

My money’s on the latter as he looks pacier, more dynamic and a likelier goal scorer. Elliott has guile galore but I can’t shake off the feeling he’s something of a Shaqiri type and that’s ultimately a barrier in a Klopp system.

Apparently changing shirt number to 19.

The thing that shaqiri needed to be perfect in a klopp system was smart work rate, which Elliott has in bucketloads. Shaq never seemed to press effectively.

A good point well made…

 

[rurikbird]

Decent thread on Elliott’s position next year and how he fits into the team. “NFT midfield” is a new one…

 

[Judge Jules]

A good point well made…

Agreed. When he was doing his thang Shaq was effective and turned in some good displays. The problem was that he didn't cover enough of the hard yards.

The longer this summer goes on, the more i think we're changing our formation this coming season. We're set up perfectly squad wise for 4231

I don’t think we are at all.

I reckon we’re sticking with the 433 but with different options in the positions.

We probably will stick at 433, but i do feel like it's not an effective way of playing with the squad as is. Feel like it could hamstring and stifle some people.

More than happy to be proved wrong however

Don't let it bother you. I'm pretty sure Ken didn't like my

"Is Sane in the Game Frame?" thread title either, and that shit was genius.

Such a shame you’ve been resting on your laurels ever since.
Could you be the Joe Dolce of SCM?

When you create a timeless classic like that, you've nowhere else to go. I guess Dolce felt the same, in his own lesser way.

“Virgiling on the vandijkulous” was the best thread title ever. And the most satisfying conclusion to a transfer saga in my memory.

That’s taking 23 years off him.

Still to hit his “African peak” though.

Which peak? Mount KillManeDjourou?
