Harvey Elliott “annoyed” and “disappointed” with performance vs. West Ham

Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has admitted he is his own worst critic and wouldn’t be happy if he wasn’t constantly providing goals and assists for his side.The 20-year-old was one of the best performers in the first half of the Carabao Cup, sealing a semi-final tie with Fulham in a 5-1 win at home to West Ham.

But despite some shots and some good positioning between the lines, he wasn’t among the top four scorers on the night. That honor went to Curtis Jones (2), Dominic Szoboslay, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.Elliott said a week ago that he did not want to be labeled a super-sub after making just nine appearances in 23 games this season, but he showed promise after what he believed was an unproductive night against the miserable Hammers.

It will get better. “I’m disappointed with myself. I should have scored a few goals, but I’m happy the team won,” he said. “It’s all well and good if I did what I did, but my job is to score and create and I didn’t do those things, so I have to think about going into the next game.”I’m happy with myself, but at the same time angry. But it’s not about who’s going to score, it’s about doing what we have to do and making sure we can get to the next level.”Toulouse, France – Thursday, November 9, 2023: Harvey Elliott of Liverpool during the UEFA Europa League Group E 4 match between Toulouse FC and Liverpool FC at Stade de Toulouse. Toulouse won 3-2.

Responding to his harsh self-criticism, Elliott added: “That’s how I grew up with my family, especially my dad, who was always critical of my progress and that’s what I have.”It’s not my place to go home and beat myself up, but it’s something I’ll have to think about over the next few days and take it if I get another chance.” It’s about making me a better player.”Attention turns to the Premier League again this weekend ahead of the second semi-final scheduled for January.

Arsenal’s visit on Saturday will give Jurgen Klopp’s side the chance to move up the table at Christmas. Despite his good performance, Elliott will likely return for this game and Salah will also return.“I don’t get mad if you don’t start. “Once you start, you know you have to perform to stay in the team,” he added.”This is football and the joy of the team. If you look at the depth of the team, you will see players who have not played and players who have not played but could play this weekend.

We have excellent quality. “We have to take it one step at a time and not think about the future or worry too much about the show tonight. “We have to make sure we do well this weekend.”He could be bigger than second, but Elliott said he couldn’t have too much of an impact on the title race at this stage. LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – Saturday 19 August 2023: Harvey Elliott of Liverpool during the English Premier League match between Liverpool FC and AFC Bournemouth at Anfield. “There is still a lot to do and there are still many games before the end of the season,” he said. “It’s the Premier League and you never know what’s going to happen and it could be a big game.”We will win. Nothing good comes from us. We just have to be sure
