"I am being very, very demanding myself to choose in each match the player to start and the players on the bench and the subs players, and firstly is always trying to get the best performance collectively, through individual players. Harvey is a 10 number in our structure, in our shape, and he plays some matches and there is still adaptation to add himself individually in our structure, the task we have."
"Of course, he is training well, and his commitment is being very well as well, but his performance was not enough (up to this point). At the same time, we have other players who can play as a 10 and they are performing well, and I have different players. This is the main reason he is not playing the last matches minutes,"
Harvey Elliott joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan with a possible permanent transfer but has made only five appearances and has not started the last three matches. High expectations followed his role in Liverpool's recent success and England U21 European Championship victory, yet immediate impact has been limited. Unai Emery demands more hours in training and greater tactical discipline from Elliott while acknowledging good training commitment. Elliott faces competition for the number 10 role from other performing players, and selection decisions reflect collective performance needs rather than individual reputation.
