"Liverpool spent a fortune in the summer transfer window. However, many of the moves have backfired. The big-money signings such as Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez have all underperformed at various stages. Arne Slot received a lot of credit last season for winning the Premier League title with the squad he inherited from Jurgen Klopp. However, now that he has tried to build his own side, it has become a disaster."
"Elliott was underused by Jurgen Klopp last season. This was despite the player contributing well when called upon. He even scored the winner against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League tie in the Round of 16. However, PSG went on to turn things around and go on and win the trophy. This season, Elliott has been sent on loan to Aston Villa. The attacking midfielder is surprisingly wearing the number nine shirt at Villa Park."
Liverpool invested heavily in the summer transfer window but multiple big-money signings have underperformed. Arne Slot earned praise for winning the Premier League with a Klopp-era squad but his attempt to build a new side has faltered, producing heavy defeats including a third straight three-goal loss to PSV Eindhoven. The defending champions sit 12th in the Premier League, an unprecedented position that increases the likelihood of a squad overhaul. Harvey Elliott was loaned to Aston Villa, wears the number nine shirt, has scored once in seven appearances, and has yet to register an assist. Reports indicate an obligation to buy tied to appearances, which may explain his limited use.
