Against Manchester United today, Jamie Carragher was quite impressed with one Liverpool player.
The outcome this afternoon did not go entirely in Liverpool’s favor, there is no doubting it. Throughout the first half, the Reds had numerous opportunities, but they were unable to convert them.
Even though it was a challenging finish to make with the ball barely arriving behind him, Dominik Szoboszlai wasted a significant opportunity.
Liverpool often attempted to attack United from the front, but Andre Onana in goal held firm against the Reds’ continuous assault.
Jarell Quansah made a mistake that altered the course of the game in the second half. The timing of the substitution was also unfavorable. Just after entering the game, Curtis Jones turned off, which gave United’s Kobe Mainoo the opportunity to score.
But in the end, the 21-year-old’s outstanding contribution was largely responsible for the Reds’ comeback.
Jamie Carragher impressed by one Liverpool player on commentary
Liverpool had a bunch of subpar individual efforts today. Too many times, the Reds made poor choices.
Nevertheless, nobody is at fault. Although it was a team effort, Liverpool’s players will be aware that they need to perform far better than they did today.
A few brilliant sparks were present, though. Harvey Elliott gave yet another incredibly impressive performance.
When it counted most, the young player made the difference for Liverpool again, putting in a genuine effort up front.
He successfully converted a crucial penalty kick, keeping Liverpool and Arsenal tied for first place in the Premier League standings.
Jamie Carragher, who was commentating on Sky Sports, expressed his admiration for Elliott and added that he appeared to have the potential to have an impact each and every time he took the field.
Harvey Elliott has once again performed admirably off the bench, according to Carragher. “He seems like he can make something every time he gets the ball.”
Harvey Elliott’s Liverpool numbers
Elliott accomplished 95% of his passes in this game, won all of his duels according to Fotmob, and gave Liverpool the game-winning penalty.
He now has 11 goal contributions for Liverpool this season after winning that penalty, which is another goal contribution.
He has contributed 22 goals for club and nation overall, which is a fantastic return for such a young player. Right now, he’s in absolute great form.
