Coming in to say that Rio deserves to get significant minutes this year. Sorry, Rodrygo.

Why would you be angry? Thereās no doubt a good player there but if he doesnāt fit with what Slot needs or he wants to play more itās not the end of the world for him to move on to pastures new.

Nobody is being āpushed outā. The lad needs games and a parting of the ways is the best thing for everyone.
Would you rather we hadnāt signed Wirtz?

I love Harvey and he carries himself with pride in his association with this club. He loves to wear that badge.
Iām sure the club would gladly keep him as a 5th or 6th choice midfielder. But he wants to play. He doesnāt want to spend his prime years rotting on the bench. And he just isnāt good/consistent enough to supplant the guys ahead of him.
Maybe things wouldnāt been different if he didnāt get hurt and miss out on so much time to start last year. Maybe he would have integrated better into Slotās side.
But now, heās entering the beginning of his physical prime. He needs to play week in and week out. He should go to a quality club where he can make that happen.

Sad for Elliot he loves the club butā¦. Just below our level in my opinion. Good money in please.
Have we heard anything specificā¦
Iām very happy with Wirtz, but even with him here, there is definitely a place for him in the squad. Iāve written āif heās pushed outā, meaning if he must go against his wishes because he gets marginalized by Slot like at the end of last season. If he choses to go because he wants to start every game, then fair play, he can go. But looking in from the outside, it looks like he must go against his will, and I donāt like that to be honest. Heās a gem of a player, and there are enough minutes here for him to further develop himself; if Slot makes room for him, that is. For instance as an understudy for Salah and Wirtz, and starting every cup game. The lad is 22 ffs.
If he decides to go because he hast lost patience or belief to make it here, then of course itās different, Iāll wish him well wherever he goes.

With Harvey looking at the new players we have just bought, and whom are expected to be thrust into the starting elevenā¦ all of them, are a similar age or younger than him.
If that doesnāt spell out a message to him, then not sure anything would.
AS has had plenty of opportunity to use him last seasonā¦ for reasons known only to AS himself, he never acted in such a way by utilising the lads talents, nor, has he shown any clue that Harvey fits into his plans, either short-term or long-term.
The lad needs to put himself first and find a club were he can flourish to his full potential - no shame in that..!
I think you are looking for conflict here.
If there is one thing to come out of last season, itās that Slot has earned the right to manage this team as he sees fit. He didnāt give Harvey a lot of game time last year, and he won the league. Iām not sure itās really on to start criticising him for pushing out Harvey.
As Iāve said for a while, Harveyās biggest issues are something he can do nothing about. He is small and he lacks pace. That could be overcome if he was at a team willing to build their attack around him, but he is nowhere close to being good enough to justify Liverpool doing that.
