As for Harvey, I always liked him tbh

I'm convinced Slot is off his rocker mate, either that or he's a complete chancer who was propped up by Heitinger last season. Look at Isak, cost us the GDP of a small nation, spent an absolute fortune on him, British transfer record. Now probably due to how he left Newcastle etc and not having a pre season the lad has a terrible start, his confidence is obviously through the floor, he's looked disinterested all season and plays like his hearts not in it.
On Sunday he starts the game in the exact same fashion i.e looks like he couldn't give a fv.ck, looks like he doesn't want to be there etc but then suddenly out of the blue he scores, next minute he's like a completely different player, he's running around with enthusiasm, closing people down, urging his team mates to back his pressing up, he wants another goal, you can see it.
What does Rinus Michels on our bench do - drags him off. You could see Isak turn around to someone and say 'me', he couldn't believe he was getting dragged off. We wait 6 months for the real Alexander Isak to turn up and when he finally does the genius in the dug out fv.cking drags him off.
Head scratching decisions are becoming the norm with this fella, you're honestly shocked when he makes a good decision, couldn't believe it when i saw he'd finally dropped Mo on Sunday, couldn't believe it.

To be fair Slot has never gone through a run like he just went through as a manager and he managed a weak Dutch team prior to us. It’s not like he is a serial loser. He won us the league at a canter with a team Klopp couldn’t. I think it’s a toxic situation in the dressing room that hampered us so I personally would not judge without the inside knowledge. We have a good run coming up so I’m hoping we turned the corner and we can get our mojo back.

What a bunch of c.unts. They made the deal and were happy to sign it and now don’t play him making it seem it’s Liverpool’s fault. Risking his position in the England team and his progress as a player. Blackmailing the club with Elliot as a hostage basically saying “take the clause out and we’ll play him, leave it in and we won’t” acknowledging it hurts the player. I feel bad for Elliot to be playing for a bunch of c.unts casually talking about business decisions like it justifies a lack of integrity.

Optional clauses are always garbage. Should had sold him outright with a forcing clause.

They are a bunch of ***** and also a top 4/top 5 rival, so I don't see why we would be doing them any favours. I feel for Elliot but it's 100% Villa's fault he's in that position. Best case scenario would be we bring him back.

There has been loads of reports in the media about his situation since November. He played for us at the beginning of the season which complicates things. Villa agreed to the deal of a season loan with an obligation to buy for 35mil if he made 10 appearances so what has changed since then. Is it that they dont think hes good enough or worth the money. We cpuld have recalled him in january but there was issues with that as we didnt want to take his wages on and couldnt loan him to another club because he had already played for 2 clubs in a single season so it was against the rules. Another option was heading to the states but the player didnt want that so got left stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

Truth is we should do whats best for the player and remove the clause so he can get playing time. Its in our interests to do that as he can then prove his worth. If they dont take him them he could attract other suitors and wont have lost a year of his career.

Lets not forget either lads that we wouldnt play Nunez last season because it would have triggered an add on that we didnt want to pay!!

Was that just a rumor or was that proven? With Elliot we know it’s true because Emry said it himself and why he wasn’t playing, also shifting the blame on us when they took the agreement knowingly.

I thought Nunez didn’t play because he was sh1t :laugh:

Who knows what was in Nunezs contract except those close to it. Those stories broke and just happened to coincide with him not starting another game.

Elliot has found himself in a situation we could resolve. Ok we arent happy about it but come up with a solution that helps the player. They wont play him if it triggers the payment so do something about it, remove it or recall him are 2 solutions that benefit our player. That should be all that matters .

Slot wont play him anyway so more beneficial for the club that he stays where he is because they dont want to pay his wages. Not everything the club does is wonderful Mate and we can also do shitty things.

The treatment of Harvey Elliot by Liverpool, Slot and Aston Villa is a disgrace......I'm more disappointed with Liverpool for not bringing him back when it was clear we were Sh*t and Aston Villa didn't want to pay the big money for him.
