Harvey Elliott must forget about trying to become part of Liverpool's fabled front-three and work to establish himself fully as a midfielder starter.
That's according to former Anfield great John Barnes who made his name as a flying winger before injury forced him to recreate himself as a vital cog in the engine room later in his career.
Elliott has made 26 appearances for the Reds so far this season, scoring three goals and becoming a regular name in Jurgen Klopp's matchday squad. But his run of games has coincided with Liverpool's inconsistent league form and questions have been asked regarding what the 19-year-old's most effective position is. Barnes however, believes that the answer lies in simply looking at the competition for places that the former Fulham youngster faces right now.
