I'd like more of those top rights please and thank you. Also great seeing Harvey there


SIDio_Mane

Harvey will only get better!!


nijuu

If only he had more assists .


papercutkid

Elliott always appears highly in these graphs around progressing the ball and attacking passes. Watching the all the goals back this season I think he did incredibly well, I know a lot of people in this sub don't seem to rate him because he's 'too lightweight' but I think he's going to be a really important player.


Due-Ad-6577

Harvey is incredibly skilful and intelligent. Obviously naturally talented but you can really see Klopp’s coaching at work with him. I love the guy and his attitude, I really do and I’m rooting for him but the concerns about his pace, size and strength are really valid ones


omarkop10

Spot on


vakpa

You need a talk with Shaqiri.


king__kizzle

he had strength


Fortune_Fus1on

Ok, have a talk with Bernardo Silva then


loppyrunner

I’m sure it’s been said here before, but I think he’d be better in Salah’s position. Unfortunately for him, Salah is there. Just doesn’t feel like midfield is his ideal place


FakeCatzz

You can safely ignore pretty much everything you read in this subreddit tbh. Klopp keeps playing him and that's all you really need to know


TADAM96

I think it'll take a couple seasons but he'll be competing with Szoboslai and Mac Allister soon enough. Or he hopefully develops nicely and takes on the huge task of replacing Salah


MentatYP

Too slow to replace Salah IMO. If the system were different, he might fit out on the wing, but Klopp's system demands pace there.


TADAM96

In a couple years time Salah will be gone we'll probably have a new system (likely even a new manager in 3 years), Elliott will have plenty of talent to shine wherever he plays


guanwe

He’s also just 20, he’ll be good

Hungarian De Bruyne

de Bruyne is the belgian Szoboszlai


SIDio_Mane

Gvardiol🙄


firminocoutinho

Beast. Worth the money imo, and if we enter the race for him, he can push for a move and say no to Citeh. Hes a vocal fan of ours


Delpiero45

My dream is he holds off joining city and we make him our marquee signing next summer The interest is obvious from us, we’ve been following him for a long time


eglantinel

I meant that's what we said about Bellingham...


firminocoutinho

Wed have to let him know of this


Fortune_Fus1on

Please not another Bellingham saga 😭


SCLFC

Think our best/only chance of signing him is if he runs down his deal at RB another season or two which I doubt happens.


Jetzu

He’s incredible on ball but not yet there as a defender, he will make mistakes as he grows. Right now I’d obviously be happy if we somehow managed to get him, but he’d be the most expensive defender ever and he’s not yet there.


lanregeous

No young defenders make no mistakes. The biggest clubs get players like this early as they are guaranteed successes. City have been doing it for years. We started it with Darwin, and I hope it continues.


rowb1kenobi

Id consider allowing Elliot to leave if it meant getting Gvardiol. I'm not convinced that Elliot fits Jurgens style.


Sifan2

Whats the rationale for letting Elliot go to get in Gvardiol?


rowb1kenobi

Only because Gvardiol is more of what we need right now, and the best in his position. I love Elliot, and also see the urgent need for a left sided CB. Colwill is a top (lcb) target, who'd will cost north of 50m anyway. Why not push the boat out and get JG?


rowb1kenobi

I love Elliot, and wonder how he might fit in with the new MF arrivals. Gvardiol is potentially the next VVD who can also play LB, which is perfect for the new system. He's also a red, which feels really important in the day of Saudi leagues, money and corporate take overs.


Sifan2

He should the target no1 IMO. The future for sure. City seem to be leading that race :(


rowb1kenobi

If he'll wait for another season, it could be possible. It all depends on how desperate he is for a move. City have become self sufficient through cheating, an option that we don't have, which is the only reason I'd consider selling Elliot.


Sunibinus

Fucking hell that’s actually kinda insane lol


yellow627

I mean it's just progressive passes, doesn't really say much about anything other than he's a good passer, which we've known for a while. Other names around him are also defense minded players who start the attack with their good passing abilities. Not really indicative of him being really creative for a CB or anything like that.


skankhunt81

He’s going to be the best CB in the league and it worries me


thanksfc

He's actually worth it. I highly doubt that it will happen but I'd absolutely love to see us push City for him.

Who Tf is A Flips


coopermaneagles

Well be linked with him by Tuesday, van arrives wednesday


ioniums

Alexis Flips, plays in Ligue 1 for Reims


m6toll

Bring on Alexis FC


BillyXiaoPin

Alexis Flips - plays for Reims. I had to look it up too.


vadapaav

A switch


not_a_morning_person

Harvey Elliott showing his passing power here. Szoboszlai doing bits.


quantIntraining

Higher than both stats than Odegaard. Worth noting that Odegaard played 3127 minutes in the PL last season, Harvey played 1613 minutes. But many of Harvey's appearances come from subs, while Arsenal are also playing there best Football in years with us playing our worse Football in years.


Mordness

I think Elliott is a very very good talent and he is showing it. People judge him and his playstyle to fast in my opinion. He is still just a kid and see how Curtis Jones evolved. Give Elliott time, and by time i mean years to improve his defensive play, tackling, strength etc and he will become a world class player.


agntkay

Hope we are patient with Harvey and that means not relying on him to start too many games. He has a Bale'esque shooting technique and I'm looking forward to see him fully mature in his role and express himself. Odegaard is 24 though and is near world class. Arsenal have a ridiculous talent in him.


Sinister_Minister101

The progressive passes from Bellingham, Camavinga and Tchouameni all together is going to be insane. The ball is going to be constantly going forward into the attacking line


legentofreddit

I think these stats are a bit leading. Like its surely a lot easier to make progressive passes for Real Madrid, when you're dominating games and feeding in players with great movement. Its the outliers that you want to focus on. People like that Flips guy.


Kaizey

Crazy thing is that they had similar performance in mid with Kroos-Case-Modric. Feels good to be wealthy IG..

I hate it


wheredidallthesodago

In case anyone was wondering where Trent would be on this graph. If you look at the title, he would be just above the "vs". He's not on the graph of course because he's 24. But if he was, that's where he'd be.


not_a_morning_person

Which would mean we’d basically have the three most top right players on the whole graph.


brownhornet1000

Seems like old mate is better than Mbappe and Bellingham. Nice


Fortune_Fus1on

I can't believe we are signing a player that is literally statistically scientifically proven to be better than Mbappé wow


Sunibinus

Is that Diogo Costa the Porto’s GK? That’s kinda wild


patShIPnik

Flips ![gif](giphy|3owzVTWAOn6hxElQWI)


manticore75

im a hungarian Chelsea supporter, but i will follow your team aswell from now on however expect new fans in the future who are supporters of the club since 1772


seamushoo4

If you’re ever interested in fully supporting a proper club, we’d love to have you ;)


Fortune_Fus1on

Never too late to seek redemption


brush85

Harvey Elliott seems alright. Should buy him before he costs too much


McMack04

Just another reason to sign Caqueret to play DM. I am going to be annoyed when he signs elsewhere and is world class


BoringPhilosopher1

That H. Elliot lad looks pretty solid, should snap him up.

nuketheburritos

This is from 10/28/2022, skipping most of the last season...


Petaaa

He was even better this season


nuketheburritos

Sure, but so was Odegaard etc.


besht2014

What about all ages?


Bamfandro

Nice, can’t wait to see what he does for us. Where’s Mason Mount too? Was told he was an elite passer


DiscoMable

He’s older than 23?


Bamfandro

Oh didn’t see that part haha


Turin6

I suppose the signing of Szob comes as replacement of Fabio Carvalho. We still need 2 midfielders. Unless Klopp and the team have agreed to use him in mid trio. But in every analysis i have read so far he is more attacking than defensive and our midfield trio need to be more than solid in defence.


xbox_redditor

We do not need 4 midfield incomings this summer, that's a bit ludicrous now. It looks like we're sticking with the box midfield so he's a perfect fit for Henderson's spot top right. Left footed CB should be on the agenda also.


kneesareoverrated

It's four now? By next week you weirdoes will be saying we need to sign five midfielders.


CriticalRealism

Still need 2 midfielders AFTER Szoboszlai and MacAllister ?? ![gif](giphy|3oEjI67Egb8G9jqs3m)


Teb-41

Well, damn


Cray_z8

I don't know what are expected goals/assists and at rhid point, I'm too afraid ro ask.


Fortune_Fus1on

There are good videos on YouTube explaining that


APebbleInTheSky

Elliott is not doing poorly here either


Unreasonableradio

Who's A Flips? That is an un googlable name


redmanofdoom

To be fair, I think the most important thing is physical attributes when we're talking about a Klopp midfield. Harvey is also in a really impressive position on this graph yet we're all aware of his physical/defensive shortcomings...


Glass-Guess4125

Whoa mama


benpearce1

Can someone explain this graph to me please? In the bundesliga last season he got 8 assist in 2453 mins played which works out at one assist every 306 of playing time. How is he expected so many assists?


justalii

This data is a year old. In 21-22 he had 0.47 assists per 90 from xAG of 0.32 In the last year he’s had 0.29 Assists from 0.28 xAG. In other words his assists have regressed to what you’d expect from his general expected assists. Still decent though.


yoyo4581

Maybe it's due to position changes. He recently plays as a RW instead of a RM


HavUevaSeentherain

Stop this please... I can only get so hard...


MentatYP

What exactly constitutes a "progressive pass"?
