And the biggest critic is his father Scott, who travelled up to Anfield for every home match as a Surrey-based supporter even before his son\u2019s move there from Fulham in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He is always trying to push me as hard as he can which is why he\u2019s a great dad,\u2019 said Elliott on his father, who is often seen with a notepad at matches and was also spotted in jubilant celebration when his son scored a late goal at Wolves earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Social media is social media, it can turn quickly. Everyone can love you or hate you in a matter of minutes. For me I don&#8217;t focus on it. I listen to the important people around me: my family, the coaches and the players who are all trying to help me out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/22\/19\/78124671-12781115-image-a-1_1700679887155.jpg\" height=\"506\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Harvey Elliott has seen his playing time at Liverpool reduced after their summer spending<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/22\/19\/78124679-12781115-image-m-3_1700679901449.jpg\" height=\"565\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Reds star revealed to Mail Sport that his biggest critic is his father (L) Scott<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is my dad who criticises me the most. There is always something I could have done better. He always wants the best for me. I&#8217;ve had a few chances for Liverpool this season, it is going to be a lot harder to get opportunities. But I&#8217;m full of confidence now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Elliott, who has featured in all but two Liverpool matches this season but mainly off the substitutes bench, says he is learning from the new Reds midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo, signed for a total of \u00a3150million.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They&#8217;ve come in and hit the ground running and it&#8217;s healthy competition now, striving towards the same goal which is winning trophies,\u2019 he added. Everytime someone else plays or I play, the support around me is unbelievable from these lads and I do the same for them as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We&#8217;re a team at the end of the day, you can&#8217;t be frustrated that you&#8217;re not playing. You have to stay patient and take your opportunity when you get it. These new boys, you can see the quality they have hence why they&#8217;ve been bought for a lot of money. Learning from them is great.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/22\/19\/78124665-12781115-image-a-4_1700680081876.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The 20-year-old\u00a0scored a brace for England&#8217;s U21s in a thumping win over Northern Ireland on Tuesday<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12781115\/Liverpool-starlet-Harvey-Elliott-insists-hes-not-concerned-healthy-competition-Anfield-Reds-summer-spending-England-U21-star-admits-biggest-critic-not-Jurgen-Klopp-dad.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott insists he&#8217;s not concerned by the &#8216;healthy competition&#8217; at Anfield, after Reds&#8217; summer spending&#8230; as England U21 star admits his biggest <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/liverpool-starlet-harvey-elliott-admits-his-biggest-critic-is-his-dad\/\" title=\"Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott admits his biggest critic is his dad!\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295976,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott admits his biggest critic is his dad!
