Liverpool's Harvey Elliott has found himself in a precarious situation at Aston Villa. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder was heavily touted as part of Liverpool's future when he joined the club on loan in August, but just five months later, his prospects have diminished dramatically.
Elliott's form for Villa has been underwhelming, and his lack of impact has raised concerns about whether the move will ultimately benefit him. His only appearances for the club have come as a substitute, and it appears that Villa are no longer willing to invest in him.
The situation is further complicated by Elliott's inability to displace Morgan Rogers and Emi Buendia, who have both emerged as key players under Unai Emery. The attacking duo has provided Emery with options, making it increasingly difficult for Elliott to force his way into the team.
With a World Cup year approaching, Elliott's future is now hanging in the balance. It seems likely that he will be forced to consider a return to Anfield, where he would essentially be recalled from loan without the option of buying him outright. However, this would mean that Liverpool would be selling on a player who has only played 96 minutes in the Premier League.
The prospect of Elliott being sent out on loan again or looking elsewhere for a fresh start seems increasingly likely. His ambition and desire to take his career to the next level are well-documented, but it appears that Villa have moved on from him without hesitation.
It's unclear what the future holds for Elliott, but one thing is certain: he must take drastic action if he wants to salvage his season and make a strong case for himself at the World Cup.

! I feel so bad for harvey elliot tho, i mean he's got potential but it seems like villa isn't giving him a chance anymore 
. he's been relegated to subs and now they're not even willing to invest in him 
. i get that morgan rogers and emi buendia are doing well but come on elliot deserves better 
. the thing is, if he doesn't do something drastic soon, his season will be ruined 
. i'm rooting for him tho, he's got this! 
... on one hand, you gotta feel bad for this kid's career, being stuck on the bench and whatnot. But on the other hand, it's hard not to think that Villa made the right call, 'cause they're trying to make room for their own young blood, right? It's all about progress and competition in football... kinda like how politicians say one thing but do another 
. maybe he needs a change of scenery, a new challenge, or even a stint in the championship to rekindle his spark? his ambition is cool but sometimes you gotta take a step back and regroup before moving forward 
how does that happen? i feel bad for the dude tho, i want him to make it big 
maybe hes just having a rough patch? i mean we dont know what he needs or what hes going thru 
but idk man...
i dont get it, ppl loved him @ liverpool but now hes all over villa & still cant make an impact ?? like what happened to that prodigy? 
. He's only played 96 minutes in the Premier League, that's not much time to make an impact. And yeah, it's tough to see him stuck on the bench behind Emi Buendia and Morgan Rogers. It'd be a shame if he gets sent out on loan again, I think he needs a fresh start but also needs to take charge of his career 
.
he was so hyped up when he joined villa and now it seems like they've written him off already 
i think he needs to have a chat with unai emery or whoever's in charge about why he's not getting enough playing time 
maybe there's an issue that's not being addressed? 
. 96 minutes in the Premier League is basically nothing for a player with his potential... maybe he needs a change of scenery or a bit more guidance from a coach? 
meanwhile elliot's future is literally hanging by a thread 
what a world cup year can't come soon enough to make this guy's life interesting 
but maybe villa just didn't see him fitting into their system? and now he's got to go back to liverpool like nothing ever happened 
which is pretty harsh considering how much hype was around him when he joined in august... anyway, hope elliot doesn't get down on himself too much and just focuses on making a big impact at the world cup 
. He was so hyped up when he joined Villa, like, everyone thought he was gonna be the next big thing 
. Morgan Rogers and Emi Buendia are killing it right now 
, so what's Elliott supposed to do? I feel bad for the kid though, 96 minutes of playtime in the Premier League? Like, not even enough to get a breather 
. Hopefully he can regroup, recharge, and come back stronger 
. It's like Villa are throwing away a diamond that could've brought them some serious returns in the future 
.
. A return to Liverpool would be a disaster for his career, as it'd mean he's essentially giving up on his ambitions without getting anything in return 
. I think Elliott needs to reevaluate his strategy and take drastic action if he wants to salvage his season and make a strong case for himself at the World Cup 
At least that way he can still make an impact and maybe even catch the eye of some big teams...
