Harvey Elliott opens up on Liverpool squad desperation to 'put it right' against Bournemouth

Harvey Elliott insists Liverpool want to "put it right" as they seek their first Premier League win following a disappointing start to the campaign.

The Reds entertain Bournemouth on Saturday having followed disappointing draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace with a dismal 2-1 defeat at Manchester United earlier this week.

Elliott has been one of Liverpool's best performers during a difficult few weeks and is hoping for a third successive start this weekend.

And the 19-year-old said: "It's not really the start that we wanted. Obviously Liverpool, a big team with world-class players in the team as well, we always want to win every single game.

"But I think it's probably best that we get all of these games out of the way at the start and focus on what's to come in the season. There's still 35 games left in the season. As I said, it's not the best but we're always working hard, always looking forward to the next game and wanting to put it right in the next game."

Liverpool came from behind with 10 men to earn a point against Palace in their last home game and Elliott believes the Anfield crowd played an important part.

"It's just the passion that they bring," said Elliott to liverpoolfc.com. "It's a passion that rubs off on us as players as well, so you can see how much they want it. For us, we want it a lot anyway but just to go that extra mile just to satisfy them. The fans can see that no matter how hard circumstances are and situations, you're always there trying to give 100%.

"To have them as the 12th man, it's unbelievable for us players. To go out and know you're going to get a big crowd of support each and every game – whether that's home or away – they're always singing their hearts out, they're always helping us out and giving us the passion that we need to go on and push.

"That's why we were so successful in the past few years – because of these fans, because of the way they are. They travel around the world to support us and watch us. There's no better place to go out and do it than Anfield. To do it in front of these fans as well, it's an even better thing."
