Liverpool attacker Harvey Elliott says he wants to be starting games more.
Elliott has been largely used off the bench this season.
He said at today's Europa League presser: "It's just about making sure I'm analysing the game and working out where I can exploit different teams.
"I look for areas I can get myself into and attack that way. But frankly, I want to be starting games. I want to be the player that's walking out, not coming on.
"It doesn't mean I'm not grateful, I'm always grateful for every opportunity in the shirt but it's about kicking on and getting myself a starting place in that team and I'm working very hard to make that happen for myself.
"I know I'm still young but I'm not a kid, I'm a man, I've had to grow up quickly so I am taking that responsibility into my own hands. If that means knocking on the gaffer's door then I'll do it.
"But at the same time I know I need to be patient and wait my turn but when I get those chances, I will take them."
