Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott has no qualms about adapting to a new position.
The youngster came to the club as a versatile forward, while he impressed at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship last term.
Elliott is now being used as a midfielder, starting alongside Jordan Henderson and Navy Keita in a 2-0 win over Burnley.
He laid on an impressive pass in the move that saw Sadio Mane make it 2-0, and had an assist to Mohamed Salah disallowed earlier in the game.
"I think it's what players need in their game, being able to adapt to different positions," he said in conversation with Dan Thomas, Elliott's former coach at the Fulham academy, for BT Sport and The Athletic.
"And I think for me personally, it sort of gives me more of a chance of getting into the team if needed. But obviously it's hard to adapt; it's different positioning from, for example, when they're playing out from the back or when we're playing out from the back.
"It's just getting your head around where you need to be, how you need to press, where you need to press. Sort of fix yourself and know who your players are you're needing to deal with.
"It's enjoyable to play somewhere else, it's also nice because you get the ball a lot. I say this a lot: it's just wherever I'm told to play, I'm more than happy to play. It's just going out and enjoying football and just wanting to play, I think that's all that matters."
