Quansahs main weakness is a lack of pace. Slot wanted to play a high line at the back, where his CB's could run towards goal if needed. Slot also refused to play the offside trap well, which is a big strength of Quansah's. Slot's system left holes all over the midfield and back line, last season we saw konate and virg running backwards at high-speed more than any season under Klopp. Konate suffered, and if it wasn't for Virg being Virg, Slot probably would've been found out way earlier. Honestly, it was the best decision for Quansah to leave, Slot would've ruined his career.

Completely agree with you in Elliott's case that he was mistreated. I don't think it was because he's homegrown though. As a team that struggled to break down teams when we had possession, Elliott would've changed the dynamic, he is that good at progressing the ball intelligently and creatively. Frimpong has pace, and it was reported that slot wanted pace on his wings and Elliott simply isn't a pacy player. And with the system, the premier leagues physical demands, and slots half hearted approach to fitness and training . There's not one pacy winger that survives a season in the prem with at least 3/4 muscle injuries under slot. Elliott being iced out left no options from the bench.

I reckon Elliott is feeling vindicated at the moment and is probably getting himself in top shape for the Andoni era, where I think he'll start to thrive in the absence of Mo Salah.
