Morton: I don’t think Slott has enough trust in me. I don’t ask for much, even if I’m a substitute.

A few days ago, former Liverpool players Elliott and Morton talked about the problems when they were at Liverpool.
Elliott has publicly stated that he was angry about Slaughter's decision: "There was a time during the season when I was really angry and I was frustrated because I wanted to play, but at the same time I need to respect the status quo and respect the coach's decision. There are games where I'm needed and there are games where I'm not. That's football. I feel like we're in the position we're in because of him. "
Former Liverpool midfielder Morton also revealed: "I think he thinks I am a good player, but I don't think he has enough trust in me. In my opinion, the limited opportunities are because of a trust issue, not an issue of ability. When I have the opportunity to play in the cup, that's all I can say."
"I had several conversations with him during the season. A lot of players are resentful and let their egos get in the way of not playing, but I'm not that kind of person. I personally don't agree with the limited playing time I got last season, but it was beyond my control. I gave it my all, even in the U21 games."
"I Do your best to stay healthy, stay mentally focused, and wait for the time to come, but the opportunities are still limited. I just want to play. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for, even if it’s a substitute in the Premier League.”
Morton also mentioned that his frustration came to a head during a Champions League game. Slott chose James McConnell over Morton, who played less than 40 minutes.
Morton said: "That game against PSV was hard for me to accept. It was an insignificant game. They had advanced to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, but I didn't start. I felt very frustrated at that time. I understand what happened. I agreed to have shoulder surgery two weeks after the game against PSV, but I endured the pain and persisted in playing to get a chance to participate in the Champions League."
