Curtis Jones

Love this lad.

Thiago will be a good bench option when he's fit again

Amazing game from him. The clips are great as I immediately stopped watching him and noticed in every clip Wijnaldum and Henderson just walking around taking it easy, not worried about any situation developing or wondering how to progress.

That's a good point. They clearly completely trust that he will protect and use the ball well. If anything they let him boss things and express himself. If he can add finishing to his repoitoire then we have an absolute work beater coming through

Unlucky, Son.

Man.

I think this sort of flashy manipulation of the ball comes very naturally to him and he'd be playing like this all the time if Klopp hadn't been his manager. He said something recently about how Klopp and Henderson have taught him how to play 'man's football' and I think this is partly what he means - doing away with this stuff, certainly when it's not necessary, and being more economical in his work.

Great that he has it in his locker though.

I’m so glad someone posted this as I remember seeing it at the time & wanted the cameras to show it again & again. He’s such a talented player, and to think he’s just 19. He’s a natural replacement for Gini if he decides his future lies elsewhere.

Possibly his first set back today. Took absolutely ages every time he got the ball, so our transitions from back to front were delayed.

And then, over confidence.

Running with the ball and passing across the front of goal.

My sons under 11’s get hammered for it.

I think it’s harsh on him. He had one moment when he showboated a little bit and lost the ball. It’s his style of play and to be fair to him he’s excellent at keeping the ball and knitting things together. First half he was ok as the team was generally playing well. We don’t want to suppress what makes him special and if he has to take a bit long sometimes then we need to let him. He’s a ball player and these types of players need to feel the ball to find angles and passes.

[Big-Red-Ed]

Yeah he was pretty poor today but he is still learning. Really he is getting more minutes than he should at the moment

I was starting to get more and more annoyed with him before he lost us the two points. But Salah earns my main anger. Scores two last game and then serves up this ****.

He is going to be an amazing player. But that was a mistake. When we are only 1-0 up you can’t afford to be that casual.

I agree, he is playing a lot more games than anyone would have imagined.

Robbo did the same to be fair.

[danperkins]

Jones is a lovely baller, has a swagger about him but he also slows things down too much on times and doesn't release the ball quickly enough. Playing against teams like Brom with the compact, low block things need to be much quicker.

We need to be getting some productivity out of the midfielders other than 'knitting' things together or being the 'glue'; are they scoring goals, creating chances or protecting the back line with stellar destructive ability?

It has been an issue for years.
How many goals do our midfielders score and how does it compare with other teams. lets get some figures
