Curtis Jones

[Paul12]

He isn’t starter quality but if he can stay fit then he’s a serviceable squad player - think of Darren Fletcher or Phil Neville at United

I think he is better than that. I'd argue that he has lost momentum and confidence because he has been in effect out for two years. Yes he sometimes needs to release the ball quicker, and I thought his approaches to some challenges were poor, but I also think he has something.

Yep I’d agree with that too.

I was all in on the hype train at the start - I was thinking future worldie he def list his way and we just need him to develop with games. People sneer at Europa football but Curtis can play every game in that competition

[wiw]

He was ok imo, don't see him long term at LFC

Thought he was excellent and was intelligent with his runs and use of the ball.

Opinions, eh

Thought he played very well

More fool them.


Is a competion that gave us some great moments in the past, and if we cannot get CL I want us going all out to get into the EL.

Great comp and winning it gets us into the CL.

I forgot that - a path to CL also

Let’s not get back on the Naby debate - Jones played well and has been our best midfielder recently (mind you that wouldn’t be hard). If he played 15 games a season like that I’d be fine

fair enough i'm still not over that transfer! I can see him being loaned out in about a year to be honest. Next season we will sign more midfielders & are stacked out left. I just see him falling down the pecking order & him wanting regular football. Had a decent game, got some mins into him & we won so all good

Think Jones's performances have been going under the radar recently - he seems to be doing what Klopp wants in this current line up and is being favoured over Thiago.

I still think he hangs on to the ball too long at times and misses opportunities for key passes/assists. He's not long turned 22 so plenty of time to improve still.

Definitely under the radar.

A year ago (or so) there was an analysis on our midfielders on Tomkins Times website, and it showed the closest player in terms of profile to Naby was Jones (across the top leagues) so he may turn into the player Keita should have been.

I agree he does not look like a Klopp player ar times, but he is technically proficient, and can grow into the role. Definitely feel he is worth developing.

[Norbs]

Jones will be 40 and fans will still be wondering if he'll ever be a star

[Charly]

We dont need a squad of twenty stars.

I think he is fine as a squaddie for now.

If he is surrounded with guys who are at their top level then they can take some of the heat off Jones. As a squaddie he as decent enough when he isn't trying to hog the ball.
I can't help thinking that he has too high an opinion of himself and so will hang on to the ball for too long rather than doing the right thing and look for a quicker pass.

This could be trained out of him, but just keep hugging him to death

[dizzycat]

I don't know if it is just me, but he doesn't seem to be as direct in his play as he used to be. We don't see him getting around the edge of the box cutting inside and looking to.push through the defense. When he broke through I also thought we had someone who would weigh in with goals from outside the box. I am guessing that the club have focused on the positional discipline, but I don't know where that leaves his development. Solid squaddie at the moment.Like others have said, in a more settled and better midfield we might see the more exciting side of his game again.
