Curtis Jones

[Angryred]

He seems to be playing now in a role not too dissimilar to how he is also being used in the England under age team. Did notice in the recent game he played for the England team (and scored a nifty goal) against France (ironically in the same stadium that he played and scored in last night) that he seemed to switch to the RCM position a lot.

Was just a fluke I saw it as was channel hopping and he was on the ball when the channel came up so stuck with the game.


Only bad thing is that he will be playing into the summer in that U21 tournament

As an overage player?...insulting to the other upcoming players who are actually under 21?

Is it not because he would have been registered as being 21 when 2023 began and became 22 after that?

Bit like how he could not be registered as a homegrown player this season as he was 21 when the season begun.

Jones has been doing some hard squats - his arse game is strong like Gini's.

Do you know a lot about arse games?

That looks wrong unless he means goals per minute rather than actual games played..


He has 11 goals from 95 games in all comps.

In the PL he has 6 goals from 61 games.

It’s per minutes played rather than appearances.

He’s played around 5000 mins in all competitions, which is equivalent to around 55 games.

Good return and I’m back believing he’ll be one of the best midfielders in the world in 3 years

It was pure Gini last night and a massive vindication for Klopp and how he's clearly tried to change Jones' game into something more efficient and economical.

It's mad really, for fans like us you see a manager shaving the creative edges and flair off a player, skills that have got him to the edge of the LFC first team, and asking him to remould into something really quite different, and you wonder why. What has the manager spotted that we haven't. It's taken a while for the penny to drop, for Jones to learn the job, but wow the patience isn't half being rewarded now. Trent's switch has definitely helped too. I always thought even if his potential was realised he'd never be more than a good squad option for us but if he sustains this he's going to be very hard to shift from that Gini role.

Totally agree.

I had Jones in the "sell the cunt" bucket but in reality he will be a good option now. Still think we need 2 midfielders minimum this summer but its a squad game.

I do still think that he will be back on the bench as soon as we sign a couple of new pricks but he is a better option than he was 6 months ago. Big time. And probably has put himself ahead of Henderson in the reckoning

[Buzzo]

He’s been great. He needs to stay fit for a full season.

Still only 22, which is mad as it seems as if he has been around for a long time.

Nice piece on Jones in the Guardian yesterday.

My favourite part, is Klopp saying that being out for so long recently helped him understand the game better.

“He could watch a lot of football, he could understand the game better [while sidelined] and it looks really like that,” said Klopp after Leicester. “Where he improved the most is counter-pressing – it’s exceptional – and speed of play. He doesn’t keep the ball that long any more – he does that, and has to do in moments, but he is much quicker in decision-making.”

[Rafa Justice]

He will end up saving us millions in transfer fees too.

Oh hi John Henry!

Seems like klopp has been reading est and realised what jones''s issues were...

So, just sitting on the sidelines help's a player see the game and improve his understanding eh
Some of our bench must have a masters in tika taka by now.
