Curtis Jones

[Charly]

He has talent, but I thini he needs a loan to hone his game. He might be a case of a square peg at the moment

[el matador]

Funny one for me, I actually think he had the creativity but we've tried to change him as a player and he now seems a little unsure of what he's supposed to do hence the delaying on the ball and not looking for the higher risk passes.

Totally agree mate. He’s a creative player being asked to be prime Gini wijnaldum. It’s not really his game but if that’s the midfield requirements then he has to adapt. But his talent is beyond question.

I think he's an attacking midfielder who has been pulled back into a deeper midfield role and is probably more wary of giving possession away deeper in the field so is looking for the safer passes.

For what it's worth I think with Diaz and Jota out he could do the left sided attacker role quite well.

I always thought he hung on to the ball too long & stifled any sort of momentum going forward. He's decent technically and tidy enough but has always slowed things up too much. When you are playing out wide for LFC that doesn't work.

This would be my take also

[danperkins]

I think he lacks vision. For me that is his biggest weakness. Most of his passes seem to be sideways or backwards. He is not progressive enough with the ball.

I actually think the lack of vision is also the root cause of him holding onto the ball too long, or giving the ball away, he simply can't see the better options that someone like Thiago and Harvey Elliot can.

I think he's superbly talented and could be a huge player for us now and in the future. Hes got some development to go through but you cannot write him off now. hes only 21.

I don’t think he’s decent backup- maybe decent enough for a backup for a team pushing for too 4, but not for a team that wants to challenge for PL/CL.



I was concerned when I saw him in the starting lineup. He’d only had one appearance back, from the bench, and was pretty poor in that. I’d have thought he’d had gotten a few more appearances from the bench when the game is wrapped up, the league cup game, and maybe the last CL game if it’s a dead rubber. Starting him was a big risk and didn’t pay off. Also wondered if it was proving a point to fsg..

[Mr Pink]

yeah left mid & he is decent back up.

I still do not understand why klopp did not go with 45min split Hendo/Millie next to Fab & TAA at full back; made no senese whatsoever to hang Curtis out to dry in CM. Even Bajetic would have been a better call in centre mid; i hope klopp wasn't proving a point to the moneymen.....

The constant succession of injuries have held him back. He’s a year behind where he should be in terms of development, both physically, and in his decision making which is the most frustrating aspect of his game.

Still, judging on yesterday’s performance, after he’s played so little football for 10 months or so, is premature. Needs a run of games.

Probably would have benefitted from a loan move for a year coming back from injury, problem is we don't have the numbers in the midfield to let it happen.

He's peaked. We need better.
