Curtis Jones

[Rich]

He’s getting a load of stick but hardly surprising.

He was in a central 2 alongside Fab, who’s form has fallen off a cliff.

He’s not a central midfielder, certainly not in a 2.

He’s been out injured for a significant amount of time.

Yesterday the whole team was garbage - GK aside.

If we’re going to keep with a more 4-4-2 approach then Jones should be on the left of that midfield. If we go back to a midfield 3 then he’s on the left of that 3.

[Exiled_red]

He's more an attacking midfielder than the CM we are trying to play him at, with Diaz and Jota out I would be tempted to play him as the left sided forward I think that more suits his natural game, not sure what he would do long term. With the lack of other midfielders I feel he is suffering from being a square peg in a round hole.

[Cerbie]

If he wasn't a scouser he'd be nowhere near the side.

He's championship level and i've been saying it all along. Slow of mind, slow of feet, not a good passer, not a good reader of the game, awful tackler, lacks energy and aggression, lazy but scored a nice goal once.

He's not an 18yr old kid anymore, like people are making out. He's coming up 22. Thats an age you should be making the spot your own. But he's failed time after time when given chances.

Bin.

Time to move him on. He has been ineffective for a long time.

[Liverpool]

I think the Arsenal semi finals last year showcased what Jones is about. First leg he came on LW and constantly ran at the defence, which was reminiscent of his youth team days here. 2nd leg, he was MOTM playing LM in the 3 and combined his attacking instincts with the discipline that Klopp has been trying to introduce when using him to replace Gini.

Jones has immense talent, biggest issue for him is a familiar one at Anfield, staying fit.

I think Klopp has really ****ed him by trying to turn him into a midfielder like Gini, he needs to play further forward and on instinct, he's so slow when trying to think

[Slinky Skills]

****ing hell lads, he's been out for a while to be fair.

[fidget]

He’s no Ox

[Montana]

Jury is out but if he can stay fit, then he has a great opportunity to show what he is about this season. Let's see if he can develop and produce like he was expected to by all the coaches throughout the club.

If not, he'll have to go as we can't wait forever although it is very harsh to be slagging him off after his first game in ages. There were others such as Fabinho, Gomez, Robbo who were worse today plus Carvalho too

[ronanm]

Championship standard.

Fair I remember that game now you mention it. Its a shame we didn't have more options in the centre as it'd good to see Jones out wide

[RedReet]

Still not quite sure what he excels at.. what sort of player was he in the youth teams? He seems to never quite be able to execute what he wants to do, it's frustrating af to watch

[RedReet]

As if Jones was a problem today, even if it wasn't his first start in 7 months.

But aye, he should be walking into a dysfunctional team, play out of position with no preparation (as he wasn't supposed to be playing) and just ****ing tear it up. What a useless cunt he is.

[danperkins]

Does he have bags of talent though? Very young but slow and ponderous, just doesn't do much. Said it before and I ll say it again he is not LFC standard.

[el matador]

Curtis is still very young and we have to remember that. He’s got bags of talent but he reminds me of a player who is brilliant on the ball but lacks game intelligence which only comes with experience.

Harvey is different in that he has the technical and tactical ability but lacks the physical presence to make it count. As for carvalho he needs better players around him to create space for him. Today wasn’t the game for him.
