He’s not a premier league standard footballer. Has nothing is his locker that isn’t just average, but his speed of feet and thought is way below that. Sell him to Bournemouth or Sheffield Utd.

Don't forget Carvalho too!Originally posted by el matador View PostIn a klopp midfield all our midfielders will pick up injuries. He’s also still young so maybe there’s some growing pains just like there were with Gerrard at a similar age who used to have back and groin issues I think.
He’s mobile and got good technical ability. His decision making needs to sharpen up but he’s 21. If he’s still making the same mistakes at 27 then that’s different.
In jones, Elliot and Bajetic we’ve got three very good young players although I’m still not sure midfield is Harvey’s best position.

Harvey is a bit of an enigma. Loads of talent but his lack of pace is a worry.Originally posted by el matador View PostIn a klopp midfield all our midfielders will pick up injuries.

Number 10 might be the answer.
Really hope Jones is ok. We could do with him at the moment.

Yeah think in a wide right attacking role or maybe a floating number 10 type role would suit him better. A CM he is not.
Totally agree we have some smashing young talent at the club, not least in the three names you mentioned.

He’s also still young so maybe there’s some growing pains just like there were with Gerrard at a similar age who used to have back and groin issues I think.Originally posted by Jaco_Pastorious View PostThink the main worry with regards to him is not ability or potential, but rather the missing of time during the stage of his career when he should be honing that abilility in order to realise his potential.
He was unavailable for selection for 14 games last season, five already this season (as well as missing a bit of pre season and some training time in August) and if any of the injury talk is correct it could be the new year at best before he is available again.
He seems to be very unlucky with the timing of his injuries. He seems to get them at the times when a number of senior guys are also out so he misses chances to get extra minutes.
I think there is a smashing player in him. But he needs to get some long unbroken runs without injuries to take advantage of gaps in the squad.
With Thiago currently fit and Arthur in the training sessions, I wish Jones was fit at present as I think his skillset would benefit greatly from being around those two imo.

He's got the mobility and strength to be a decent midfielder, but he seems to run then come to a stop with the ball before making a decision on where to pass.
This means the player he's passing to is often being closed down and then struggles to control so we end up losing possession because of his slow thinking and lack of peripheral vision.

That makes him available for almost 80% of last season, which is strong. Yet he only played around 25%. The season before he only missed one or two games through injury.Originally posted by Jaco_Pastorious View PostThink the main worry with regards to him is not ability or potential, but rather the missing of time during the stage of his career when he should be honing that abilility in order to realise his potential.

Whatever's been keeping him out of the team the past 2 seasons, I don't think it's been injuries or lack of availability.

Ya get more magnesium by eating Dark chocolate, nuts & bananas in one day than a tablet...cheaper too!Originally posted by The_weatherman View PostBoth Magnesium sprays and powder which was game changer for tbh.
Can't recommend it enough really, take it daily and a little extra and hour or two before running, I find it helps with cramping, tightness and such.
