Curtis Jones - What are you?

[Mathewbet1]

His first touch and close control are close to the highest level already.

[Trojan1892]

The way he glides around the pitch and his short sharp passes reminds me of Pirlo, massive call I know but it’s how it is for me, not comparing them but he just reminds me of him the way he moves.

Woah there slow your horses right fucking down. 

 

The lad can't even grow a tache 

[Trojan1892]

He’s got lovely hair though

Better than Keita. 

Better than Ox.

 

Potentially better than Stevie (Gerrard and mcmanamen) wrong spelling 

Mental post. At 19 Gerrard was an absolute monster and we were the envy of the word for having him. Jones is a fantastic talent but let's not get carried away.

It’s a great run slightly reminiscent of Gerrard against Sheff Wed.  The difference being Gerrard slotted obviously.  He’s got the world at his feet and the most important thing for me is that it appears he’s listening to the manager and the coaches because he’s developing quicker and quicker.  He’s a better dribbler than Gerrard was at his age but that’s literally it for me.  Gerrard is the best centre midfielder the premier league has seen so it’s no great shame.

What abooot wee Scholesy?

Again, so much of this is down to Klopp.

 

When he first emerged, Jones just looked like a lightweight kid with a nice touch who wouldn't really impact on games. He's improved vastly in the last two years, getting loads of opportunities with the first team as a result. Too many lads never make that progression and if they do, there's still a reticence from managers to take the risk of actually playing them. 

 

Whatever Jurgen's being paid, there aren't enough zeros at the end of it.

Just rewatching the Spurs match, and his pass off his standing foot at 74 mins is absolutely filthy.

The one to release Mane?

The one to Henderson. Drags the ball from his right foot onto his left heel whilst under pressure. It's at the 3:10 mark in the video above.

Good work Ratlab.

The man to whom Klopp goes for some fist-bump love:

Noticed a number of critical voices on here yesterday after the match. And a few people claiming there are no signs that Curtis Jones will ever be a world class player.

 

Stats arent everything when you judge a player, but these figures are truely remarkable. And for me they definately match my judgement on him, I think he’s already a brilliant midfielder and has the potential to be one of the best attacking or box to box midfielders in the world.

 

 

[3 Stacks]

He was poor yesterday, but as for his mistake leading to a corner, if giving up a corner is what sinks you against a team like West Brom, then you've played like shit and didn't deserve anything anyway. 

[Lee909]

Anyone giving him loads of shit or writing him off is a cunt. Poor yesterday, to slow on the ball but he's been great overall

[Elite]

He's 19 and not looked out of place in a team that's won the CL and Premiership in the last two seasons. He's already shown he's very capable and is nowhere near his potential yet. He'll make mistakes like yesterday but any suggestion that he's not good enough is absolute bollocks.

[TheHowieLama]

He certainly wasn't moving it any slower than Henderson. 

FWIW he took players on 1 v 1 which you need to do to create openings - 4 successful dribblies 

Only other players in our side to have even 1, Salah and Henderson.

[Baltar]

He wasn't good yesterday but he's 19, he's allowed to have the occasional stinker.

[m0e]

I love how he's gets shit over Wijnaldum (invisible yesterday) and Henderson.

[Stickman]

He wasn’t great yesterday but who was ? He’s a kid he’ll learn from his mistake on Sunday that you can’t afford to be casual no matter who the opposition.

I think gaining a lot of plaudits these past few weeks can work against a young lad in top level football I guess that’s when you need a Ronnie Moran, Joe Fagan type figure in training to bring you right back down to Earth,,,

Wijnaldum was invisible away for years remember. Short memories. Attack the kid.

A 19 year old making a mistake in a football match. 

 

Burn him.
