Curtis Jones - What are you?

[manwiththestick]

A lovely footballer, love seeing him on the ball and he's growing in confidence every game. 

[No2]

I'm certain Klopp would have loved to have stuck on Ox for a few pops from outside the box. Jones has made himself as important as Hendo and Gini, you can't take him off.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Another brilliant performance. I understand he was extremely dominant in the U23s last season, and there are signs of the same already in the first team. His skills and composure on the ball is a joy to watch. And he’s adapted and is doing his defensive duties and off the ball running to the required standard.

 

Pretty sure he’ll start delivering goals and assists on a regular basis pretty spon as well.

[Guest Francie Brady]

Confidence starting to grow with every game. Our midfield three bossed it tonight and he was integral to that. If Southgate comes calling in February he should be told to get fucked. 

[Josef Svejk]

I doubted his ability as a midfielder for us. Thought he could only play as a 10 / further forward. 

 

Thankfully, it's looking like I was wrong... 

[Mathewbet1]

Me too, had him down a fancy dan, but he's shown great strength and grit for his age, hard to believe he's on 19. Has shown great composure on the ball in recent games, looks like he's got a shot on him too been unlucky in the last couple of games could have scored in both.

[TheHowieLama]

He is quite able defensively and his ball retention is incredible given that he is looking forward far more than the others. TBH he is not the odd man out when Thiago is available.

[The Guest]

It’s mad how quickly these players develop under Klopp.  He’s found the right balance of dribbling and passing.  He’s releasing the ball at the right time now every time.  He just looks like another cog in the red machine.  The fact that he’s got that bit of magic and creativity in there as well just makes him that extra bit special.

[Bjornebye]

Two Scouse terrors in the starting 11 is fine by me. He improves game on game. 

[3 Stacks]

He's having an excellent season. Piling up good performances.

Klopp said that if he wasn't here already, we'd have to buy him.

 

Highest praise.

It’s amazing how it’s taken him about 10 games to understand his defensive role in our system, yet Keita has been here two and a half years and still looks completely lost.

[Lee909]

Playing well above his age and experience levels. Really mature performances from him. Doing everything you expect from Gini, Henderson and Milner in there. 

 

 

[El Dangerous]

Never once thought he should make way for Ox or Keita yesterday. Looks like our biggest threat from midfield, he’s going to give defenders a nightmare when he’s firing on all cylinders.

And let all the CEOs from around the world be thankful they’ve not got big Mike coming to fleece the cunts for him.

Unfair. Keita hasn’t been fit for 10 games in that 2 1/2 years. Poor scamp.

I don’t think so. I really wanted Naby to be amazing. I still think he’s pretty good on the ball when he’s fit and in the team, but he never knows what to do without the ball.

[stringvest]

He played within himself yesterday I thought, but made far fewer poor decisions than previously.  He had a very good game.  I have to say Henderson and Wijnaldum both had really excellent games - we were dominant in an area we're often not.

Think he's being coached to lay off the Roy of the Rovers stuff he used to do in the U23s to be part of the unit. I think he's doing brilliantly. Good chances in the last 2 games, think he'll score 5+ by the end of the season. 

[Daisy]

Some of these shots he's having are going to start rifling into the corners

[Harry Squatter]

Made up for him, best thing is he cost us nothing and is a local lad. A few people were fuming that we weren't in for Kai Havertz in the summer but he's really struggling to adapt, whereas Curtis just seems to take everything in his stride and nothing seems to overraw him.

I think I cheered that more than a goal, you love to see it. I bet Spurs players and fan's were like, who the fuck is this kid!

[VladimirIlyich]

Henderson's,and Wijnaldum's to a degree,contributions to putting in the hard yards and allowing Jones to concentrate on his own game should not be overlooked. Jones is a tremendously talented player and needs to be allowed to let that talent flourish and the players around him are helping him do that. Jordan Henderson is really Tremendouson these days and Fabinho lives up to his names as he's a fabulous player too. What great role models Curtis Jones and Rhys Williams have to look up to.
