Curtis Jones was wrong about Liverpool’s role, but there is a clear reason why you have to start compared to Man City.
The role of Curtis Jones in Liverpool evolved and has not yet fully acknowledged that Les had a precise Manchester City technique.
“I think it is at the point where he understands, so he can start with a big game, so what we get from him, we work hard, we go and printed, and if the other team is at the top, it will not be hidden if the other The team is peak.
He still wants his ball and is not restless. “Reds -Midfielder Curtis Jones has discussed its growth in the last episode of Podcast, We have Liverpool. Tokes-born Jones, who graduated from the club’s academy, surpassed 100 appearances for the club earlier this season.
It’s interesting to hear him talk about ‘scoring goals’. That’s because it hasn’t been a prominent feature of his game in recent seasons.
He has scored just four goals in 60 games in all competitions since the start of the 2021/22 season.A look at his Premier League performance this season shows why, despite the small sample size (280 minutes). Jones has only attempted three kicks so far in the contest as a result of his limited offensive capabilities, as evidenced by his three touchdowns.
Plus, Jones isn’t a “utility” player, at least not right away. In the aforementioned period, he has provided just six assists since the start of the 21/22 campaign and is yet to register a key assist in the Premier League this season. This is no longer a teenager breaking into the first team to steal the headlines as an attacking midfielder.
His responsibilities have evolved and the transition on the field has been smooth, but he still seems to be adjusting mentally.
The 22-year-old believes he has the confidence of his manager ahead of the big game, but that will be tested ahead of a crucial clash with Manchester City at the Eighth Hard this weekend.
Alexis McAllister and Dominic Szoboslai are guaranteed starters if they return safely from international duty, but Jones will challenge Ryan Gravenbirch and Harvey Elliott for the number eight left-back role.
Jones has not played since the 2-1 Carabao Cup win against Bournemouth at the end of September. The red card against Tottenham in this match led to a three-game domestic ban. He then suffered a serious injury which ruled him out for the next three games, but is expected to be available again this weekend (via Anfield).
However, Gravenburch was ruled out with a minor injury from the 1-1 draw with Luton just days after the cup tie, so he does not have the benefit of increasing his sharpness. Curtis Jones could return to Liverpool this weekend.
Elliott, on the other hand, has played in Liverpool’s last nine games and impressed for England U21s during the international break, but has looked much better off the bench this season.
Ultimately, Jones should get credit if he’s physically healthy, as he looks perfectly fit for this matchups. There is no game in the Premier League, if not world football, where it is more difficult to keep the ball, so Liverpool need someone with the technical ability and precision to keep the ball and someone who can find space to receive the ball. Conformity. the first.
Fortunately, Jones’ pass success rate of 94.3% ranks third in the league behind Chelsea’s Thiago Silva (95.5) and Tottenham’s Mickey van der Ven (94.6) and ranks second in the division (Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo de la City 68.3). (60.5 respectively) conceded more balls per 90 minutes than England (57.1).
