[ScottScott]

Absolutely made up for him scoring that goal. Looked great when he came on and was a massive part of getting the ball up the field before he scored

I absolutely loved Henderson's reaction to it going in as well, clearly loves the lad and knows how much it means

[kloppagetime]

Going to the very top this lad, I remember him getting game time in the 2018 pre season and every time he's played since then he's never looked like the occasion is too big for him or nor has he shown a lack of confidence.

[rebel23]

Great goal and very pleased.

He has caught my eye a few times (just look through the thread). Page 3 especially prophetic .

I think he''s going to be a top player in time...

[kloppismydad]

Imagine having two world-class local lads in the team pulling their weight during a glorious time under Jurgen.

I think the manager, more than anyone, will be ecstatic if he helps both local lads achieve their massive potential.

[Kovai Red]

He has a bit of swagger about him. He looks too confident in his abilities!

Klopp has rated him for a while  explains why he didn't go on loan

Midfield is crowded though I wonder where/when he'll play. He just needs to take his chance when it comes along and I think he's doing that...

[So… Howard Philips]

He looks promising but can he do it on a cold wet windy night at Stoke?

Or an even colder, wetter and windier night at Burnley?

[RyanBabel19]

This lad is such a brilliant player

Great to see him get his first league goal. Telling he doesn't look like a youth team/reserve team player in our midfield

[Qston]

local goalscoring midfielder who is really confident and great at getting into goalscoring positions with well timed runs. I have seen this somewhere before. Can`t think where

[RedForeverTT]

Did not notice how tall he was until saw him standing beside the small dwarf Salah.

Saw that on MOTD which was quite funny.

He is 1.85m which was about the same as  Steven Gerrard.

He is in Klopp's plans 


'We will have a lot of fun with him' - Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp eager to work with midfielder

Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to having "a lot of fun" with Liverpool youngster Curtis Jones.

Jones marked his first Premier League outing at Anfield with a debut top-flight goal to seal a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

It came less than 24 hours after the 19-year-old midfielder had put pen to paper on an improved contract that extends his Liverpool commitment to 2025.

Jones had only been on the field four minutes when he reacted quickest to Mohamed Salah's header down from an Andy Robertson cross to score the Reds' second in the 89th minute.

And Klopp said to the BBC: "This is Curtis in a nutshell. His first touch is pretty much a finish, and the goal he scored, you have to be in that position.

"He sees the cross coming, it looks a little bit long, then the wind slows it down, Mo can get the ball and Curtis is in or at the six-yard box.

"It's incredible, and he can finish the situation off. That is really special, and special about him.

"He has signed a new contract, which is good for him and for us. We will have a lot of fun with him in the future."

Jones, who now has three goals and an assist in nine senior appearances, has revealed the message he was given by Klopp as he was being prepared for his late introduction.

"He was just saying the usual, he knows that I'm good on the ball but it's about picking the right pass and knowing when to dribble," said the teenager.

"He said the game was a bit Villa were on the attack and then we were on the attack, just to try and get a hold of the game by the scruff of the neck and control the game a bit more.

That's what I tried to do and hopefully the goal helped."

Asked about his whirlwind weekend, Jones told Liverpoolfc.com: "They could call it perfect.

"But, for me, I'm just grateful for the manager and the rest of the staff for having the belief in me and putting me out there when it was only 1-0 and Villa were playing well. I'm grateful for that but it's been a good week."

Yep, I feel you, brother.
I was also a big fan of Steve McMahon.

It's about time he had an England cap..

I think Klopp made the same "we'll have a lot of fun" comment with Origi in the past.
That's alright by me

Looking forward to seeing Curtis become a cult hero and scoring great goals in big games

Apart from this....as others have said...Curtis does seem to be a player who fits right in. You cannot tell that he's an inexperienced teenager. Love it. He has it all I would say. Great attitude too - not too arrogant off the field. The only thing we don't know is how great his stamina is, and if he's injury prone or not. But who cares! He has all the right ingredients right now for any team.
Exciting times for us fans. I think other players like Rhian Brewster and Harvey Elliott give us the same vibes.

[na fir dearg]

delighted for him, massive potential

I loved him,wasn't my favourite player (was hard to pick one in those sides) but he was the one that I always tried to emulate.

[kloppismydad]

I am getting ahead of myself but I wonder if Curtis eventually becomes the replacement for Gini. Klopp and his team of coaches can train him to play a deeper role much as they did with Gini, and we know quite a bit already about his attacking prowess. Gini, by all accounts, will sign an extension but I'm guessing it'll be for 2 years or so? By then, Curtis will have more experience with the senior team and probably has substantial minutes in the first team to seamlessly replace Wijnaldum.

Yeah, I'm getting way ahead of myself! Can't help but feel excited seeing two local lads producing the goods for a hugely successful Liverpool team, so I can only imagine what our local supporters feel when they see Curtis and Trent play and do well for us.

[PIPA23]

how is his game time to goal ratio now?

great step up to the first team duty....

pleased for him... another player who will give his all for the club and from academy, always great to see!

If Curtis starts playing regularly, is Trent going to need a new song?

[newterp]

He and Trent can help translate Scouse for the rest of the team.

Just change one word

@ the Spurs fan calling us Loserpool

Paging Alanis Morissette, we gotta goodun here for ya, lol

[IanZG]

@ the Spurs fan calling us Loserpool

He posts in pretty much every football related thread on there. Almost certain he's not really a Spurs fan, just pretends to be one in order to get attention, always posts along the lines of "what a bunch of losers this club is" and keeps getting a ton of "well you support Spurs" replies. Best to block and move on...

[jooneyisdagod]

He has the technique and acceleration to buy himself the space he needs to shoot or play a pass, while also having the size and speed necessary to get up and down the pitch. He does have quite a bit of potential and it would be interesting to see how he develops in the future. If he keeps developing physically and can improve his technique (which is already good) a bit more, he could really turn into some player.

[kavah]

@ the Spurs fan calling us Loserpool

no, there are two, TWO !! 

[Bangin Them In]

@ the Spurs fan calling us Loserpool

Yeah, think his stream is about 4 years behind

[Oskar]

I'm not sure he will start any of the games we have left, but I'd love to see him play 60-70 minutes in midfield with Henderson and Fabinho.

[Jon2lfc]

I've seen a few comments on social media saying his scouse accent is unusual.
I've always assumed he had a slight speech impediment. Often grow out of it as you get older.
But others are saying it's like listening to scouse mixed with welsh and.... German?
AFAIK he's as scouse as they come. Born and raised in Tokky.

[tubby]

Sounded like he had a slight stammer or lisp that one time I heard him talk.

He’s a Barcelona fan

Could be a Toxteth thing. Always though Fowler sounded not quite Scouse enough 🤷🏻‍♂️

[RedForeverTT]

His goal against Everton is on BBC iPlayer.

Rewatched it and really can’t fault Jordan Pickford as it arched over so perfectly. 2 Alissons wouldn’t save that goal.

[Kennys from heaven]

Yeah, think his stream is about 4 years behind

He's four years old more like...

[Oskar]

Thought he showed today that he belongs at this level.

He was everywhere, the balance in midfield between him, Wijnaldum and Fabinho was pretty perfect and Jones had the freedom to move around the pitch and get forward. Could have scored and it was encouraging that he was finding the right positions to be in. It was a really mature performance, he looked confident from the start and should be very happy with what he did today.

[royhendo]

Copes physically an all. Fully expected him to bury that left footer that flew into the Kop. Just needs that composure to develop cos he finds goalscoring positions all the time.

[jillcwhomever]

He flows around the field so easily and already doesn't look out of place in midfield. I loved the way he was popping up everywhere the Burnley defence couldn't handle him at times. As Roy says a bit more composure and he will be fine.
