Topic: Curtis Jones

[Samie]

Dickheads in the media already talking about an England call up. These fuckers never learn. That and we've go a waistcoat fucker as a manager.

[Believe]

It’s interesting - do you reckon it’s nailed on he’ll start against City?

(Just not sure here - he might go with older heads.)

Based on injuries, I think it's a question of does he start ahead of Keita - if Thiago is available then inevitably we're looking at him, Henderson and Fabinho in three.

I'm not sure Klopp 100% trusts Naby just yet as we seem to sometimes lack a bit of control with him in and tactically it feels like he's still getting to grips with his role, which against a Crystal Palace or a Norwich City is no problem but is possibly suicidal against a team of Man City's individual and collective ability.

So, all of that having been said - and given Klopp’s love of a young player - I think the stage is set for Curtis to go out off the back of a great midweek performance and make a statement against elite opposition.

Which, increasingly and as I get older, is my favourite thing in football.

Phyllis of Hightown has posted his fbref scouting report. It's for the last full calendar year, and 1700+ minutes of play. Zoinks!

Curtis Jones, steamin' and a-rollin'
Curtis Jones, you never have to guess
When you hear the tootin' of the whistle
It's Curtis at the throttle of the Liverpool express.

[Bread]

I think there are some of us (mainly talking about me, it's me) that got so caught up in how brilliant Harvey Elliott is, we sorta forgot how brilliant Curtis Jones in. The idea of having 2 young, talented midfielders that could be destined for great things eluded me.

[Asam]

I get the feeling he’ll end up being a Firmino esque forward later in his career, his touch and technique is so good, he can dribble, shoot, head, he’s not super quick but then neither is Bobby

[killer-heels]

Real stand out performance yesterday. Will be interesting to see how much he is allowed to cut loose because he definitely links up well with Robertson and Mane.

[TepidT2O]

He was great yesterday, but I still can’t work out what kind of player he is…

Mad that he’s still only 20 though

[CraigDS]

Who was the twat who was saying he was shite a few months ago?

Wijnaldum with more skill, greater athleticism, greater vision...

Hmm, nothing like Wijnaldum then.

That's good. If we fans can't work out what kind of player he is, i can imagine it's even worse for the opponents.

[MBL?]

He’s unreal and it’s been evident for a good while now. Got more space in this game than he had in the league games he’s played and I expect him to start against city. Reminds me of coutinho the way he stands players up before the pass/dribble, just gives him a little extra time to deliver either.

[FlashGordon]

Cant remember the poster but the post has been stuck in my head for months. One of the worst shouts I've seen on here. Remember talking about him with Yorky on here last year and we couldn't be more in agreement that the lad is a very special talent. Someone said earlier he's as good a prospect as Trent which is spot on. Not guaranteed to make it to that level but my word he has all the tools.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

If people can't see how good he is and understand the level that he can reach then they're watching the wrong sport.

It was obvious when he played in the young sides and he's now looking like he is going to bring that level with the added growth to the first team.

If he weren't with us people would be calling for him to be signed up.

Love the kid.

He has stood out at every level he has played even before his debut for our senior team. And then leading that young team against Everton scoring that cracker put him on the map. He is a special talent and that doesn't change because he played a different role last season due to a large number of players being injured or because he got injured or because Harvey played a few games ahead of him.

[Grobbelrevell]

If Trent was available I was kinda expecting Milner to drop in there, for the 'older heads' factor you mention.

Given he's now looking likely to be at full back though, options are pretty limited given the Thiago injury, and questions around Keita.

I think with that all in mind, the shirt is probably his for this one. Can't see Keita coming in cold, and Chamberlain looks miles off.

[AndyMuller]

Has to start against City, fancy him to bag a goal.

He's like a Gerrard sort of player.
He does everything well, but needs to find his place. That... may prove to be an arduous search, but in the meantime, he'll play anywhere to help the team.

[Paul1611]

Our midfield could well be Jones - Fab - Elliott for some matches before the season is out.  That would be something

Unless it was a cup game I'd be absolutely astonished.

Not that Curtis and Harvey aren't terrific, but as good as they are they're not going to push the likes of Hendo and Thiago out of the pecking order for a little while yet.

And fortunately none of our midfielders ever gets injured, making such a line-up even more unlikely.

[El Lobo]

A cogent point as ever Yorky.

Admirable, but by some distance the wrong Casey Jones song.

Running that game
headed for fame
Curtis Jones you better
lead your team

Trouble ahead, trouble behind
but you know his mad shot
just crossed that line.
Yes you know his mad shot
just crossed that line.....

[an fear dearg]

Watching him running with the ball as some have referenced above he moves like McManaman. He has the physique of Gerard and mindset I would suggest of Gerard and the shooting/passing style but not quite there yet. Honestly believe that he can go as high as he wants at the club and the boss will allow that to happen. He really could be a top player.

[tubby]

Gerrard was more of a force of nature, he just bulldozed past people sometimes, way more physical than Curtis, who in turn is a much more silky player and glides around everywhere.

[Pistolero]

At his best he puts me in mind of Liam Brady....same close control, awareness, trickery and running/gliding style

[an fear dearg]

Completely agree and that’s where I see the McManaman comparison in terms of how he moves with the ball,  slightly languid, 2 footed, smooth as ye like.

Reminds me of this fella.

I remember someone saying they knew him and he was a bit of a bellend.

[bornandbRED]

He reminds me of Riquelme

[Crosby Nick]

Can I just say he reminds me of Jimmy Carter or Istvan Kosma just to dial down the expectations a little!

[Bobinhood]

He reminds me of Mahatma Ghandi.

[xbugawugax]

the way he glides around the pitch reminds me of mousa dembele from spurs...only with an end product.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

He reminds me of Riquelme

Weird because Riquelme was one lazy arse

[newterp]

I wouldn't compare him to such an ineffective president.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

He reminds me of my ex


He often shouts “OI CAPON SHIRLEY SAID YOUVE GORRA SMALL WILLY”
