00:00And looking at Curtis Jones, obviously he's coming back to the headlines. He's a really
00:08impressive player. He finished the Urban Cop era in some great form. He's obviously started
00:14under Arnish, sliding in and out the side. He's a player who really should deserve a
00:18lot of credit for them. How impressed with him have you been and how bright is his future?
00:23Obviously, he's got a massive time ahead, especially with the international side as
00:27well.
00:28Yeah, it's funny, Curtis Jones, because when he burst onto the scene, it was probably six
00:34years ago, something like that, and you were really excited. You thought he was a mercurial
00:39talent for the youth team. He was all about goals and assists, but he's morphed into a
00:46different type of player now. He was maybe more of a winger when he came to the team
00:50and now he's very much a centre of the field. When he was playing in a deeper role, he was
00:57getting forwards and breaking the lines. It was an all-action performance from him. There
01:02are sections of fans who haven't been fully convinced on Curtis Jones, but yeah, Klopp's
01:07always held him in the highest regard. I think it's been as pressing as maybe lacked in the
01:13past, but people forget how young he is and he's had to learn. He's still 23, 24 and he's
01:20just starting to come into his own now. Yeah, he's had to be patient at the start of the
01:26season. He's someone who aren't a slot really, fought highly of after coming in. You thought
01:34it was a big chance for Curtis Jones because a few of the midfielders were away on international
01:37duty and seemed to really enjoy what the head coach was doing. Then Klopp picked up an injury
01:42and struggled to get his place back and Liverpool got real good options in the midfield. Judging
01:50on his performance against Chelsea, goal, won the penalty, could have potentially won
01:54the second penalty for Liverpool. As a defensive work race, I think that was superb. He was
02:01given the task of man-marking Cole Palmer and to give him that responsibility just underlines
02:08how highly Arne Slott must think of him. Not just his ability, but the way to manage games
02:19and the way to not switch off and say, right, where's Cole Palmer? I've got to do this,
02:24and then go and get forwards. You've got to really doff your cap to that. Arne Slott's
02:29got some decisions to make when it comes to his midfield. Obviously, Calister didn't start,
02:33he wouldn't mind having these mistakes, these decisions to make. Arne Slott, Curtis Jones,
02:40he's certainly on an upward trajectory, but can he now become a real regular starter?
02:45Because he's had a base in the team, he's had sustained spells, but he's not yet had
02:50the season where he's been a starter for the most part. Now it's time to say, can you
02:57do that?
