Ahead of Thursday's clash with Leeds, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot talks about Curtis Jones' return to the the side that has coincided with their best run of results since September. The 24-year-old was their best player in the Champions League victory over Inter Milan in the San Siro stadium, the second of his five successive starts, earlier this month and he has built on that to play an influential role in four back-to-back wins.
00:00I think that's always one of his main qualities, that he always wants to have the ball, no matter what the situation is.
00:09That is 99 out of 100 times very positive.
00:13Sometimes it's also smarter maybe to stay away from the ball or not bring yourself in a difficult situation.
00:19But even if it's a really difficult situation, he had one in the corner, he was able to bring himself out of the situation and play the ball to Ryan.
00:28So I think the first and most positive thing for him is that he's able to stay fit for four or five games in a row now.
00:36And he's played indeed 90 minutes every single time.
00:41That might have to do a bit with his performance.
00:45But if you look at our bench, you didn't see any player that is a midfielder that has played more than 10 minutes in the Premier League so far.
00:54So that's why I'm so pleased with our current results.
00:59Because if we would have dropped points, people would have probably talked about the fact how many players we miss.
01:05But we don't drop points, so that's why no one is talking about the players we miss.
01:09Maybe because they only talk about how much we spend.
01:12Lots of players.
01:13I think the players a lot of players will be hitting the ball in the corner of the room.
01:15You have to get the ball in the little direction though.
01:16I like some players at the table.
01:18You want to be in the middle…
01:19...you want to grab a couple of players to pull in the middle of the room.
01:21I'm really excited to see when people are hurting the ball in the air.
01:24Under the first round, people are going to have to go time.
