I think he could be a very important player for the national team.......He would perfectly complete England's 4-3-3 alongside Rice and Bellingham. He would compliment Dec and Jude perfectly. England are rather thin for through and through number 8's......because the other players to fulfill the number eight roles after Bellingham are Connor Gallagher, Ward prowse, an aging Henderson, or an inconsistent Mason mount. No disrespect meant to these other players, but I've always though Curtis was a level above them, particularly with his skill on the ball. Southgate actually has mentioned Jones in the past couple years as a player on his radar, even before he received a lot of plaudits for the end of last season/u21 Euros, so I'm sure he's close to the squad. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Jones for the England national team, Pythagoras.
Couldn't see the Endo video on your feed
please do Yves Bissouma
Rated him since his debut season. Technically great and very press resistant. His issue was he was an attacking mid who deliberated on the ball too long, but Klopp’s even said his speed of decision making has improved him a lot. We were converting him into a Wijnaldum role, and he’s become very good at it whereas before his tendency was to hold the ball too long and hinder our transitions. He’s actually very good in a more creative, attacking role (as we saw when MOTM against Porto), but that’s just not how he’s been used in the system.
Outside of LFC, Rangnick admitted he wanted Jones at RB Leipzig but Klopp insisted he was not open to a loan (about 3-4 years ago). Said he’s a big talent but that as he’s playing for his boyhood club, he didn’t want to leave.
People like Rio Ferdinand talk about being around coaches from the England U21 setup said years back that Jones was the most talented player. Teammates have suggested the same, and I absolutely believe that he is.
A bottom level of 66 still underrates him. Imo, it’s more like 69-73.
I thought he would be a great backup for macallister once the CDM issue is sorted.But looks like these two would be fighting hard for that left CM spot.Wish there was same kind of depth in defense

As an Arsenal fan I rate him a lot. He was very good towards the end of last season and in the Euro U21 during summer. He’s got such a bright future
Most english players barely progress after their early 20s
@@tf2368he’s trolling
Low-key he's becoming an absolute baller, I think he's transformed as a player over the last 12 months or so, and the team looks a lot better with him. His decision making has improved a lot (klopp's words) with the ball and he's an absolute pressing monster.
The best thing about him is his ability to implement what Klopp wants him to do . Last season, towards the end , with heavy legged midfielders , Jones was the one providing dynamism for LFC in the middle now with Dom n Alexis , he's playing the LCM with so much awareness and discipline .
Him covering and getting in there to help Robbo has been superb .
Discipline……. aged well
He's a really good player this lad, watched Liverpool a few times now and he's surprised me
Thank you, i waited so long for this video. In my opinion, i think Jones is perfect definition of jack of all trades and master of none, he's one of the most versatile midfielders in PL and maybe in the world but he doesn't have that outstanding attribute that makes a specialist in a specific position, i hope he becomes something because he looks like he has alot of things going on with him that it will be sad to see all that talent being wasted.

8:55 Conclusion (Overall Player Rating)
Great analysis as usual.
I knew he'd have world class potential, but he almost got to generational.
I always critiqued him for his lack of consistency, and his poor and slow decision making. Happy you touched upon it. His dribbling is one of his best attributes.
His decision making has improved a bit, but I would like to see more consistency from him.
His counter pressing & ability to control the ball between the lines in tight areas are his best attributes imo
He’s also very tall, he needs to use that to his advantage add elements to his game that will utilise that
Jones knows how to use his body well. Where I had complaints in the past was his overall energy level was not high enough to be a great Klopp midfielder. He could be beaten when fatigue caused little let ups. Last season, he came back from injury more energetic than ever. And Klopp has been using him carefully, usually subbing him after 70-75 minutes so he comes off the pitch feeling strong. Only very recently has he been completing full games, again, and he looks good.
what a riview mate...Absolutely nailed on!!
I really like Jones, have admired him ever since I saw him in playing in the LFC youth sides, I appreciate his confidence, skill and work ethic! That said, from what I've seen I'm jot sure he'll ever be a 1st choice starter for a top team like Liverpool, I see him having more of a James Milner career as a hardworking, reliable and deceptively skillful player who adds real strength and depth to our squad and probably plays every game in the domestic cups.
Having said all that, I hadn't realised how young he still was. 22 is pretty young still and while he's definitely behind in development compared to others his sort age who've had more game time (Foden for instance) he still has tome to make the step up and become a star if he puts the work in.
He is very Good at maintaining procession and providing assistance all around the field
Spot on analysis as always!
Crazy how this video comes on the same day as the worst game was officiated by Simon Hooper for Tottenham game.
Hes been one of if not our most important player in midfield this season, a lot like wijnaldum and henderson neither are ever gonna do something which can win a game but they facilitate other players
Spot on analysis. A very talented albeit at times frustrating player to watch. Klopp has already worked wonders on him simplifying his game but more work needed nonetheless.
Very rarely I agree with every single point you have made on your player analysis. Great work bro👍👍
Another one!.. I really like your player analysis man. We need to get one for lamine and rodrygo. For different reasons though
He’s performing the gini wijnaldum duties in the team. This is why some of his stats are low. Gini was bottom of nearly every metric but was a vital cog in the machine doing the things that get very little attention or recognition and fit Curtis I think this is the best thing for him to play at an elite level. As a youngster he was the star of the team playing at one of the main attackers but he’s not of the elite level like foden. As a midfield facilitator though he can be a top top player
Very astute comment and I totally agree. Has the potential to become better even than Gini in this regard.
Good insights.
It took almost two years for Wijnaldum to blossom into the reliable engine we remember so fondly. The hard part about tuning into Klopp's system is not about attacking -- Gini was always a creative and offensive beast for Netherlands. It means understanding when and how to not lose the ball. It means anticipating the danger and knowing when to press.
I'm so excited for this
The lad's got big potential for sure.
Finally!
Another great video. A martinelli would be very interesting!
Agree with all the analysis of him as a player. Pretty much all spot on. Was just unsure about the commentary at the end about his game time. Think he's actually grown into one of Klopp's most trusted players, and him cementing a place in this squad has been huge for Liverpool's upturn in form. A loan now would be a huge step backwards.
The reference to game time was about previous seasons and he should have been getting regular game time then at a smaller club, so he would be even more developed now.
@@PythagorasinBoots that makes sense, great video as ever
Curtis Jones is Brilliant!! Passing and Moving with the ball is Unique. He is growing at such an amazing pace and deserves to be in the team.👌‼️❤️
Can you do an updated Saka/Martinelli analysis?
Great video as always. Curtis has always confused me, he’s looked silly and so close to being real good, but it’s not totally come together.
Agree that some consistent loan+game time would do him wonders. A season in the championship could’ve gone a line way to unlocking the player Curtis Jones shows flashes of becoming.
"It's obvious to see why Klopp has been reluctant to make him a fixture in the side."
Pardon?! He's started almost every game in their current 18-game unbeaten run, since returning from injuries.
That was clearly in reference to his previous use by Klopp. As in there was a rawness to his game and Klopp as spoken about how recently they worked with Jones to sharpen up his use of the ball and speed up his decision making hence he’s playing more regularly at the moment. In conclusion we said we hope Klopp keeps using him and that way he can realise his potential rather than stagnate again.
@@PythagorasinBoots He was been ravaged with injuries the last few years, growing pains and shin splints, it's kept him out of training sessions and games which has kept him very frustrated according to Klopp, he wanted to train he would feel ok but the medical team would advise against it or simply not allow him to train.
At the very worst he's a good squad player but this guy has potential who knows how far it will take him. I've liked Jones ever since he was 18 and scored top bins outside the box vs Everton to win the cup game, injuries have curtailed his development somewhat hopefully he can leave those behind him and have the urgency and fight to be a Liverpool 1st teamer, the time is now to kick on.
He has all the attributes needed to become a very good player in the middle of the park. Left center mid is his best position but to be honest he could play anywhere in midfield if needed.
great video again
Thanks again!
Curtis are sooo good this season 👏❤
Making moves!
As a Liverpool fan I love him ❤ he’s got so much promise
One of the most underrated player in the league.
curtis jones to me feels like the kind of player that will raise the floor of a midfield rather than the ceiling of one
Curtis Jones is really good. Started rating him last season
Where do you get the data? Nice vid
Could you do an analysis on James Maddison
Literally got sent off, unfairly imo, because of what you said at @0:57, good eye.
Always admire Jones as a young Talent 😊
He holds no fear. He's not afraid to take on players, it's the only way you learn
He was given the captain armband last week for a game and the future is bright.
He starts a lot of games this year because last year he had a lot of injuries, I don't think game time will be an issue for him this year if he stays fit
If Salah does leave, Curtis Jones can be tried as a slow RW, similar to Kulusevski to make use of his dribbling and crossing. He can interchange position with Szob create a deadly combo on that side. His work rate can cover for Trent as well. However, Klopp like his winger to be fast. I will not be surprised if he buy neto or just put Szob on the wing.
He should definetely be in England squad. Really underrated
You should do one for Boniface or guirassy 😊
you can really see why the club have persisted with him. given the improvement darwin and others have shown they must believe his intelligence can be developed with coaching, also a great squad option in his current state
Someone I would clarifications on are you saying Curtis Jones is better than Billy Gilmour?
Which one is higher now and ceiling.
He is a totally different player nowadays. He used to be a tricky attack minded winger who was too slow to decide what to do with the ball & would massively slow down transitions & lose advantages. Now he is a number 8 who is press resistant & recycles possession. He still holds the ball but because he plays further back its actually an advantage. He has a fox in the box mentality which he didn’t have before, he gets in the right positions to score easy goals, instead of the 25 yard coutinho style wonder goals earlier in his career.
He's freaking brilliant.
Who’s here after that horrible res
I'm impressed by his finishing, especially with his left foot, on the other side his long passing seems very disappointing for a midfielder.
With his good athletiscism and solid defensive contribution, box-to-box or mezzala are probably his best roles.
3:00 weighted passes
I can see that F. De Jong leads most of the stats. A very great midfielder so underrated
Do a video on Trent
Lol the red card timing is epic here
Good starter best backup
Please do Analysis on ANDRE TRINDADÈ! 😢
He's really really good, but Klopp is always fighting to keep him grounded, I think, because he worries about him getting overconfident, so he always underplays Curtis when he plays particularly well. It's kind of cool that now, under the radar, Jones has become the secret sauce.
Bad day to post this
Please do Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and if he's up the primer league leave
Please do harvey elliot 🙏
an analysis about vini jr or rodrygo 🙏
The timing of this video 😂
Need an analysis on Federico Valverde.
Please do Harvey Elliott!!
He players in a lfc midfield who don't score or assist much period. Has is key player for lfc. Top player period. We are much better with him
Got red right now against Spurs.
Where is the arsenal vs man city video?
5:15 wdym by backlift?
Time it takes to get the shot off. If you look at how his leg goes back before striking and then after the shot is made the follow through - it is very expansive which allows great power but if you do that for all your shots, it means it takes a lot of time to complete the whole motion. The best ball strikers can mix it up and know when to take a smaller motion to get shots off quickly.
He plays like a mixture of prime Henderson and prime Wijnaldum.
McAllister unable to play LCM because of how good Jones is now.
Come on, man, he’s been in the Liverpool first XI for about 20 games now, ever since he got fit at the end of last year. It’s only injuries that have stopped him playing. The idea he should be on loan to get game time is laughable.
What is it about 'he should have been sent on loan' i.e. in the past sense, prior to the past few seasons do you not understand.
The video's timing 😭
Red card was a bit harsh
The players you compare to are just too good which deflates all his stats. I'm not saying he's world class, but he's definitely a working progress who just needs a consistent run of matches.
I think jones is a natural 8 but nedds more game time to develop
He wouldve been great for Brighton
I’m just waiting for the how good was Luis Suarez
Curtis Jones is the new James Milner
More Wijnaldum than Milner id say.
@@cosy1914 mostly speaking on versatility and getting red cards. 😔
Bro he's literally been starting nearly all the games from our 18 game unbeaten run... He's already integral. What is this guy talking about loans
Bro if you actually learn to watch the video properly you would notice we meant up to this date the reason why his game still feels underdeveloped in some respects is that he hasn’t played much football. Yes he’s playing now but he would have been even better if he had a loan and then came into the side now.
😂I can't believe you bothered to reply
Yo Pythagoras, I’ve been reading the comments and wondering why you’re even replying to us.
Bro, this guys response to you should let you know to not reply to us buffoons as we’re beneath you (I’m not being sarcastic btw).
Bruh when you become somewhat a voice of influence, you need to build tough skin and learn to just let things go.
I mean, how can he say something and then when you come up with a meaningful rebuttal, he laughs in your face? Because he himself rates you highly and sort of knows he’s not on your level.
So please sir, do your expert analysis and just ignore our commentary as we aren’t skilled enough to do the same let alone criticise your work and be worthy of response.
Just my two cents.
@@saintmte5076 bro I stated facts then he made me see I misunderstood that part of the video... you're writing multiple paragraphs and you're still wrong...pity
@@PythagorasinBoots you see what I'm doing right now (ignoring this buffoon) is what you should've done from the very beginning. I just *KNEW* he would respond as we humans are very predictable, and already had my plan of action. Peep game my guy. All the best to you.
Liverpool Fans-
Pedri- 100 million 😮😮😮
Jones- Free 😂😂😂😂
CURTIS JONES HIVE, WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
youtuber's curse?????
He's not good enough yet. When Klopp started him against Tottenham, i knew he would struggle alot and it wasn't long before he got a red.
Lacking footballing IQ
He's bang average, same with Elliot
Sent off against spurs💀☠️
he is so average he is a good sub but def not a starter and klopp should start getting mac allister unto his natural position and try gravenberch in the cdm position and rotate endo and gravenberch in the cdm position
Good at getting sent off ❗️
ruined the match by official
He got red card on next game 😂😂😂
Wrongfully fool.
Tbh he is just an average player. Its just he is good fit in klopp system like henderson.
the henderson disrespect is actually insane
@@connorc.Dont get me wrong im not disrespecting him. Being an average player doesnt mean bad. However if u look at henderson will people call him among the best midfielder in epl?nope right. He will always be a liverpool legend but as a player he will never be among the best in europe. Thats why i said Jones&henderson are a good fit in Klopp system but an average as a player in epl.
depends on how you rate a player
I know your reason for calling him average and I am nailed on on this: he doesn't play for the club you support
So basically you’re calling him average at best 😂
Not really. He has world class potential but obviously needs time to refine and grow his game.
@@PythagorasinBoots make a video on Eric Garcia and why managers keep picking him despite him being not all that defensively
@@PythagorasinBoots Why’d you give Gomez a low score in your player ratings? He was immense and I’m usually the biggest critic of Gomez, atleast an 8/10
Because Richarlison his direct opponent got an assist, and almost got another with the offside call and he bodies Gomez on to the floor during a 1 v 1. I thought Gomez was pretty useful going and it wasn't an awful performance but as a RB, if my LW opponent gets an assist - I am going to be gutted.@@CodPatrol
Does average things, average player😊
I dont rate him he needs loaning out. he loses the ball more times than i can remember
He’s average. Holds onto ball too long. Too slow. Rates himself too much. I’m a Liverpool fan btw
He is not good enough for the first team of Liverpool. Overrated player.
