His development this season has been incredible. Early on I had a few doubts about him and whether he could really fit into a Klopp team. There was that poor performance against Ajax (I think) where he went missing and the rest of the midfield had to carry him. Not any more. He is running the show in that midfield. One of the first names on the team sheet now. Love watching this lad play.

That pass to Mane after shaping to shoot twice was quality.

He just gets better and better. Not easy to shine in a midfield containing Henderson and Gini (also playing at the highest level).

His ceiling seems infinite.

It’s great to see another local lad come into the side and not only look the part but start to outshine those around him. Keita and Ox will have a real battle to dislodge Curtis from the side and bar him needing a rest he deserves a start over them on merit alone.

Keep trolling Fergie, please! It will never get old.

Few childish moments in the space of basically a minute. We have a really promising counter attack with numbers, he ends it by taking too many touches and ends up in a blind alley. Then, seconds later, another weird move which led to their corner. But all part of his progress, of course that he will still have these moments here and there.

I have this weird obsession with stupid giveaways such as throw-ins and corners, in the past, especially in 2013/14, they tended to lead to opponent having good chances and scoring (hey, Kolo). Jones wasn’t the only one responsible of giving away such stupid chances to WBA last night but in the end, his dallying on the ball and trying to dribble in his own defensive third led to WBA snatching a point. If these two dropped points drum more focus into him, then it’s a price Klopp would gladly pay, I think. He always says you learn more from defeats than from victories - and that felt like a defeat last night, especially compounded by two more injuries.

Yeah, too slow on the ball again. I remember one bit of play when he turned a complete circle with the ball at the corner of the 18 yard area with absolutely zero pressure on him. He’s young and he’ll get out of it but that’s the type of showboating some posters mentioned before and he was guilty of it a few times yesterday and eventually ended up costing us a goal that ultimately ended up with us dropping 2 points.

What’s so special about this, even if it’s his left foot, I don’t understand?

Looks like he is filling out a bit. He’s a great talent, and if he can keep his discipline and learn to do the simple thing when that’s the right option, he will become a hell of a player for us.

Probably just showing off as apparently none of our other players know how to score.

Mo is misfiring at the top of the charts.

Yeah, but that was a simple shot, without a goalkeeper and a wall… weaker foot and top bins okay, nothing you wouldn’t expect from a professional footballer. Even a few of us here would do it.

Just funny reading LFC’s comments, “naughty”, “watch this free kick”, etc. :joy:

It’s an old video that’s been edited,the original video shows the ball flying into Moreno left ear and coming through the other ear and flying into the goal.

You don’t understand because he’s speaking scouse or you don’t understand why this is worthy of a video? I’m in both camps.

Thought he was very good last night, but only when he came inside and when he moved to center midfield.

I don’t think he’s got the pace for being outwide for us, but he is growing into a fantastic center midfielder for me.

I don’t, he takes way to much time, the kid is in love with the ball want to touch it at least 5 times before he plays. Has to get rit of that.

I don’t think he was very good. Because we all have seen just how good he can be. But I’m not blaming the kid. Overall, he had an average game.

What concerned me is the fact that only for the second time I saw him being tentative, unsure. He was so decisive even in his early games.
