Mascot:

A word for Curtis Jones. A great half from him. Reminds me of Wijnaldum, the way he recycles the ball, keeps it moving, and stretches the pitch. He retains possession so well, is always available for a pass. He’ll probably finish his Liverpool career with a load of trophy and a subset of Liverpool fans on Twitter calling him a waste of space.

It’s a nice comparison, but even as someone who loved Gini I think it does Jones a disservice. Gini’s manipulation of the ball was 90% about retaining possession - receiving it and making sure it went somewhere the pressing opponent couldn’t get to it. It’s a valuable trait and sort of thing that team mates love, but it rarely was a progressive thing. Jones does it to create better passing options for himself. There is a balance to strike between doing what he does and giving it simple and its one talented young players have to learn on the job because the ones good enough to do it simply don’t have to work very hard at the youth level to create those openings. Players of his ilk tend not to really blossom until they are 23-24 and so with the improvements he’s made the past two seasons, at 22 now I’d say he’s ahead of schedule. He’s just a really talented and effective player and I wish more of our fans appreciated him.

That post is way too good for this thread

If we get a penalty who takes it Jones, Mo or Nunez.
