He probably could. I think either one of them at RB, I’d still assume Jones, would play more like an inverting player anyway so we likely end up with that box midfield. I’d like to see Robertson focus more on defensive duties today, tuck in alongside van Dijk more than usual and allow that to become a three man defence. That way we are getting the benefit of Jones in the “box” midfield while not needing him to perform heroics at RB at the same time.
Can’t believe he’s gone with the same attack which has stunk the place out the last 3 or 4 games,what’s that Einstein quote about insanity. Think this will end up a draw 1-1, Everton to score from a set piece.

As long as he doesn’t wait too long to make subs it might work in our favour. Give the Everton defence a thorough workout before bringing on faster players.

To be fair, both Jota and Diaz looked really sharp in their international games.
I would have liked to see Gakpo start, but he’s obviously not ready.

Thought his lack of game time over the past 2 weeks, covered concusion

Give the attack a chance before throwing the toys out of the pram.

I might not bother watching this, since we’re obviously going to get battered.

Nah Diaz, Jota and Salah have never done anything for this club so they don’t deserve a chance to put a couple of poor games behind them.

I wonder if it only comes into place once he returned home. Considering that’s later that might have delayed the 10 days.
He was training yesterday and Slot said nothing about him missing it.
Which 3-4 games are you referring to? We were obviously shite in the cup final. Otherwise we were brilliant/unlucky v PSG and comfortably beat City and Southampton

You still need to pass the concussion test.
12 points clear in a few hours hopefully.
Time for us to turn it on again, get the title wrapped up and then chill.

Yes, 4 of our best midfielders tonight.
Want control and extra touches and passes.
Our build up was shit in our last games against Everton and Newcastle.
Jones already did a job at RB under Klopp, he also might come infield in our possession phase. But then it’s tricky as Gravenberch is usually our RCM. And in this case, I’d expect Mac to be pushed up.
Shame there is no Alisson and Gakpo.

The other thing using Jones is that he then is only changing one position from what he considers to be his best and as you said it all depends from what he wants from his fullbacks, Jones for the box midfeilfd and Szob more a Connor/Robbo type FB, getting up and down, overlapping & underlapping

That is only a theory. The real origin of the saying has never been established.
