{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Curtis Jones

Cracking review Ed. Much appreciated mate. Here’s hoping the lad can kick on because I’m a massive fan.
{Ed001's Note - thank you aoe. I like him a lot when he is on song.}

Not a bad player but unreliable, would you be tempted to sell ed? I’d guess at 25 to 30m, just not good enough for me.
{Ed001's Note - certainly good enough, it is just that he is turning into Aurelio and looks to be made of tissue paper. I think I would want to know for sure the injuries can't be solved, but he has to be close to the exit door due to his injuries, sadly.}

Ed1, Aurelio, Agger, Sissoko and Ox. Players that started to come good but injuries ruin their time with us. Agger and Ox hurt the most for me because Ox just started to look very good and that one injury just ruin everything for him, and he never look the same after. Agger just because he loves playing for the club. Hoping Curtis will not turn like them.
{Ed001's Note - fingers crossed, but I have to say I am losing hope with Jones. He is still only 23, so he still can come good. I would want to look at his training and tailor it more specifically to his needs as well to see if that can help.}

Spot on review Ed01. Think Jones is 50/ 50 for me. If we don’t see a sustained improvement in fitness this season I’d sell him in a year’s time. We can’t afford passengers. He feels like a mid table player.
{Ed001's Note - it is such a shame as he started the season so well and looked like it had finally clicked for him.}

We always argue about Jones . I think he a good player. but my mates don't rate him . say he slow, keeps hold of the ball etc but I think he got a good skill set, still young . but he is injury prone. Wonder if that' his mentality bit like sturridge was.

Great read, for me he is definitely above Trent as the next captain . Hopefully he can get over the injury problems cos he on his day is a great player. He has to look around the team now and know he can take anyone’s place ( deservedly) I’d have no problem with him starting every week. It was harder for him previously when you look at the players he had to dislodge to get a game. Not now tho, he has to grab this season with both hands and show he wants it because if he doesn’t I too can see him being sold and I’d hate that being a local lad .
{Ed001's Note - thank you.}

Had to quickly scan through that Ed1 but a good read mate, nice one, sound as per usual. Would you prefer to see how he does under slot or sell him if an offer came in? Difficult one isn't it mate.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know, I would like to let the new medical team assess him and make the decision based on that.}

Nice write up, Ed.
I like the lad and hope he can sort his injury issues out. The ridiculous red card in that Spurs game and the impact injury versus Brentford were the two defining moments of his season.
{Ed001's Note - sadly they were, when it was a season that had promised so much, it ended up being defined instead by 2 moments of bad luck for him.}

I like Jones and hope he has a good injury free season next year for us.
I remember at one point the debate, that Jones was better than Foden.
Gotta be up there in craziness with following arrows around a supermarket to stay safe.
{Ed025's Note - Jones and Foden are very similar JK...in that they both have 2 arms and 2 legs...thats where the similarity ends im afraid mate, Foden is a bit of a shit head but a very gifted footballer, Curtis is Mr joe average im sorry to say..

Ed025 destroying everyone with a single reply ??????. Legend. Agree with Ed025 here. Average footballer who is always young and improving.
{Ed025's Note - i cant help telling the truth Jaguar mate.. :)

Think the last bit of the review nails it - he's started reminding me a bit of Lallana just messing about on the ball with very little purpose. Hopefully Slot can coach that out of him.
12.) 11 Jun 2024
11 Jun 2024 18:39:51
I think he’s better than you suggest Ed025, he just doesn’t show it often enough for the reasons mentioned!
{Ed025's Note - im not convinced at all Tom, i must admit i like to see youngsters coming through and especially local ones, but for me Curtis is very safe and does not project himself enough for me mate, his injury record could be a symptom of that i suppose and he is still only young but at the moment i dont see him as a starter for the reds..

Jones for me is a bit like Origi in that he’s very fortunate to be at Liverpool FC. Similar to Origi, if he were to leave his career wouldn’t be anything special whatsoever. I think you could put Joe Gomez in that category too. They should be thankful they had such a loyal manager in Jurgen Klopp.
{Ed025's Note - i would say you are spot on Irish, i think you may have a bit of Evertonian blood in those veins mate.. :)

Jones has always been a good footballer but never proved to be a great one. There was a period during the season where he got into top form and appeared like a definite starter, but he injured himself out of contention again. Too often unfortunately and I feel next season will be a cross roads point to stay fit and prove himself.
{Ed025's Note - yeah FK it could be make or break for the guy mate..

Maybe 25 ?. I went to an Everton match years ago but walked out at HT because it was soo bad ?. Does that count?
{Ed025's Note - you must have caught us on a bad day Irish, but you must have got the tingle mate?, that feeling when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and your heart pounds along to the Goodison roar, the excitement of listening to Z Cars and the Spirit of the Blues while you take in the atmosphere of the old lady, my bet would be that you had a little sing or a little hum along to those iconic tunes...am i right?...come on mate its ok to admit it..

I have to agree with Ed025. He’s never there when we need him, always injured, and most of the time he’s absolute Pony anyway. Get rid.

Nice to see we’re behind our players again.
Scouse ones at that.
Not his fault his injury prone. Maybe just maybe under a more direct attacking manager he’ll find some much needed confidence in his game is better suited and he can push on to be the player we all want him to be
He wears the badge with pride and gives his all when available.
Not so much the attacking football for Joe Gomez and obviously not being Scouse but I’d say the same for Joe.
Run of games and his form will come back
Gives his all with no complaints or whining at our great club!

Thanks Ed001
Curtis showed how good he is in the middle part of the season, when he was probably the first midfielder on the team sheet. I do believe he has the attributes to be a Liverpool player for a long time and would make a good future Captain. But got to agree with you re his injury record. If he/the club can’t sort that out then I think he will need to be let go. Would be sad if that were to happen as one of the family cats is named after him.

I haven't read ED01's review about Jones. I want to agree with him badly but sadly the fact is - Ed025 is correct.
He was always average and was winning over me with few good performances last year before the red card and injury.
Ed025 sometimes offers Third Eye view which we lack as LFC fans which is very crtiical but mostly true.
{Ed001's Note - are you for real? He just has a downer on anyone who plays for Liverpool and sees what he wants to. He thought Firmino didn't do enough. While he thinks Pickford is world class. So I am glad you agree with him and not me, if you think he has an eye for a player, as you clearly don't either.}

@Ed025 - did you mean caught you lot on a bad day or on a bad season? Is there a difference these days ?
{Ed025's Note - it could be either WDW, we have been in the doldrums for a while now but things are about to change, new owners, new ground, new hope, so all i can say to the rest of the Premier league is....be afraid...be very afraid.. :)

I've always said that, Thomo: he reminds me of Lallana.
Not bad players but frustrating in the way they think 'why pass the ball when I can have another touch'.

Don’t worry about Jones, he’ll be a regular under Slot.

I can’t believe some1 said jones is above Trent as our next captain, what are smoking. Lucky to be at Liverpool, he’ll be out injured more ties than fit again this season u watch, get rid and take gravenberch and Gomez with him.
