Per Keifer MacDonald, Curtis Jones is eager to make up for lost time after emerging as Liverpool’s most significant midfield player this season.
Curtis Jones’s role at Anfield has always been best summed up by the League Cup, notwithstanding all that he packed into his early Liverpool tenure.
The midfielder had to compete against players like James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita for playing time in the Premier League in previous seasons, and he was forced to utilize the competition as a platform to show why he deserved more opportunities.
However, Jones has used the League Cup in a completely different way this time around.
The 22-year-old has highlighted his incredible development at Anfield over the past 12 months with performances against Leicester City, Bournemouth, West Ham United, and Fulham.
Shortly after the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals ended with a 2-1 victory over Fulham on Wednesday night, Jones basked in the praise of the Kop following yet another masterclass in Total Football at Anfield.
The No. 17 finished the game with a 98 percent pass completion percentage (48/49), 100% duels won, and a game-changing goal that sparked the Reds’ most recent comeback victory.
