Hi Ed’s,

Thanks for the updates and the honest feedback you provide.

Just a quick question, I think Curtis Jones looks a very promising player and was trying to think what previous players in Liverpool’s history he is similar too.

Based on your knowledge is there a player he reminds you of at this age?

Thx

Andy o.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know mate, I can't think of any. Not off the top of my head. I have never really given it any thought. I try and avoid comparisons as it does not help young players to be compared to previous ones.}

I love his arrogance ED001 but in the right way, he is not fazed at all by playing in the first team, as long as he is prepared to continue to work hard and take advice from the senior players around him, and of course klopp and the coaches i see no reason at all why he should not have a good career as a liverpool player.

{Ed001's Note - I like him a lot, he was a quiet boy but is coming out of his shell now as he grows in confidence. I have really high hopes for his future.}

Looking forward to seeing Jones get more game time next season. He still has a battle on his hands though to get that game time. At the moment it looks like he is replacing Lallana in the squad and he didn’t exactly feature much last season. I think Jones will get more opportunities next season but I think he will need to be patient still.

He indeed will still need to be patient because he won't get as many games as he wants so am I been wrong here in saying, I think him going to another premier league club on loan would be best for him? Somewhere who would guarantee him regular game time, that's what he needs and that's something he isn't going to get here just yet. See how he does, if he does well then next season we gradually push him in.

Depends on the circumstances, Salah mate. Normally, I would agree with you, but with us not having any money, and the season being compressed with games coming thick and fast, I think he's got the opportunity to get a decent level of playing time, learn the liverpool way, and then perhaps get a full season loan next year. He's only 19 (I think), so even at 20 next year he's still young, will have decent experience, and by the time he returns at 21, he'd be a top player I reckon.

I know it's big praise but he reminds me of Steve McManaman.

I think there's a bit of Adam lallana about him. I know that's probably a lazy comparison, but he plays on the left of the front 3 or l in cm. He can tackle quite well for a slight lad and gets goals.

And I don't think so salah mate. I think he's good enough to get games for Liverpool this season. He's just beyond the point where a loan would be best for him. I think fighting for a place is best for him as I think he'll win that fight quite a lit.

Arrogance is fine if you can back it up, but Jones thinks he is the bees knees, he ignores and doesn't even speak to the younger guys in the U17s. from an LFC youngster who I know personally.

K heard he was a quiet lad at school. Not arrogant at all by all mean.
