Another hour of action in the bank for Curtis Jones in what was a particularly assured performance in the middle of the park.
The Scouse Academy graduate excelled as the Reds’ metronome in the midfield, registering 75 touches and completing a whopping 93% of his passes (56/60), according to stats compiled by Sofascore.
The Merseysiders secured passage through to the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup, courtesy of a 2-1 win over the Cherries.
What a turnaround in midfield
Just to think that a few months ago there were some very real, very genuine concerns over the quality of our midfield department.
Get past Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch – all signed this summer by the way – and Jurgen Klopp can still call upon Jones, Harvey Elliott, Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo and Thiago Alcantara (when back from injury).
It’s a selection for now and the future – an ideal blend of potential and quality that we should reap the rewards of for the foreseeable future.
What a time to be a Liverpool fan!
