149 Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on Curtis Jones for his second goal against West Ham United last night.
The Reds absolutely battered David Moyes‘ side. They scored five last night, two of which came from Jones. Klopp appears to be a big fan of the 22-year-old’s second goal.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp raves about Curtis Jones’ second goal vs West Ham
Curtis Jones has had a difficult season at Liverpool so far with respect to game time.
The Englishman had played less than 800 minutes of football in all competitions before the Carabao Cup clash at Anfield last night, which is not a lot.
Jones got the nod from the start yesterday, and he was absolutely incredible. He was the best player on the pitch and scored two really good goals.
Speaking in his press conference after the game, Jurgen Klopp lavished praise on Jones for his second goal, calling it ‘pretty rare’ and ‘crazy’.
He said, as per Liverpool’s official website: “He did even better [than he has in recent months], to be honest, because he added in his game the acceleration with the ball, which is really important.
“You cannot do that against each opponent, but there are some opponents where you can do it, when you pass the first line then you have to go with the ball. His second goal is now a crazy goal because you go pretty much towards the penalty spot from where he scored, that’s pretty rare, but it’s an important thing for him to do.
“Yes, it was a really good game. He looked super-fresh, which is probably not surprising because he didn’t now play thousands of minutes in recent weeks. In general, the performance was just good.”
Curtis Jones should start for Liverpool against Arsenal
Liverpool are having an amazing campaign so far, but their biggest test of the season awaits them on Saturday when Premier League leaders Arsenal come to Anfield.
The Reds have an incredible record against the Gunners at home. The last time they lost at Anfield to the North Londoners was back in 2012, when Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla fired them to a 2-0 win.
Liverpool will go into the game this weekend as favourites once again, and with Alexis Mac Allister expected to miss the clash due to injury, we think Curtis Jones deserves to keep his place in midfield.
The 22-year-old is a very good player, and after his Man of the Match performance last night, his confidence will be sky-high.
