One midfield star continues to impress for Liverpool under Arne Slot, and Steven Gerrard has gone as far as stating the 23-year-old is more gifted than he ever was
Steven Gerrard has hailed Curtis Jones as more technically gifted than himself. The Liverpool icon also said Jones is deserving of his current spot in Arne Slot 's first-team lineup. Jones marked his 150th appearance for Liverpool in their 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Wednesday, and with the manner in which the 23-year-old has been developing, it's possible he could feature in the Reds' strongest XI for some time to come.
'Every time Curtis played for me against Everton and Manchester United, he was the man of the match in every single game. That tells me that he's got what you need to play for Liverpool. He needs to stay in this 11 now. He needs to take the challenge on.' Next on Jones' schedule was a Merseyside derby against the Toffees on Saturday afternoon; however, inclement weather conditions led to the postponement of the highly anticipated game.
