How Liverpool's Curtis Jones Just DOMINATED Chelsea

[@SlyRatchet4]

Curtis is our new Gini, unbelievably underrated by our own fanbase and ignored by the rest of football fans.

[@kiweping5]

The only problem with Curtis is he isn't very consistent

[@ams1897]

He is actually, he’s just injury prone. When he plays he’s mostly very good.

[@LFCAbadinho]

If only he could learn to release the ball sooner he would be worldclass

[@ahmedfariheen4881]

i like curtis, but sometimes i get annoyed at him holding the ball too long, and then gets tackled, mostly i like him to press and doing some simple passes

[@NotSoFakeTaxi]

@@LFCAbadinhoeveryone says this. But what if his instructions from the manager is to not take risks. To hold onto the ball and control possession. Not everyone needs to make line breaking passes like Trent. Every player has very specific roles.

Rarely comment on here but just had to say this has recently become by far my favourite footy channel. The vast majority I find are clickbaity, have poor or boring analysis or are just bad personalities. 442 over the past year or so is the complete opposite in all aspects. So cheers I guess 👍

[@anovaguy]

Curtis Jones played his way into Klopp's team multiple times, but just kept getting weird injuries. I think he's the reason Klopp didn't make midfield signings at certain points, which backfired because of those injuries.

[@JohnTravena]

There’s an interview with James Milner where he talks about a young talented Liverpool player who was on the wrong path. He mentions it in passing but quite sure he was talking about Curtis - thought it when I first heard it and have heard others say he was surely talking about Jones. In addition to the injuries it sounds like there were periods where he wasnt taking his duties seriously. Jurgen was always impressed with him though, always said he was never short on confidence.

[@JCC311]

Chelsea didn't win the tactical battle. They had more possession. That is not the same thing. They had very few chances for their possession. Liverpool beat Chelsea by winning the battle over Cole Palmer. They gave up other things to do it, and that meant Chelsea could control possession. But Liverpool clearly decided Chelsea having possession without Cole Palmer was better than trying to control possession but leaving Palmer open. And it worked.

[@preethamhazard]

Chelsea had better chances than what Liverpool had. Palmer shot blocked by Jones, he hit a shot over the bar, Jackson hit the post, Veiga headed over the bar and Nkunku inches away from an equalizer.

[@Semmy27]

You could see the one time palmer found a half chance too that he sent over how pissed off van djik was with konate for not watching the cutback, the whole setup was to take palmer out the game 100%

[@luke_will_taylor]

Salah’s quality and experience was underrated in the match as well

[@isthatmysatay]

This match showed it.......the chelsea squad was full of young guns.....and they made silly mistakes......😂😂😂 why did Jackson thought getting into the penalty box to take a piss out of Salah.....was a good idea? The only good thing was the ref was shite towards BOTH teams😂😂😂

[@robbiedavey2439]

You could still argue Slot won the tactical battle, as he realized with the way Chelsea currently like to play he wouldn't be able to control Palmer and use Curtis Jones and have the majority of the possession. So we set up deep allowing Chelsea to have the ball and then hit them on the counter. If Liverpool had the majority of the ball it allowed Chelsea to rush us on the counter, leaving us exposed - which is something similar to how Chelsea actually scored

I never understood the Curtis hate. He's a great all rounder and intelligent player. He always does the job.

[@isthatmysatay]

Because...Jones......got poor decision making......he used to hold the ball for too long...and lose his 1v1......hence why he got benched alot under Klopp.......once he improved that aspect......he did played beautifully well during the U21WC back in 2021..with Harvey..........and he played MORE under Klopp ....injuries aside. NOW, under Arne......Curtis player profile and technical skills......is better suited Arne Slot's style and tactics...possession based. And....it was the same for Luis Diaz.....he doesn't pass or he pass too late...

[@XenoFan-u2i]

​@@isthatmysatay yes, but in this game Liverpool possession is pretty low. He can play in a pressing system as seen in his defensive stats this game. But yeah, his decision making needs some work, he literally tried to nutmeg a goalkeeper to continue his dribble. That said I rmb a time in Klop's last season where Maca was still getting used to being the sole number 6. Jones was our best midfielder till he got injured again. After that, Endo became our number 6 and Maca moved up.

[@mohdfazril5824]

There's one very obvious flaw about him, holding the ball too long at times which would have elevated him further if he learnt how to do that. But after already many seasons with us it seems he won't ever change that habit, I guess just have to take the good that he brings with this one flaw.

[@kopxpert]

It's partly because there's this group of fans (mostly FSGOUT backers) who are consistently demanding new signings every season and by acknowledging Curtis Jones' as an LFC level first team player, it goes against the narrative. This has been going on for years, ever since he first broke into the first team - "Jones is not good enough for LFC therefore we need a new signing". It's the FM gen who always needs new signings to get excited for the season but they don't even realize the season we won the PL 19/20, we did not even make ANY proper summer signing lol

[@nicodiangelo7051]

Jones was everywhere. Not just on the ball, but off it. Notice how his heat map is concentrated around the exact area you said Palmer thrives in. He was the key man in locking Palmer up. That was crucial in Chelsea not being able to create big chances

[@mattinterweb]

Liverpool fans who don't go to the games rate Jones too (well at least the ones I know). Technically gifted. Fantastic at winning the ball back and if he can stop getting niggly little injuries and get a good run in the team I'm convinced he could be one of the Prem's best midfielders. He sometimes holds onto the ball too long (one instance was not passing to Salah quick enough on Sunday and Mo strayed offside, but the kid is class and now he's grown into his body can really handle himself physically.

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

Let's not forget his work rate either. ❤❤❤❤

[@TheJellitin]

Not just little injuries, it’s been long absences for some very strange reasons. Like that time he missed two months because of a finger to the eye. He’s had really rotten luck

[@joshuakithyoma9575]

@@joshuakithyoma9575 Yes, but needs a run of games. Szobs has had a long run in the team last year and this and still doesn't score goals. If you're an 8 you have to contribute. Would like to see Curtis given a run ahead of him

[@mohazali6810]

Liverpool have been impressive this season and the fact that Arne slot showed respect to chelsea by letting us have the ball and sitting Liverpool in a mid block actually surprised me . Arne slot knew chelsea were dangerous on the transition specially when teams leave space in behind . One thing I noticed was how chelsea was able to penetrate their 4-2-4 pressing especially how we were able to find a pass for lavia or caicedo especially in the first half.Sancho had a lot of 1v1 against Trent but this game was tailor made for mudryk tbh Trent defended well most of the time. A lot of teams are gonna find ways to play around the 4-2-4 pressing structure but credit to slot he has done a remarkable job at Liverpool so far .

[@adamchisum2150]

Mudryk hahahahahahahah

[@GlynnParry-bs6xg]

Credit to you for understanding that, many don't look too deeply into a game. Conversely Maresca did see what Liverpool were doing and made his own tweaks, just Slot did again too. Really really tactical match.

[@nijdey2320]

This has to be the best analysis of the game I have seen. It's true, watching the match you felt Chelsea were the better side. But after your break down, I can understand why Liverpool ultimately won. Thank you! For the unbiased analysis.

[@luke_will_taylor]

Maresca tactics were spot on, but the personnel choices nullified his tactical tweaks. That left side definitely needs more threat in this Chelsea team. Too much of the attacking contribution relies on Jackson, Madueke, Palmer all on the right. Chelsea need to get that balance in threat right, like City does with their attacking midfielders. Wondering if KDH or Felix can offer more threat to the left side 8, especially when teams are tracking Palmer. Risky in defense but could have massive benefits in attack.

[@kayceee6770]

Without Cucu and Fofana missing for the tie would have given Sancho more support than having Gusto a RB inverting at LB. Then both CB were pretty much ball playing CB's that like to make line breaking passes, only Fofana tries to breach space with a run. I reckon if Cucu and Fofana weren't suspended Enzo might have started to have more of a passing lane into the forwards- although Lavia and Caicedo were winning the midfield it couldn't be converted into better attacking positions for a Sancho one two, or passing into Palmer to get him in the game more. Palmer was played out the game by Liverpool quite well with only really 2 good passes made into Jackson in attacking areas, one being the goal, probably the 2nd assist to Jackson by Caicedo. Still a pretty good game for James and Lavia return but their exit probably cause a destabilisation since Gusto had to return to RB.

[@tspcontent4630]

Jones was class but it’s hard to say he “dominated” when the players he was directly up against (Caicedo & Lavia) also played incredibly

[@mr.lucien2876]

Jones locked Palmer pretty much the entire game, won a penalty (almost 2), scored the winner, and if he passed the ball quicker Gakpo goals stands. I think it's fair to say he dominated.

He has realised he needed to improve on his defensive work and he has done that. Once Elliott returns our midfield will be very strong! Also I think Chelsea are underrated too. They need an experienced CH who organises and a quality striker and that team will challenge. Oh I forgot the keeper had an absolute shocker

Really tiny thing, but you keep switching which way round pass and heat maps are and sometimes point to the wrong place. It’s really hard to tell which way is which. E.g.

[@ndi7365]

Slot is actually insane good and will be a tougher challenge for Pep than Klopp. Slot allowed Chelsea to show up with more possession and due to the players he picked he knew they would isolate Palmer then use Liverpool's quality to hurt them. This guy is coming into every game with a new tactic and new objectives like its a game and that's scary. He actually doesn't have a consistent system he just makes it work on the day then try to adapt if it doesn't

[@alphazero5421]

Having key players to get you out of trouble is important to win games. It's really down to these players that can control a game, it's why Liverpool and Man City are so consistent this season. (I want to say Arsenal but they have been inconsistent so far.) Man City: Ederson, Ruben Dias, Rodri, Gundogan, KDB and Haaland. (I don't watch City games so who steps up for Rodri since his out for the season?) Liverpool: Van Dijk, Robbo, Trent, Salah, Macca and Alisson. (Now recently Gravenberch.) Arsenal: Saka, Saliba, Gabriel, Ben White and Odegaard. Man United: ... Chelsea: Palmer and Caicedo. (Is there anyone else?) Tottenham: Maddison, Son, Romero and Pedro Porro. (Anyone else I missed?)

[@pepa007]

Fair play to Liverpool, they deserve to lead the table. While we had possession, we weren't particularly dangerous. But to be fair, I quite happy we were able to keep up with Liverpool at all. Let's face it, nobody expected that before the season started and I was also afraid Liverpool will destroy us in this game.

If Curtis can improve his timing of decision-making (when to shoot, when to make a pass), he'd be world class. Not that we don't rate him but the expectation on him has been really high since he's promoted to the first team. We want him to be even better!

Every game there is a game plan from Slot which make Liverpool unpredictable for the opposition teams. I think Forest was incredible to dictate Slot's game, many manager won't be able to do as Forest manager did against Liverpool.

[@robwor8320]

As a non match going fan of Liverpool, I can tell you that I absolutely love and rate Curtis Jones. However, there are things you have not mentioned about him. The one thing I hold against him is that sometimes he dwells on the ball too much when a faster pass or shot was required. For example, the goal that salah was offside for, he had 2 extra touches when he should have passed earlier. The Pen that was reversed by VAR, he had a clear chance to shoot the ball and yet again he took too long to allow the keeper to come out and close him... that is 2 goals right there where we could have a comfortable lead. But still, his work on the balance for the day was immaculate and I would have subbed Szoboszlai than him, if it were not a matter of fitness.

[@Tom-ge4yh]

Dominated Chelsea is a wild statement. Chelsea controlled alot of that game, it was liverpools 2 CBs who stopped everything

I honestly did think Liverpool was being outclassed on chances overall, and maybe thought it spoke further into them not being ready for a title charge.

Just had me thinking that Liverpool was assured they had it in the back and were just saving energy for their upcoming horror fixtures.

tbf Liverpool should have won that game in the 1st half if the ref wasnt trying to sabotage them, Tosin should have been sent off, Colwill should have gotten a yellow early for the blatant handball, Sanchez just took out Jones but the penalty was somehow overturned which made no sense, Salah had a strong penalty claim, even got fouled prior to that and nothing was given, plus every 50/50 challenge went in Chelsea's favor, so massive credit to Liverpool for still winning the game despite playing against the officials too

There's never been a doubt around Curtis in terms of talent. But he simply has to stay fit, and we've been saying this for a long time. Curtis is not inconsistent, but for some reason whenever he's out injured it takes him about 5-6 games to get his mojo back then just as he's stamping his place on the team he picks up a knock. Rinse repeat. Some players who suffer from injury issues come back like they never left (Jota?), but for Curtis that period of match fitness / confidence or whatever it is just seems to be a bit bigger. He's a fucking baller when he gets going though.

in the chealse vs liverpool (jota vs tsion) the next defender was around, Colwill. for me, look where the ball was played. the jota ball was close to both of them. the Saliba one was on the attacker side and the attacker was in a great position to go 1v1 given Saliba was nowhere near the ball. plus it was close to the goal technically speaking. as LFC fan i was furious at the ref, but it was the right call. the major decisions ( sancho penalty, the overturned ones) were correct in that game. it just the 50/50 ones the ref got wrong. the salah pen call is actually a bad referring

[@davecrawley4634]

Ben White was 29 yards away. Colwill was 5 yards away. The ball was on the halfway line against Chelsea, was 10 yards further against Bournemouth. The ball was heading to the corner flag v Chelsea. Heading to goal v Bournemouth

Curtis Jones is boss

[@thensocial3603]

Considering how bad the refereeing was, big win for liverpool, really showed character despite having to deal with those poor decisions.

[@onlythetruthformeandyou]

Slot probably knew Chelsea had much more pace, so he sat back and narrow and invited Chelsea in and hit it long, which troubled their backline alot. Hence, it looks like Chelsea dominated, but Liverpool ended with more critical chances.

By any chance Adam is it possible to show average position maps when teams are in possession and when they're out of possession? The overall average position map doesn't properly show players that play completely different positions in defence and attack

I don't go to matches but I've always liked Curtis Jones

[@timc9299]

Any chance of covering Raphinha and how he's evolved from Leeds to scoring a hat trick against Bayern?
