Analysing how the presence of Curtis Jones and Luis Diaz has allowed Liverpool to control and manage games better during the season’s run-in… THERE is a very strong argument to say that had Curtis Jones and Luis Diaz been fit for most of this season, The Reds would have top four secured by this point. Aston Villa away last season was the last time that the two players started together since Diaz returned from his injury. Jones’ only start before Chelsea was against Nottingham Forest, 300 years ago.

I mean, it’s much easier to control a game when Curtis Jones puts you 2-0 up with two superb finishes.



But it’s no coincidence that The Reds didn’t control the game as well with those players not performing to their usual standards. Players still need to be brought in, of course, but it’s fair to say it’s no coincidence that Diaz and Jones coming in has led to greater control in games.
