Jones filled in for the injured Dutchman on Wednesday evening as he produced one of the best performances from a Liverpool player this season. Jones was played outside of his usual position for Liverpool and, to be honest, he thrived.However, since Gravenberch is one of the Premier League’s best defensive midfielders, it doesn’t feel like the midfielder will keep his place for long.

Arne Slot chose to play Curtis Jones deeper for Liverpool, and it worked brilliantlyEveryone knows how much talent Jones has, with former Red Phil Thompson even dubbing him “fantastic.”However, due to how much talent Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Florian Wirtz all have, he’s hardly had a chance to prove his worth.

In Jones’ case, however, not only do they prove how much ground he covered, but they also show how good a performance he actually put in against Frankfurt on Wednesday. As per Sofascore, Jones played the full 90 minutes; he had 139 touches of the ball, and he even maintained a pass accuracy of 96 per cent.
