It was all the way back in November when Curtis Jones fronted up to the cameras after Liverpool’s 4-1 battering against PSV Eindhoven.Having suffered back-to-back three-goal defeats at Anfield, Jones was angry, and claimed that he and his Reds teammates would fight tooth and nail to turn things around.Although his speech went down well within the fanbase five months ago, Jones has simply not backed his words up, with Saturday’s thrashing at the hands of Manchester City showing just how disconnected his words are from the reality of his Liverpool performances.
