He's made a number of passes that many in the team just are not capable of making.Jones has also improved tactically, occupying the right areas and becoming an important player off the ball as well as on it. He has a tendency to be a little careless in attacks, while also at times being too safe with the ball.Jones struggled for minutes under Arne Slot(Image: Getty Images)His biggest issue, though, has been the same since he made his debut in 2018... he just takes far too long on the ball.

This is a criticism that Jamie Carragher has had of the midfielder.In January 2025, he said: “I thought Curtis Jones was poor, and the one negative about Curtis Jones as a player when he’s not playing well is he holds on to the ball too much. He’s got that football arrogance, which is something you want, but he’s at his best when he plays two-touch, he moves it quickly and he presses.“He’s not a superstar in terms of beating players and clever passes.

He just moves it on quickly and he presses, he’s energetic. But Jones is entering his peak years, and unless he's able to prove to Iraola that he's worthy of starting above a Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, or a new signing, it's not unlikely that his playing time diminishes even further this upcoming season.
