That boy Brazilian or Spanish.”A fifth explained: “I have been very, very critical of Curtis Jones in the past.
A composed midfielder.”“Curtis Jones turned into Ronaldinho,” suggested another, and an eighth wrote: “Curtis Jones is better than Bellingham, but people aren’t ready for this argument.”Jones shone against Leeds despite the troubling scoreline and was similarly impressive against Inter Milan alongside Ryan Gravenberch in midweek.Since he has come into the starting eleven, Liverpool have looked so much more solid, and his connection with both Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz has been a joy to watch.As a result, it came as little surprise to see supporters praising the Englishman on social media during and after the game.Against Brighton, Jones had a 94% passing accuracy on the day, completed all but one of his dribbles, and won eight ground duels.
