Liverpool Reaction to Changes Speaks Volumes as Curtis Jones Makes Revenge Claim - 'I'd Never Say'

Curtis Jones, Liverpool's rising midfield star, has become a key figure amid the club's transitional phase under manager Arne Slot. The 24-year-old has seized opportunities to restore balance in the Reds' midfield, impressing with consistent performances that highlight his growing importance[2].



Jones showcased his composure in a tough away win at Brentford, completing 97% of 75 passes in 70 minutes and leading the match with three dribbles before an injury sidelined him. He stepped up again at Elland Road when Alexis Mac Allister was unavailable, providing vital control despite Liverpool squandering leads. Recording 66 passes at 89% accuracy, he completed all dribbles, 75% of long passes, and won 80% of duels, steadying the team[2].

Against Brighton, Jones featured in his 200th appearance for his boyhood club—the youngest midfielder since Steven Gerrard to reach the milestone. He excelled with 92% pass accuracy (72/78), four dribbles, and winning eight of 12 duels, securing a 2-0 victory and extending Liverpool's unbeaten run to five matches[2].

His vocal leadership shone after a recent setback, urging: "We're in s*** now, it needs to change. We have that on our shoulders. Until it goes, we're gonna fight and try to get this team to where it needs to. Show why we are the best team in the world." With 18 months left on his contract, Jones is playing for his future, and his form positions him for a new deal[2].

The article underscores how Liverpool's reaction to Slot's changes "speaks volumes," with Jones embodying resilience. He hinted at Arsenal's mindset ahead of their Premier League clash, claiming insight into their behind-the-scenes thoughts and suggesting they seek revenge on Liverpool. "I'd never say" it outright, Jones teased, fueling anticipation for the fixture[1].
