Unplayable: Liverpool’s 75-touch metronome quietly ran the show vs Bournemouth

Posted by

Another hour of action in the bank for Curtis Jones in what was a particularly assured performance in the middle of the park.

The Scouse Academy graduate excelled as the Reds’ metronome in the midfield, registering 75 touches and completing a whopping 93% of his passes (56/60), according to stats compiled by Sofascore.

The Merseysiders secured passage through to the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup, courtesy of a 2-1 win over the Cherries.

What a turnaround in midfield

Just to think that a few months ago there were some very real, very genuine concerns over the quality of our midfield department.

Get past Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch – all signed this summer by the way – and Jurgen Klopp can still call upon Jones, Harvey Elliott, Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo and Thiago Alcantara (when back from injury).

It’s a selection for now and the future – an ideal blend of potential and quality that we should reap the rewards of for the foreseeable future.

What a time to be a Liverpool fan!

  1. You been watching a different game to me ,he was absolute rubbish & it’s time people like you stopped making out he’s something he’s not

    1. Its all about perception, i think Curtis had a superb game. Give the lad a break he”s finding his best place in the team. The stats dont lie, sometimes what you beleive is not always true YNWA

  3. Unfortunately Elliot, McAllister and Jones aren’t good enough, and would struggle to get into even Man Uniteds midfield
