I keep forgetting I need that yard of space, my mind lives 20 years in the past as I move around the world like a man driving a bus but thinking he's driving a Fiat Panda.

A lot of people at the club says he's a confident chap so he just needs to keep performing like he has done at U23/youth level and carry that into his game
when playing for the first team.
He's obviously far too good to be playing at u23 level so now he needs to either be integrated with first team or seek a loan.

He just needs to score winners and he might be good enough
I get the impression he's a complete cunt. Then again maybe that just speaks to my experience of super confident jocks.. i.e. repeated pummelings.
Probably, but it seemed like Elliott was the designated PK taker and Jones took it from him. Hence the complaints from Elliott.
Wayne Rooney walked into Moyes office & literally demanded to play at the age of 16 cos he could see how much better he was than everyone else & had that belief.
Jones obv can't exactly demand like that cos he isn't better than the first team players, but he has that same belief, & I'm fucked if I'm gonna slag him off for it, cos the players that make it to the highest level need that in spades, even if it doesn't make them appear cocky as fuck, he's been asking klopp to play him in the first side all season.

* Knock on the door*
U23 player: "Gaffa, I demand a spot in the first team!"
Klopp: * Silence *
A day later:
Yeh I think he comes across as a bit of a bell.
Not that that is always a negative for a top athlete, but staying grounded seems to be a better way forward in general.
Just want to be clear.
We are calling him Cujo, right?

Just had a quick nosey and see that Bobby has not been included in the last two Fiorentina U19 games after slipping to a sub place in the game before.
Setting aside the curling one in to knock Everton out thing that may have slipped your mind... what he's good at is football. "Not particularly good at anything" but with technical ability, huge engine, and discipline, describes a Klopp midfielder. Add the fact that he currently plays in a more advanced role and scores goals, and you've got something worth exploring.
But, in this particular game, I was most impressed by his attitude. He seemed to understand exactly what he had to do in that match, i.e. provide leadership on the pitch. He wasn't trying to be showy, or make a headline, he showed a huge engine, good strength, and protected the left back a lot with exhausting tracking back, so that he was rarely exposed. He even did better with the PR shit at the end of the game.
He is one of the most Scouse people I have ever seen, which is a good 'something'
But I suppose we will only know if/ when he plays more games for us.
That's the most banal thing I've typed for a while, sorry
I think he was trying to do too much at times yesterday when there were players around him that he should have been aware of. I think he has many strings to his bow, and I know it's partly that he wants to be brave and take on responsibility (exacerbated no doubt by having the captaincy), but he will need to learn that sometimes less is more. I've seen this same trait in his play for the U23s. Don't get me wrong, this same trait will allow him to have extraordinary moments like the goal against Everton, but I'd like him to trust his companions more and not feel that he needs to be at the centre of everything.
I just don't see it. He is nowhere near the level of any of our midfielders. The closest thing I see him becoming is Andreas Pereira unfortunately. One paced, runs around alot, committed, neat and tidy but lacking in creativity, lacking in defensive strength, basically a decent player in a mid table team.
This isn't the Mo Salah thread 😉
I agree, he played like douche yesterday. Nice tricks here and there but didn't trust his teammates, held on to the ball for too long and slowed us down at times. Quite the diva imo.
Hudson-Odoi is where the bar is imo and Jones isn't even close atm.
