the reason Slobby is played and is not likely to get hooked in most games - is because despite is lack of actual game changing moments - he provides the energy and running cover that the midfield is clearly lacking in our other midfielders. Although I understand everyone's frustrations with him I can also see why the manager plays him regularly and is reluctant to take him off. I think Jones spent most of his energy by the time he was taken off yesterday being the most combative midfielder in yesterdays game.Jones was excellent in the cup game against West Ham and he did a lot of the things he did well in that game again. Taking the ball on the half-turn repeatedly in a very competitive midfield and then looking to do something positive. I was flabbergasted he got hooked instead of Slobby, who wasn't really doing a hell of a lot to justify staying on.
I had a bet on him to score and Konate to get booked and us to draw for big odds and glad I didn't pick up the £350 on the day.
I had Jones to score, Konate booking and Jota 2+ fouls…Jota’s injury cost me a fortune!!!Jones was excellent in the cup game against West Ham and he did a lot of the things he did well in that game again.

Konate booking is like free money.I had Jones to score, Konate booking and Jota 2+ fouls…Jota’s injury cost me a fortune!!!
He has been injured and only played 3 games. He has been MOM in two of those 3.Very good performance from Curtis and deserved motm, but a very good performance is all it will be if we’re waiting 3 months for the next star showing.
We’ll need to get Momo to confirm or deny.He has been injured and only played 3 games. He has been MOM in two of those 3.
He came third against West Ham. It’s too early to collate the inevitable Chelsea points.We’ll need to get Momo to confirm or deny.
If you’re referring to the cup game against West Ham, then on the 2nd half alone it’s valid to say but yesterday he showed up from minute 1 to the time he was subbed out and this is what we need more of from all the midfielders.
Whoever posted previously as @dantes is having fun posting with all these AI accountsThat AI is making me hate Chiesa
Well that's a bit cuntishWhoever posted previously as @dantes is having fun posting with all these AI accounts
Just being his usual impish self don't you knowWell that's a bit cuntish
Your boy Chiesa has to show he is not some cripple first, let him get past that first."Keeping up with the Jones" is a title thread that me thinks saw somewhere here.
ps WTF was he doing for that failed penalty? Why did he not touch the f. ball? The most f. ridiculous failed penalty attempt I ever saw. It would be hard to conceive a more ridiculous one.
pps Shit like that not happen in Italy. In Italy there is a super strong knowledge about how to act in a near-penalty situation. If Liverpool let Curtis Jones go I think no Italian clubs come after him. Chiesa and Szoboszlai are I think different matters. I think some Italian clubs watch very carefully what happen w Szoboszlai and Chiesa
Sure. But that would then also surely be the club's fault. He was very carefully evaluated. Passed the medical and all. In any case, the way it's been going I don't think he'll anyhow get much of a chance.Your boy Chiesa has to show he is not some cripple first, let him get past that first.
I am so happy at what Jones did, do you all think Slot will give him a start this Wednesday ? I cant wait to see him.play again, I just love that moment where he beats those three players, so good to watch .. so so good.
I just looked at the voting in that and was flabbergasted. I thought he was head and shoulders the player of the game. Neglected to vote myself though.He came third against West Ham. It’s too early to collate the inevitable Chelsea points.
My recollection of the game was he was poor until he got the goal and then relaxed more and improved.I just looked at the voting in that and was flabbergasted. I thought he was head and shoulders the player of the game. Neglected to vote myself though.
Your recollection was wrong though.My recollection of the game was he was poor until he got the goal and then relaxed more and improved.
