When Liverpool defeated Leicester City in the Carabao Cup, Curtis Jones had to play right defender.
Curtis Jones has always been a “potential solution,” according to Jurgen Klopp, for Liverpool’s right-back position.
In the Reds’ 3-1 triumph over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup third round last night, the academy product was used as a temporary defender. Trent Alexander-Arnold is still recovering from a hamstring injury, while Joe Gomez is also not available, leaving Klopp with little options.
After recently recuperating from a chronic adductor issue, Stefan Bajcetic played in the position during last week’s victory against LASK in the Europa League, but his playing time is still restricted.
Stefan couldn’t be played for very long; we need to be cautious about him. Joey wasn’t okay for today but will be OK for the weekend. Trent believes it is too soon. Therefore, I wanted to find solutions, and Curtis was constantly a thought that came to mind as one. He adores being on the ball and is really football smart. The deeper you are, the more often you can get the ball.
I must admit that it was a terrific performance for him in a novel situation. I was very impressed by how well he performed. He is in a terrific spot right now, therefore he could probably play any position. However, we’ll try to use him.
