Liverpool Under-21’s Boss Barry Lewtas Lays Critics On Midfielder Curtis Jones Amid His Return To Action

Curtis Jones who is been outstanding for the reds since his debut match versus Aston Villa in 2018/19 season and have as well won several trophies with the club where he’s played some crucial part.

The Young England International is definitely a good squad player where he helped the team whenever he’s called upon by the manager.

Barry Lewtas speaking on Curtis Jones’ Under-21’s appearance against Tottenham acknowledging his willingness to play for the team.

“It’s just to give him more minutes. Curt’s been unbelievably unfortunate with injuries. Sometimes this is just a really good opportunity for him to get a shirt on.”

“There’s nothing like a game. It’s not Anfield, but putting the kit on and playing against people who want to tackle you, chase you and there’s something on it – you can’t replicate that sometimes.”

“For Curt, he was always only going to get 45 minutes. It was a really good chance for him to run around and blow some of the cobwebs off. Oh he is [a cut above] and he wasn’t the oldest player out there either. That goes to show the level of where he is.”

“He’s definitely fled the nest from us but one thing we are able to do here is we do try and replicate the way the first team play. So the beauty is, if someone needs minutes, they can drop in and the shape’s the same, the ideas are the same.”

Liverpool Boss, Jurgen Klopp was also present during the under-21 game to watch some of his players and other young talents play the game.

Some senior players like Fabio Carvalho, Calvin Ramsay, Ben Doak and Curtis Jones as they hope to play more game time and gain match fitness.
