9Game over for Curtis Jones as three clubs circle England midfielder
Jones dropped for big game once again
Therefore the City game at Anfield was a big test for Slot in relation to his use of Jones. Of course he opted to use the homegrown player only from the bench – offering him the last few minutes of the controversial 2-1 defeat.
That will be a source of huge disappointment for Jones – whose contract expires in less than 18 months. Liverpool showed signs of being ready to cash in on Jones in the January window – listening to interest from Tottenham and Inter Milan.
And if no new deal is signed – particularly before the summer – then we could seehis long-term future come under scrutiny once again.
