“I had a long talk last week with Curtis,” said Klopp ahead of the visit of Brentford, against whom Jones scored his only goal of the season back in September.
“I love the boy and the potential he has but we have to come to the next steps now and make sure he fulfils the potential he has on the pitch very often.
“You have these kind of conversations when you are not 100 per cent happy with the moment.
“He is very young but his potential is incredible and we both together have to find a way to show much more of him.
“It’s an ongoing process with Curtis and me but I know he he had a tricky time a long time out with the eye and then after that Covid which was not helpful.
“But now we try to make sure he gets rhythm and can show how good he can actually be.”
Just reading this from Jürgen on Jones, hadn't heard them before.
Not sure what he meant by the not 100% happy comments, but I guess bottom line must be he expects more.
He has a lot of potential, and imho should be starting matches right now with Thiago and Elliot out.
Gonna be a bit harder for him when they come back, but that could be a while yet.
