      Good kid who has shown he can overcome adversity. Seems to have thick skin and is willing to do the hard work behind the scenes to prove us wrong. Also seems to be Liverpool through and through. Who knows, maybe we will singing "the scouser in the team" for him next season

      Has been good this season with a lot more consistency but he still has not got rid of that awful habit of holding onto the ball way too long, really exposed him today as it meant Mainoo had time to get to him and generally outmuscle him off the ball.

      Something he should work on if he wants to get to the next level.

      He’s a scouser, I get it but people blatantly lie when they say he’s been really good, they want him to be that player but he simply isn’t.

      The reason is simple, he has one good game in 3 most of the time and that’s it. He was destroyed today by Maino, really shown up imo

      Still, he’s proved me wrong, I thought he should be sold and he was good enough for the championship at best, but for me he’s good enough as a squad player but should be our 5th choice cm. Keep him but he shouldn’t be used in big games most of the time

      Dom is the starter. Thought we wouldn't miss him as much today being at home, but we did.

      Mac, Grav and Dom. That's the three. As you say Curtis, while a huge talent, still has maturing to do.

      Blows hot and cold but doesn't seem to be the player for when things are competitive in the midfield. As noted on this thread, his reasoning for holding onto the ball for 3-4 seconds too long is bizarre. There is absolutely no reason for him to hold onto it.

      Should Arne trust Harvey in the midfield more?

      I don't want him used as a back up to the forward line.

      He's got good creativity in the midfield but not enough pace for a front position.

      Arne needs to use the squad. Thought Harvey would have been perfect earlier on than when he came on with Curtis coming off.

      Curtis think he’s better with the ball at his feet than he is. Needs to use his teammates more. He holds the ball way too long sometimes and is easily displaced.

      Far to inconsistent to merit a starting position, has one good game followed by so many poor games

      Nothing we didn’t already know. He has these games where he’s a total passenger.

      He is what he is, a good squad player but will never be great.

      Nowhere near good enough. But it seems Arne thinks he is the best of the rest. 2 big games back to back and just has not turned up.

      Scapegoat time

      Hopefully you will highlight the poor performances from a number of players tonight

      I know a lot of people like him and rate him but he’s just not for me.

      Can have some really good games but they are surrounded by too many poor ones where he either goes missing or goes back to taking ten touches when two will do.

      Plays well when everyone around him plays well. Doesn't grab the game by the scruff of the neck. An almost luxury player you could say....

      Back to back games he's ghosted in.

      Decent squad player and nothing more.

      5 years later and he's still caught up in the same bad habits that infuriates us all, enough chances now - maybe time in the summer to evaluate his future and cash in while his value is still modest. Give Harvey a go Arne.

      He has some priceless rare attributes every great midfielder has.

      Unpredictable
      Capability to destroy a play

      Sadly CJ use those abilities against his teammates, not his opposition.

      In a game when he deliver nothing benefit to the team like last night and we are short of option if it's me I would play Trent in Jones's position I confident it cannot be worse.

      Slot has asked him to get into the box more.

      The one time he does, in the last minute of the game, he gets kicked from behind in the calf, goes down and the c**t ref says play on and the c**t commentator says, he only had his hands in Jones back, wasn’t enough for him to go down like that!

      OMFG Var didn’t even check it!


      Robbed again.

      Oh and I’m in the how the F**k does he continually get a game, gang!

      I'm in the Arne Slot knows a lot more than you soft cu*ts and works with him every day, so what are we actually paying Slot for, FSG could do it cheaper if they employed some of the world class managers off here!!!

      Even the best coaches out there get tactics/selections wrong, it doesn't matter how much more Arne knows than us, yeah - no sh*t he knows more....Jones was still sh*t, and we as fans are perfectly entitled to say Jones was sh*t, like he was against Utd.
