      I think he will pose a problem for the boss this season.

      Great to have those headaches as a manager though.

      Although all of them will be behind our #6 in the pecking order. ;)

      He neefs to stay grounded. Be willing to play a bit part and learn from some top players sround him. If he does that its scary where he can go.

      Worst thing that will happen is England call him up it gets in his head then that he needs to plsy every week to make England, his head goes and hes off.

      Needs good people around him outside of the club I think in the coming months

      Well it keeps being said but Ive yet to see anyone tell them they wont be taking up the offer.

      Trent looks content. Stevie loved it. Former red Conor Coady looked well pleased with himself last week.

      If hes called up hell go and why not. What Im saying is he needs to stay level headed if he does. And not be left to think to continue being called up he has too move to play regularly.

      England cant help themselves when they see anything that looksl like they might be the one if they are 16 17 18 doesnt matter

      I'm not suggesting he'll refuse to play for England but I'd be very surprised if he thought it was the be all and end all, especially if he's playing for his local team who are challenging for leagues and European Cups. Can't see him wanting to trade all of that in due to fear of missing out on Nations League matches against the likes of Iceland

      One for rotation and for the future too.

      He needs to learn and continue to grow and improve.

      Pretty sure I didn't say that.

      But in many games he'd play the Keita role for me and to be honest I'd have no worries whatsoever even if he was picked ahead of Keita for more 'important' games.

      Not saying he will or that he's ahead of Keita but he's that good that I wouldn't worry if he was selected

      Yes you sounded as clear as crystal. I'm sure Keita isn't perfect. And when Keita is *cough* rotated *cough*. That's when Jones can step up.

      Not sure if I'd have him above Keita, but as srslfc said I wouldn't be at all bothered if Klopp gave him the nod ahead of him.

      When he came off the bench in the first game it showed to me Klopp has some trust in his ability as the result was far from secure but given what we seen from that game and the showing he put in last night that Jones shown Klopp he is ready for more.

      Gonna be a tricky one to manage because he appears to be one that will benefit more from time with the senior team than playing with any youth setup or loaned to a championship side. Gonna be a pivotal year for him, hope he can keep his head and see where he can go if he's just a tad patient.

      Really impressed with how Jones has come on, very confident on the ball for a young lad, good touch/skill, and has goals in him.
      Work rate is improving, maybe still has a little bit of work to do without the ball, but get the impression Jürgen likes him, and will get more chance to contribute this year. Seems to be ahead of the likes of Shaq, and possibly even AOC.

      He definitely has a bright future here. Probably the reason Gini would be allowed to leave on a free next year without a replacement (which won't go well with the net-spenders) as he's nearing the point where we need to make more of a permanent spot for him.

      I actually like that saying. He's not reached the pot of gold yet though.

      Not yet mate but he certainly does not look out of place on the pitch.

      Exciting future ahead.

      oh so you'd have Jones starting ahead of Keita, really?
      Don't get me wrong the lad has tonnes of potential but he's still raw, as you say he'll get plenty of chances this season.

      I don’t think it’s ridiculous to consider that Jones could overtake Keita by the end of this season. I am beginning to have doubts about Keita, he is clearly a talented player but he hasn’t progressed the way I had hoped and I always feel our midfield is softer when he plays, the opposition are able to get at us. Jones has just as much goal threat and he is now playing with a swagger and confidence that we haven’t yet seen from Keita. He has also gotten bigger and stronger. It’s really exciting to see his talent starting to blossom like this.

      Yeah I agree, early days but pressing all the right buttons so far. Like with all young players it's a question if they train on. That's the $64,000 question. Certainly doesn't look out of touch for a 19 year old.

      He also has the right person in Jürgen looking after him.
