Don't think Jones was much worse than anyone else personally.
Jones tries to move it forward if it's on, but keeps it simple when it isn't. You could certainly argue that having him playing safe like that when on the same pitch as Wijnaldum (when both play below their best) means we lack something in terms of progressing the ball forward, but I really don't think Jones was terrible.
Uninspired today, sure - but not terrible - and to be fair when you look at his age and the length of his footballing career compared to our other players today he arguably has a bigger excuse than most.
Jones is going to be a top player for us.
Not good today but he played very well against City Leipzig and Leicester.
He is not a player im worried about at all.
Kinda remember why I stopped coming on here. Fuk me pink.
Indeed. Days like today where he isn't great are a natural part of his development. He has been showing great signs. The current run is ruining us all. Football is meant to be the escapism from the drudgery and is currently just adding to it, so the lows so-to-speak feel much lower.
We were poor granted, but he is a kid who has attributes that we crave and need going forward. Occasions can overwhelm being local and having played well during the week it was gonna be a tough day ask for him. The slow start kinda set the trend.
That was a hell of a performance from him tonight, arguably the best individual performance of the season.
Can he back it up against City?
