"I want to be in centre midfield, and I know that I'm good enough and I 'should' be playing there, but it's all about the team and that's what you have to put first."Although I'm a full-back now at the minute, I'm playing inside as well, so I'm still getting a chance to get in the box and a chance to go and score and assist and things like that."I wouldn't say that I'm a defender. I just enjoy playing.

If I'm as a right-back, if I'm a centre-back, or if I'm a striker, I just want to go and play."I am fortunate enough to have a quality that I'm comfortable on the ball and I'm confident in my own abilities."Jones has appeared in 47 out of 54 games for Liverpool so far this season, with his tally of 2,670 minutes the highest of his Reds career.However, only 26 outings have been as a starter while his total of two strikes and three assists represents the second-lowest number of goal contributions in a single campaign since becoming a regular in 2020/21."It's been up and down and I think that's been the whole of the team," said Jones. "I've played a lot of games."Although I would like to play in centre midfield and have that spot as mine, I've got to appreciate the lads around me and their abilities as well."The stats there, I think they speak for themselves.

There's been a number of times that I've been told that I stay on the ball a lot and things like that, but as everybody can see, I don't give the ball away at the same time."I think the important thing is to take that to the next step and try to score more and assist more."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE! If I look around and see the lads in our team and the ability there, I've got all the trust in the lads and myself as well to get it over the line."It's always going to be a hard game against them.
