Speaking to The Anfield Wrap in 2024, he said: "Curtis is more talented than me in terms of technical, in terms of dribbling ability, in terms of manipulating the ball, close control."On his time working with Jones as coach of the under-18s, Gerrard added: "He felt he was more than ready [to break through]. The academy felt he was ready and the first team were probably thinking, 'Yeah, he's ready to come and be a part of it,' but also to drop in and out."Every time Curtis played for me against Everton and Manchester United, he was the man of the match in every single game.

The new manager said: "For me, he is a great, great player and I hope he can continue with us and continue performing the way he has been performing."It’s very important that he's Scouse, that he's from here. From the outside at least he looks like a player with good character and I hope we can keep him, not only for this year but for more time."Despite the warmth of those words, Jones could soon be making a fresh start elsewhere.Buy Blood Red, our monthly Liverpool FC print publication for just £3.50 by clicking hereThousands of Liverpool fans upgraded their matchday last season.
