  1. Really wonder what’s going on with Jones at this point

    Only started 1 game in nearly a month and he’s not been getting many minutes off the bench either

  2. Jones needs to be starting more ffs. When we lack control of the midfield he’s the best at actually keeping the ball

  3. KingoftheDrinks on

    Idk what Jones did to lose the trust of Slot. Gravenberch and Macca have been inconsistent at best for the last month and Curtis cant sniff the starting 11

  4. Jones got a lot of game time. Then suddenly Slot stopped playing him. He was willing to leave in January. And now Endo seems to be more important than him.

    Something is going on…

  5. 6 different right backs played with Mo in this season, Mo played with 4-5 right backs in last 8 years.

  6. GameOfThrowInsMate on

    Getting to the point where I don’t care what team he picks anymore. I have no faith in Slot.

  7. Let’s just run Mac and Grav into the ground and then cry about injuries and a lack of depth. Utter clown.

  8. I’ve never been Jones biggest fan over the past few seasons (not to say I don’t rate him, but there are aspects of his game that could improve), but the fact he can’t get a start when he’s having one of his better seasons and has shown can play at RB, is definitely worrying (and pretty much confirms he’s fallen out with Slot). 

  9. I am not even a big Jones fan, but fuck me was him starting seemed like an obvious lock. I imagined even Chiesa in as well. Macca and Gakpo should be benched for those two with fresh legs.

    Just incredible how poor Slots man management is. Watch his first sub be 70+ mins in.

  10. I think this thing with Jones is a broader situation than just Slot doesn’t fancy him or he and Slot had a falling out.  I think Slot is in lockstep with an FSG that’s never really seemed to value Jones as much more than a squad player who’s “happy to be there,” because he’s a kid from Liverpool.  They don’t see him as the CM Mac Allister and Gravenberch are, they don’t see him as the AM/mezzala Szobo is.  I disagree with that sentiment, but I highly doubt they’re looking to put him on or near their wage level.  Unfortunately feels more and more likely he’s leaving this summer

  11. I swear if Slot freezes out/pushes out Jones for no reason I’ll never watch another match he’s in charge for. And these quotes coming out make him look like a complete dickhead

  12. Jones not starting again, The Landlord starting again, kill me off this is going to be painful
