The ECHO's end-of-season ratings continue with an assessment of the frustrating campaign experienced by Curtis Jones
The last fortnight has essentially been the season in microcosm for Curtis Jones , with huge encouragement ultimately ending in disappointment, albeit with the obvious potential of better days on the horizon.
Nevertheless, Jones was given a rousing message by Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate in an individual chat during which he was told he had made great strides within the group and would be called upon again in the not-so-distant future.Cody GakpoAnd that, in many ways, echoes the midfielder's campaign with Liverpool, which was ultimately hampered by untimely suspension and injury just as momentum was being gathered.
An ankle injury in the opening weeks, a contentious red card at Tottenham Hotspur and a thigh problem combined to ensure Jones had started just four Premier League games by the time Arsenal visited two days before Christmas. The tide, though, had already started to turn, with a brace of goals in the League Cup romp over West Ham United earlier in the week having previously been named captain in the Europa League dead rubber at Union Saint-Gilloise.
