Klopp wants to immortalise Jones on Liverpool 'academy walls' after Burnley right-back masterclass

Curtis Jones played as emergency right-back in the second half against Burnley after Trent Alexander-Arnold was withdrawn with a knock.

The 23-year-old did extremely well in an unfamiliar position, causing Jurgen Klopp to recall the joke he made earlier this season.

“Now, definitely, on the wall in the academy, we will draw if ‘Curtis Jones can learn defending, anyone can learn defending’,” the Liverpool head coach told NBC Sports. “He did incredibly well there.

“We told Curtis what he had to do and we changed formation slightly and tried to make it as simple as possible for him.

“It was first time in the life he has played the position and we didn’t want him to be the inverted right-back and have to think about these things as well.”
