Arne Slot Backs Curtis Jones’ Right-Back Switch

Strong displays at right-back give Liverpool a short-term fix at a thin position.

Overview

Arne Slot said Friday that Curtis Jones has handled a surprise right-back role very well, though not perfectly.
Liverpool turned to him because Conor Bradley is out for the season and Jeremie Frimpong has had injury trouble.
He is expected to start there against Manchester United this weekend after composed outings versus Everton and Crystal Palace.
He won possession 16 times against Everton, the highest single-game total by any Premier League player this season.
His performances come as his deal enters its final 12 months, with Inter, Tottenham and Aston Villa reported to be monitoring him.
