Seriously needs to get a long run of games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurtis Jones must start every game,\u201d a second Liverpool fan demanded.<\/p>\n<p>Another tweeted: \u201cCurtis Jones breaking down Inter Milan\u2019s defence is pleasant on the eyes. I already mentioned long before that Jones had to start over Mac Allister.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A fourth added: \u201cCurtis Jones deserves to start from now on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurtis Jones has been playing well every time he\u2019s been on the pitch this season. Please start him regularly,\u201d stated a fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Another Liverpool fan added: \u201cJones has to start every game, the difference when he starts is actually insane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While a seventh was very clear in their view: \u201cDon\u2019t you understand? Jones HAS to start for Liverpool. Pivot, left wing, SS, whatever; he just gets it. The quintessential English midfielder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to argue with fan sentiment, given how well the Englishman has performed in the last few days.<\/p>\n<p>His continued inclusion would mean one of Liverpool\u2019s regular midfielders would need to be dropped, and given Wirtz has improved in recent weeks, it will likely be Mac Allister who is given a reduced role over the long term.<\/p>\n<p>  Join Our Newsletter <\/p>\n<p>Receive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool and Inter Milan played out a Champions League group game at the San Siro on December 9.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":436884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[46914,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-436883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-curtis-jones","9":"tag-soccer","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115693011287236147","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
