It isn’t the most infamous interview a Liverpool player has conducted after a match of late. Not any more, anyway. But after PSV Eindhoven won 4-1 to inflict Liverpool’s joint-heaviest European defeat at Anfield and take their run to nine losses in 12 games, Curtis Jones declared that they were “in the s**t”.
Two weeks on, with no more losses but one notable exile from the squad, Jones felt it was too soon to say they are out of the brown stuff now. “The last one [at Leeds], we were 2-0 up and we drew the game,” he said, continuing his habit of plain speaking. “There were fans there that probably thought we were still in the s**t.”
