Steven Gerrard has revealed he told Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to stick with creative midfielder Curtis Jones before he broke into the first team.
The former Rangers manager, who was a coach in the Premier League club's academy before heading to Ibrox, remembers speaking to the German boss about Jones' mentality as a Liverpool player. Jones has been a regular in Klopp's side in recent week which has coincided with a seven-match winning run, and eventually secured qualification for the Europa League next season at Anfield.
The 22-year-old has been the creative spark in recent weeks and bagged two goals against Leicester City last Monday to round off an impressive end to the season in red. Jones has suffered a number of injuries in the last two seasons which has curtailed his game time, and even led to the medical staff restricting how many minutes he could play. Despite the ups and downs Gerrard told Klopp that Jones was one to stick with.
