Jones, 21, has established himself as a squad member for the Reds since making his senior team debut in January 2019. He has helped his boyhood club lift five trophies so far under manager Jurgen Klopp.
A right-footed versatile operator blessed with flair and passing, Jones has failed to realize his potential due to a host of injuries over the years. After recovering from a tibia issue earlier in October, he has featured in 300 minutes of first-team action, spread across nine overall matches.
Speaking on Off The Ball, Lawrenson hit out at Jones’ decision-making while sharing his thoughts on Liverpool’s midfield problems. He said:
Jones, who has been with the Reds since the age of nine, has fallen behind in the pecking order at Anfield of late. Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic have impressed with their confident performances in the center of the park this term, forcing Jones to be used as a backup left winger.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are planning to revamp their midfield ahead of the 2023-24 season with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Moises Caicedo, Matheus Nunes and Declan Rice at the top of their transfer wishlist.
