Curtis Jones has produced an emotional response to Liverpool’s latest shocking defeat, perhaps even hinting at problems within the squad.
The Reds were beyond unacceptable on Wednesday evening, being thumped 4-1 at Anfield by PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
The second half performance was particularly bad, having drawn level before half-time, with no response to going back behind in the game.
Jones was clearly hurting after the game, telling CBS Sports [via This Is Anfield] that Liverpool are simply not good enough in various facets of their game:
“I don’t have the answers. I’m the same as everybody else. Just unacceptable if I’m honest. I don’t even have the words. I’m past being angry and sad. I’m at the point now where I don’t even at the words.
“It’s hard to actually find the words. I’m playing from a player and a fan, and I’m seeing it like this. For a long, long time, I haven’t experienced a team playing this bad and results like this, but at the end of the day we’ve still got that badge on our chest.
“So until that badge goes, we’re always gonna fight and try to get this team back to where it needs to be and show the whole world why Liverpool is the best team in the world.“But as of now, yeah, we’re in the s*** and it needs to change.”
“Just be a dog out there… It's got to be on me and the lads to turn this around and not be so nice.”

Is there a divide in the Liverpool dressing room?
It is clear that Jones is hurting deeply over Liverpool’s current plight, especially because he is a boyhood Reds supporter who may even care more than others.
While he doesn’t say out loud that there are dressing room issues, the fact that he is calling out the team’s work ethic suggests that he isn’t happy with what is going on around him.
Whether Arne Slot has lost the dressing room is up for debate, but it is clear that things are badly wrong, from effort levels to confidence, and drastic improvements are needed at West Ham on Sunday.
Jones may not be at his best, but he continues to give his all, as does Dominik Szoboszlai, but too many others could take a leaf out of their book and work far harder, including some Liverpool legends.
