Only Jude Bellingham beats Liverpool ace as national media see what Arne Slot does

While he didn't like he did against Greece last week, midfielder did still impress for England once more in the UEFA Nations League, this time against and Ireland.

Jones kept things ticking over in the center of the field and was always available for his teammates. He played a more defensive role than he often does for but has the skillset to play in any midfield position.

We've on Jones' performance. Once again, he looked like he had been playing at senior level for England for years — and Thomas Tuchel should certainly take note.

- 7/10 rating: "So often does the Liverpool man do the simple things right, it’s easy for him to go overlooked when compared to the other big names in the side. But given England’s travails in midfield at the summer’s , Jones could find plenty of success in the team going forward."

- 6/10 rating: "Always industrious and neat, but couldn’t really have much influence or impact on the game. Didn’t have much to do defensively and largely just had to give it to the more creative players."

- 7/10: "Has played so well over these two games — his first two for his country. Kept things ticking over in midfield."

- 7/10: "Not the dynamic showing of his debut in Greece but some nice moments and a more disciplined display. A very good introduction this week."

Only scored higher than Jones in the ratings, meanwhile, which are averages of what fans have voted for. Harry Kane, probably rightly, was at the bottom of the rankings.

Club boss Slot has been impressed with Jones' form lately too. "You never know if that plays a part or not but since the moment he became a father he started putting in great performances!" he said before the international break.

"He already did this in the first few weeks that we worked together in pre-season — I was like ‘wow, quality player’ — but then his performances dropped. But since the moment he became a father he was outstanding again. I think it might have to do with that a bit, but in general it has to do with how the team plays."

Jones played 79 minutes and only gave the ball away three times in that period. Only Bellingham and the two England full-backs, Newcastle United duo Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento, had more touches.

Doing exactly what he does for Liverpool — offering balance in midfield which often goes unnoticed — it was an impressive showing from Jones. Stay fit, and he .
