If we offer him a new contract i'll be devastated, just let him walk in the summer, for the love of god, please...
 
If he wasn't so shit, he wouldn't have needed to make that last ditch tackle !

Get rid of this clown ASAP.

It just sums him up in a few seconds. Great tackle, but only having to make it because he screwed up. Guess at least he didnt need to dive and head the ball an inch off the ground.
 
He's played well before today but with Jones you just know a full on calamitous mistake like that is inevitable every 2 or 3 games. Not good enough and should be sold this summer.
 
Just no. He’s been here since 2011. Ive somehow managed to lose my virginity in that time yet we’re still debating whether Jones is good enough.
 
Car crash in the first half, no awareness at all at times, made Lindelof's job harder IMO. People shit on Smalling on here a lot but he's the better of the 2 upstairs.

= Bailly = Rojo = not good enough.

Agreed, not a brain cell between the 3 of them.
 
Mental how some on here rate him.

We’d piss ourselves laughing if someone as comical as him played for Liverpool.

Half expected him to give away a pen when he miscontrolled the ball and set up Rondon.
 
Heart in mouth stuff with the Rondon thing. I was fully expecting the penalty to be awarded. Anyone quicker than Rondon and that would've been a penalty.
 
Shocking first 20 then I barely even noticed he was in the game and I can’t decide if that is a good or bad thing because it sort of became the Lindelof show.
 
Th at botch aside, I thought he did a better job than Bailley the other night. Until Smalling gets fit or we bring in a new player, his partnership with Lindelof is our best option I believe

No future at the club for me though, injury record is just too bad. Sad that we have 2, likely to be 3 senior CBs that need to be moved on at the earliest opportunity (Rojo, with a big question mark over Bailley).
 
He's an odd one. When we are on the front foot and he is given the ball, he usually finds his teammates well and has the ability to play out from the back - even in the opposition half. Press him, and his abilities go to pieces. People complain about Smalling's ball playing deficiencies, but I can't remember many times Smalling has given the ball away like Jones did yesterday. He's a liability. A better and quicker striker and it would most likely have been a goal. Have to give him some credit for a great recovery though, and a decent match after that.
 
How can you be this erratic and unconfident in possession in a team this good? Seriously his own goal a few games ago was just him being an absolute amateur and not taking the ball on with the outside of his foot to keep possession instead of slotting it nicely into our own net. Today he collapsed mentally like some Sunday league nut head playing CB who has no technical ability to control a football.

How is he playing football at this level? Not only because of his horrendous technical ability and potato brain but also because of his lack of natural athleticism. This guy can’t even stay fit for more than 5 games a season
 
He is not quite on form yet. An in form Jones is actually a decent CB. Needs fitness/a run of games.
 
I don't get when people say "apart from his brain farts", he's good etc. He's a CB. His brain farts almost always lead to clear cut chances. If Rondon was slightly faster, we are down to ten men and a penalty to contend with.
The game would have been over before we had a chance to settle.
His been at the club forb8 years and he's not going to magically become reliable. Do not extend his contract.
 
He's crap and I'm sick of that being hidden behind a bullshit veil of "if he was fit...". In September we'll have kept this waster for 8 years. 8 fecking years. How much longer do we need to establish he's a waste of space and replace him with a competent defender who isn't constantly injured.
 
Think he needs to move on in Summer. Crazy hes still only 26. But I think this is gonna be Jones, too much last ditch stuff due to his own mistakes. Its pretty much the way he gave away the penalty in the cup final.
 
Wasn't just the chance to Rondon. He had one where he headed it down straight to a Newcastle players feet with no pressure, 10 yards from our box. Luckily, they were too shit to punish him. He really is terrible. Can't go a game without a chance gifting error. Can't wait to have Smalling back. Now Lindelof is playing well, we have a decent pairing.
 
Blind is better than all three but Jose sold him because height.

It's staggering that of all our centre backs Blind was the one we got rid of. Not Jones or Rojo but Blind?!?

He'd be a good fit for the football we play under Ole now too.

As for Jones, we all know the comedy own goal or awful tackle giving away a penalty is coming soon. Probably against Spurs.
 
Currently see him as our worst CB.

Poor decisions in a pretty easy game for him. What is most worrying, after the first mistke he was visibly rattled and lost all confidence. Against top clubs, if we go under pressure, you just feel there are mistakes in him.

Next time Bailly or Rojo plays, you'll see he's not the worst. Still, that doesnt mean he is good
 
I've noticed that when Jones is injured a lot of people post 'he's our best centre back when fit' but when he's fit and in the team those people vanish.
 
Awful player, but no doubt he'll string together a couple of decent games against relegation fodder when our defence are hardly tested and again become touted as a great defender who simply can't stay fit.
 
In the first half the ball fell out the sky and HIT HIM IN THE FACE.

He didn't head it, he didn't control it, it purely hit him in the face. He just stood there starring at it, watching it fall :lol:
