I'm definitely a fan of Curtis. He's been terribly unfortunate with a couple of freak injuries. It's not only the nature of the injuries, but the timing of them that has sucked. Add to that that now he's finally getting a run, there's a world cup only a couple of weeks away and I think he's entitled to feel a little hard done by. The only thing I'm not sure about is what his best position is. I'd be interested to know where he thinks he should play. Either way, he's never had that 6 month period to allow himself to settle and work on his decision making, which is my only criticism of him. Ball retention has always been quite impressive however. Would like to see more chances for him.
In the forest match, he and Fab were both forced into midfield roles where one essentially needed to be Thiago. Neither is quite that player. There were moments in that game where Jones found himself further forward and helped create opportunities for Salah. I would be curious to see Klopp give him Firmino's new role. I think his physicality and ability to hold the ball could help free Salah and Darwin.

I personally think Curtis is an excellent player, what he needs is a good run in the 1st team.
He has been a bit unfortunate with injury which has curtailed his 1st team opportunities.
He is a versatile player and maybe that's his way forward (the new Milner?).
Anyway I hope he makes it at Liverpool.
