These Liverpool fans were raving over Curtis Jones footage that was posted by The Kopite on Twitter.
Jones is currently playing for Liverpool’s U23s in the Premier League 2. At that level Jones has scored eight goals in 12 matches, while also managing to get four assists.
Here’s what the Liverpool fans had to say about the footage on Twitter, with one fan going on to claim he could be their next Philippe Coutinho, which would be something considering the Brazilian went on to achieve 54 goals and 45 assists in his 201 appearances for the Anfield outfit (per TransferMarkt):

One fan even called him the new Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian managed to score 54 goals and provided 45 assists during his 201 appearances at Anfield. Of course, the youngster has a long way to go if he is to achieve those kinds of numbers in the first-team at Liverpool, but his goal against Everton and his latest for the Under-23 side certainly shows that he has the ability to create something out of nothing.

Should Curtis Jones start against Manchester United?
Yes
No
Jones seems to be scoring wherever he plays this season, getting five goals in four UEFA Youth League matches and scoring once in the only FA Cup match he’s played in.
These Liverpool fans are clearly very impressed with their talented youngster, perhaps the 18-year-old is ready to start playing some serious Premier League football?
The future is here !

What Do We Think?
Jones is going to have a tough time breaking into Liverpool’s senior team, with the likes of Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum in his way.
However, it is clear that the Anfield faithful are clearly excited by what the teenager has already shown with his performances and are keen to see him push into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team in the near future.
