Liverpool controversy at Tottenham has given Jurgen Klopp another problem

From a high point in a Liverpool career to one of the lowest. All in the space of less than 72 hours.

Given he had previously started just one Premier League game all season before being surprisingly thrown into the fray at Chelsea back in April, that the Academy graduate has chiselled out a specific role in two completely different midfield set-ups says much about his growing importance to Klopp.READ MORE: Liverpool are right about VAR and have exposed a bigger problem than PGMOL

That shouldn't be a surprise given the attitude demonstrated by Jones when talking to the ECHO during the summer. "The lads who have come in this summer we know are world class, but I don't think it changes anything for me in terms of how I think and the things I'm doing," he said. "I know if I go out there and play it's a chance to show I am good enough to play in the next game. It's all on me.

So his dismissal after just 26 minutes at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday was particularly untimely. Liverpool appealed the red card - but after receiving confirmation that it was rejected on Tuesday evening Jones will sit out the Premier League game at Brighton on Sunday, and the visits of Everton and Nottingham Forest after the international break.
