Curtis Jones drew praise for a remarkable assist to Mohamed Salah during Liverpool's Champions League match against Lille, opening up their defense to secure a 1-0 lead at halftime. Former defender Stephen Warnock noted Jones' ability to effectively disrupt Lille's pressing. Meanwhile, Jones faced criticism from Liverpool fans for stating that Eden Hazard was a better footballer than Salah, despite acknowledging Salah's impact as a match-winner. Although he clarified his admiration for both players, his remarks sparked a debate within the fanbase about comparisons between the two attacking talents.
Brilliant from Liverpool in the press and the way they get the ball back. Lille players are flying forward because they think they have good possession but they are caught out and Mohamed Salah makes no mistake.
The way he plays the pass kills the Lille press and that finish is clinical as we have seen from Salah time and time again this season.
I know this might go a little bit left with our fans because the comparison is always there, but Hazard is the one.
Every game, I'd watch him, just like, wow, that's football. Now he's my teammate.
