Gerrard took it to his Instagram to praise Jones for his incredible performance last night against Greece. However, he did not like the fact that Curtis had to wait so long for his international call.
Moreover, the Liverpool legend claimed that he wants a ‘fine’ for everyone responsible for this.
“What a player. Fine the FA and all of the coaches for being late.”
Jones did not only impress Steven Gerrard last night. The 23-year-old had a dream debut. He has broken a 45 years old record by becoming the first Liverpool player since 1982 to score on his England debut.
In that year, Sammy Lee scored on his debut, and it was the 3rd goal. Coincidentally, in that match too, England won 3-0 over Greece.
