Andy Robertson responds to ‘frustrating’ Curtis Jones message at Liverpool
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has taken to social media to voice his frustrations after their 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Wednesday (December 4).
The 23-year-old scored Liverpool’s first equaliser 15 minutes after Alexander Isak’s opener with a thunderous close-range effort.
Anthony Gordon then restored Newcastle’s lead before Mohamed Salah took the game by the scruff of the neck, bagging a brace to send Arne Slot’s side 3-2 up.
The league leaders looked set for their eighth consecutive win across all competitions, but Fabian Schar had other ideas, nodding in a controversial equaliser, forcing Liverpool to share the spoils.
Liverpool have seen their nine-point lead cut to seven, with Chelsea and Arsenal sneaking up behind them in the race for the Premier League title.

The central midfielder is having a breakout 2023-24 campaign, making 17 appearances across all competitions, 10 of which have been starts, scoring two goals and providing four assists in 924 minutes of action.
Jones’ fine form earned him a call-up to Lee Carsley’s last squad as interim England manager, scoring a cheeky backheel on his debut in their 3-0 UEFA Nations League win over Greece.
Liverpool remain favourites to win the Premier League title going into the hectic festive period, but Jones took to Instagram to vent his frustrations about their draw with Newcastle. Teammate Andy Robertson was one of the first to reply.
Looking ahead to the Merseyside derby against Everton on Saturday (December 7), the caption says: “Frustrating night, but happy to score on my 150th. Take the point and move onto Saturday!”
Liverpool have seven games over the next three weeks as they seek to end Man City’s monopoly on the Premier League title.
