A Liverpool star has seemingly fired a dig at Jurgen Klopp following the arrival of new manager Arne Slot.

Midfielder Curtis Jones say he is currently the happiest he has been and prefers Slot's style of play to Klopp's.

"He's amazing. It's probably the happiest I've been," Jones told reporters, as per Goal.

"As a style of play, it suits me. It is a clear plan. Arne is fully involved in the training, he coaches us a lot, he's big on the finer details. 

"He knows it's going to take a bit of time because it's a big change. I came around the team as a young lad. 

"I always had a way of playing, but I had to adapt and change. It wasn't anything I couldn't do. But this now is more me. I can get on the ball more. I can 'do me' more.

"My way of playing has always been to get on the ball and play, help the team, and be comfortable on the ball.

"I then came around a team who had world-class lads on the wing and up front. The centre-mids were always more like runners, more disciplined. Now the midfielders are going to be the heart of the team.

"In terms of our build-up, we have to be more calm and play more as a team. We're not in a rush to attack. We want to have the ball and just break teams down. In the past, it was kind of a rush. It was a bit too direct, it was up and down. Now Arne wants us to have all the ball and completely kill teams."
