Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones admits he's changed the approach to his game.

Jones says he's less obsessed with goals and statistics.

"My head was always just on goals and assists, picking up the ball and just having the ball," Jones told Liverpoolfc.com. "Then I came around the team and I saw there was more to the game.

"Then I understood what I had to do to keep my shirt and what the staff needed from me as a player as a No.8.

"Yeah, my counter-pressing is huge and how fast I move the ball as well. At the back end of the season, with the games that I'd played, you could see I'm starting to find my goals again and assists as well.

"It's mad because in the lactate test I was always in the top three. So I could always run but I just had a thing in my head that running back to your own goal just felt a little bit harder, you know what I mean?

"But now it's part of my game and it just clicks. If I'm on the ball and give away the ball, the first thought in my head is to be the first one to go and get the ball back. If one of the lads went to press, then I'm making sure that I'm blocking the space.

"It just now becomes a natural thing."
