Pepijn Lijnders attributed Jones' impressive recent return to form to his "Scouse mentality". On 30 September, Jones was controversially sent off in a Premier League away match against
Tottenham Hotspur for a foul on
Yves Bissouma. The foul was originally awarded a
yellow card by referee
Simon Hooper but was upgraded to a
red card after he was shown a still image of the foul by the
video assistant referee. The decision was criticised by many pundits including
Gary Neville and
Jamie Redknapp, the former of whom stated: "I think generally, he's gone in genuinely but his foot slips on top of the ball. I'm not sure, I never am nowadays, I'm less sure about football than I ever have been but I don't think he's gone in with any malice." Jones scored his first goals of the 2023–24 season in a 5–1 win over
West Ham United at the quarter-final stage of the
EFL Cup on 20 December 2023. == International career ==
