‘Fine the FA and all the coaches!’ - Steven Gerrard aims dig at England bosses after Liverpool star Curtis Jones enjoys dream international debut

<p>Jones was the star of the show as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-player-ratings-vs-greece-ollie-watkins-jordan-pickford/blt6cff7366868d7fb3" target="_blank">England beat Greece 3-0 in the Nations League </a>on Thursday. The 23-year-old finished off a fine team move with a cheeky back-heel for the Three Lions' third and final goal in Athens. It was a debut to remember for the Liverpool midfielder and Reds legend Gerrard took to Instagram with a light-hearted joke, suggesting the FA should be fined for only just bringing Jones into the fold.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>On Instagram, Gerrard posted a photo featuring Jones from the official England account, saying: "What a player, fine the FA and all the coaches for being late."</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd38327ee93aab1ca/Snapinsta.app_466538046_1093765362292435_7044952512965645933_n_1179.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd38327ee93aab1ca/Snapinsta.app_466538046_1093765362292435_7044952512965645933_n_1179.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd38327ee93aab1ca/Snapinsta.app_466538046_1093765362292435_7044952512965645933_n_1179.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Steven gerrard Curtis Jones instagram 2024-25" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="@stevengerrard" data-portal-copyright="@stevengerrard" perform:prop="uuid:bltd38327ee93aab1ca;width:1179;height:2096"></picture>

WHAT GERRARD SAID

<p>Jones' performance against Greece <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/fans-stunned-by-curtis-jones-backheel-goal-england-greece-liverpool-midfielder-hailed-for-performance-full-three-lions-debut/bltf0d54359532de2cf" target="_blank">caught the eye of fans </a>as well as pundits, particularly for his cheeky finish late on in the game. With so many players missing due to injury, Jones is likely going to get another chance to shine on Sunday against the Republic of Ireland. The 23-year-old will see this opportunity as an audition to make the cut under incoming head coach Thomas Tuchel.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>England welcome the Republic of Ireland to Wembley on Sunday knowing a win will earn them promotion to League A of the Nations League, even if Greece win themselves against Finland. </p>

WHAT NEXT FOR JONES?
