Slot recently discussed Jones' position in an interview, saying that he and Jones agree that his best position is as a number eight. This would allow him to have more freedom on the pitch, with a number six playing alongside him.
However, Jones has played in many different positions and feels comfortable in each one. This flexibility is a valuable asset, but Slot believes that a number six should be more defensive-minded. Jones, on the other hand, prefers to have more freedom to roam the pitch.
Slot also mentioned that Jones could play as a number ten, but thinks he's more effective when the ball is in front of him or behind him. Jones' impatience is one of his strengths, but it can also be a weakness when he's forced to wait for the ball to come to him.
Slot believes that Jones' best position is as a number eight, where he has the most competition from other players.
