Phil Jones’s face: it’s a work of art. In 2,000 years when future civilisations are looking back at our culture, they won’t be asking questions about how we let the planet get destroyed, or why we were so unable to deal with inequality – they’ll be asking what the deal is with Phil Jones’s face.
And quite right too. Can you explain it? Why do his cheeks and jaw seemingly operate independently from his brain? Is it just because he’s concentrating? If so, did he pull those faces in exams? THAT would be distracting.
Now we could fill an entire essay with questions and observations about Phil Jones’s face, but instead we’ll let the actual faces do the talking. We bring you 20 of the most ridiculous Phil Jones faces that, having signed him up until 2019, Man U fans can enjoy for at least another four years.
1. The one where he realised after making a tackle with his head that he would undoubtedly become a meme
2. The one where he looks like he’s quite literally just shat the on pitch
3. The one where he’s a seal
4. The one where he’s terrified of water/midway through shape-shifting into his reptilian form
5. The one where he looks like he’s just fallen 30,000 feet through the air and landed on a football pitch
6. The other one where he looks like he just shat on pitch
7. The one where he looks like Neil Warnock’s son, fortunately blessed with eyebrows thus making him slightly less terrifying
8. The one where he actually looks remarkably normal
9. The one when the MDMA rush hit him just as he kicked the ball
10. The one where he’s that annoying kid who won’t stop splashing in the pool
11. The one where he scored a goal and was for some reason absolutely terrified by this
12. The one where he learned to use his ability to his advantage on the pitch – by distracting the opposition
13. The one where he’s doing his job well but is sad about depriving his friend of the ball
14. The one we just can’t explain
15. The one which would ordinarily be strange but after the rest looks quite normal
16. The one where he’s surely just trolling us
17. The one where he’s being taken by a higher power
18. The one where there’s literally no need
19. The one where a parallel universe opened in front of him, both scaring and exciting him
20. The one where his jaw wants to leave the rest of his face and go it alone
