Jones is as useful in midfield as O'Shea was (Actually O'Shea was rather competent, Jones isn't). I'd rather we don't play him there. His inexperience can be seen from space. Positioning is often wrong. Lots of ball watching and basically - he's not a midfielder.
This. Doesn't know where to position himself when played there.

Indeed but Barcelona win Champion's Leagues with makeshift defenders and makeshift midfielders, you have to be able to adapt to difficult situations. Let's remember also Jones did a competent job against Spain too.
