Liverpool, Wataru upto?

[Judge Jules]

How quick some on here were to write off Endo earlier on. You'd think we'd know better by now.

 

[dee]

There's several posters still saying we desperately need to buy a DM still

 

[Stevesquash]

And we've got Badger to come back in, who was brilliant for us in this position last year.

 

[keniget]

I'm reasonably certain h's not that short term.

Same - that's not Klopp's / our style. I'm just saying even he does end up being a short-term fix, it was worthwhile getting him.

This whole going without thing we've gotten used to is tired. His signing made most go WTF but just having someone competent that can do the job makes a difference.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Too bad Mac Allister was still total shit when Endo at 6 released him to play LM.

 

[rubans]

I like how he seems intent on finding the right ball when in posession. Very progressive, really do like some of the players we buy sometimes. Never heard of him before.

 

[Frogfish]

I dunno, he’s so respectful to refs I think it’ll take a hell of a lot.

I'm in Japan (again) at the moment and that is one of the things I love about the Japanese - the respect (most of them) give to people.

Tbf he wasn't that bad,and then he took a decent knock so played within himself.

Us elder statesmen know better.

He almost scored a worldie. Still total shit? When has he been that?

 

[RedStar]

On one hand I'd really like to see how he does with a run of games in his natural position. On the other hand it means 3 of Gravenberch Szoboszlai Mac Elliott and Jones are benched. I don't know if that's the right thing for us. Szoboszlai seems to have hit a wall after the recent internationals, Mac to a certain extent too

Beautiful culture.

Too many games. Great goal mind.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

He was completely invisible the whole game until his substitution. If you look at his contribution compared to Szoboszlai, he was very very limited.

 

[Judge Jules]

Macca's admitted in at least one previous interview that he's found it hard to get up to speed so soon after the latest international break. So the guy's only human - big whoop. The fact that Kloppo still selected him shows how highly he rates what Macca brings to the team.

 

[peekay]

I was thinking that even if, for some reason, we end up replacing him in the summer and he only ends up being a short-term fix, it was absolutely worth the money and a valuable lesson in not always having to wait for the so called "right" player.

I hope we heed that same lesson when it comes to the CB issue next month.

Klopp adds "I don't think so" on the prospect of Liverpool adding a defender to the squad in January.

 

[binomial]

Love the guy, today was a very tough game for him with Hughes and others breathing down his necks.....used his body well at times to draw fouls but needs to know how to move or shift the ball quicker especially in games away from home.

 

[Fabio]

Was good today, and I disagreed with his sub

 

[FreshRed]

I also thought he played well, but too many times he did not have a good outlet, if part because there is no one in the right back space when he receives the ball at times. So, he was forced to take a second touch and got hounded.

When he had time, he turned beautiful and made some lovely progressive passes.

Not sure that he was subbed for not playing well, but Klopp decided to have more of a right back and chose to keep Trent vs Endo on the field.

 

[dee]

Fucking awesome today

 

[Fabio]

It's the consistency of the displays I'm happiest about. Even on a yellow today he was still great

 

[darkstarexodus]

Man of the match, probably. Konate and Virgil were immense too.

 

[KopRed]

Buy of the season.

Even better than Szobo.

We will likely be royally fucked by now if we didn't have Endo.

 

[binomial]

Another fine performance from him, only behind Ibou as motm.

 

[Buddha]

He was awesome today.

 

[Dreambeliever]

He’s really grown into the pace of the EPL.

Very few sterner tests than that game.

 

[Squiggles]

Another decent performance.

Fair to say Endo is proving himself capable at this level.

 

[gashomme]

He was good again today and even on a yellow he just got on with it. With the money left over from his and Gravy's transfers vs the Caceido bid, hopefully there is a budget to strengthen in January if Klopp wants to.

 

[rurikbird]

He’s genuinely better than Caicedo at this point.

BTW I love French commentary for our games. Makes the game seem more elegant somehow.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Japanese Kante is my favourite player at the moment.

What i love about him is he rarely gives the ball away and just when you think he's pretty limited, he surprises you with a good pass or run with the ball. His decision-making when on the ball is also superb.
