Maybe, but he'd definitely be a better than McConnell.

If Endo plays against City, we'd dominate and destroy them. Play Macca and Endo, Gravvy to come on in the 2nd half.
But Slot'll never let it happen, sadly.

What's weird is he talked about Endo's attitude during the press conference today. How other players should have the same mentality he does.
But he still doesn't give Endo any significant minutes on the pitch in important games.
Not bringing on Endo to sure up the midfield against Everton was criminal.
Look at how he did against Wolves. I thought, well at least Slot learned from his mistake.
Then he lets Endo rot on the bench again yesterday when we were under pressure.
If Endo was dutch and bald, i'm sure he'd be first on the team sheet. Nah, obviously i was joking 🙂
Problem is, we were never ahead late enough in the game to shore up the defence enough to guarantee the win. Whether he thought gravy offered enough going forward, so that's why he persisted I don't know.
Add in Bradleys injury I can see why endo was never the first choice.
Personally I would have started him
It's a good point and I agree to an extent. Just not about Endo starting.
In Slot's defence, we can all point to Endo, and rightly so, but only him and Tsimikas have been fit and banging on the door for most of the season. That's 2 members in a large squad of players.
Elliott, Chiesa, Nunez, Jota, Gomez, Bradley, all been pish, unfit or injured. That's near a full bench of players that haven't been able to be depended on. Some of that is the clubs fault, some of it the players need to take accountability for, but I do whince when I see pundits losing their minds about our 'strength and depth'. It's nowhere near as strong in reality as on paper.
Still plenty of moments that Slot could have shared more minutes around, though.

Nah, I dont think there is much between them. Note that Bajcetic was sent out on loan also because of an attitude issue and with a view that it would sort him out.
McConnell could also play RB I reckon.
Considering the number of games we play in other competitions, as much as it means there's lesser injuries for some players, it obviously means they aren't afforded much rest too.

Nah lad. I’ve had a belter time in Sauze D’Oulx.
Love the ninja.
I’m annoyed that he speaks about Endo in press conferences but seems resentful to use him.
Through observating how some of our midfield have performed over the season. Early on Mac Allister was clearly struggling with the pace. Now Gravenberch is nowhere near the levels he has shown.
Against both Villa and Everton we had Poor final 15 minutes that may have helped us out. No guarantee it would’ve done but it is fair to assume with some confidence having a fresh pair of legs on a ball winner would been a positive move.

... you wouldn't make subs in the last 10 minutes is what you're saying here
No, not at all. I was crying out for similar changes in games too.
What I'm saying is you can't look back now and say had we made the change we would definitely be better off.
There's every chance we could have dropped points too.
We are here now, and it's a good place to be.
Endo is one of the most loveable players we’ve ever had in terms of professionalism and attitude.
He needs some meme-ability to go down in the annals of cult hero
Slot was aided by having a settled XI.
It's basically the same starters as last season with Gravy being the only change.
He'll have the same starters next season, minus Trent. Our bench won't be the same, that's for sure.
Watching Endo stroll around the Anfield pitch with a league winning medal around his neck will be a magical moment.
