Dan ClubHOST
Um, a more, again, tenacious, maybe athletic, maybe a more defensive-minded midfielder who anticipates danger and tries to sniff it out before it becomes a problem, which I think we'd all suggest if Liverpool's best interests at heart is a type of player that we're probably missing right now.
Dan ClubHOST
And interestingly, there's been some suggestions in the past twenty-four hours that Liverpool could sell Wataru Endo perhaps as soon as January.
Dan ClubHOST
And I think off the back of him not playing in midweek, you'd have to think the writing's on the wall there, I would suggest maybe.
Dan ClubHOST
Um, anyway, what do we think about those players, about Liverpool needing more in the midfield department? I think that's a necessity.
Dan ClubHOST
Another conversation I was really impressed by him.
Dan ClubHOST
But Wataru Endo will move on to pastures new.
Dan ClubHOST
Just naturally that will happen.
Dan ClubHOST
And who knows what the future holds again for the more senior midfield lads in there.
Phil EganHOST
Goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and a cracker from Dominik Szoboszlai were the difference on the night at Anfield.
Phil EganHOST
Wario and Ndombele, James McConnell, Lewis Koumas, and Trey Nyoni all started, and Iraola says he only took them off in the second half out of necessity.
Andoni IraolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Trey was cramping.
Andoni IraolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Wario couldn't have run a lot more.
Andoni IraolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, McConnell, uh, the same.
Andoni IraolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And when this happens, it's because you've given us what you got.
Louis EastonHOST
Yeah, one more point I'd like to make on the Carabao Cup match.
Louis EastonHOST
Unused sub, Wataru Endo, got no minutes.
Louis EastonHOST
And that's a bit of a shame for me because this is a player that we were excited to see back from injury and back available for Liverpool.
Louis EastonHOST
He's 33 now, but still very fit, very aggressive, likes to go into duels.
Louis EastonHOST
But we haven't seen him play a minute for us all season.
Louis EastonHOST
And I thought this would be the match where he gets a shift.
Louis EastonHOST
But James McConnell and Trae Neone both get picked ahead of Endo.
Louis EastonHOST
Now, do you think that's it for Endo then, seeing as he's not getting used even in the Carabao Cup?
Tim SherwoodHOST
Makes no sense for elite athletes with technical ability like these boys have to only play in one position.
Stevo the MadmanHOST
The kid at Liverpool, Wario, he played right midfield-
Charlie AustinGUEST
Yeah
Stevo the MadmanHOST
... don't you see it the other day.
Arne SlotSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, Trey was cramping.
Arne SlotSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Wario couldn't have run a lot more.
Arne SlotSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, McConnell, uh, the same.
Arne SlotSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And when this happens, it's because you've given us what you got, no? And, and, and I think, uh, they've especially, you know, been, been very, very, very energetic, very, uh, with the willingness of winning the duels, of, uh, making the, they, they feel their presence, and I was happy for them, yes.
Dave DavisHOST
Tsimikas, your reward for being shit against Fulham is to start here at left back.
Dave DavisHOST
In the middle, Luke Chambers at left center back and Wataru Endo at right center back.
Dave DavisHOST
That is my starting back five.
Dave DavisHOST
Say what you want, but that is what I would go with.
Dave DavisHOST
But everyone's kind of...
Dave DavisHOST
Everyone's guessing the lineup, aren't they? As James Pearce wrote yesterday, "Lewis Koumas and Trey Naioni are both in contention for a start, along with Wataru Endo, Jeremy Frimpong, and Cody Gakpo, who were among the substitutes last weekend.
Dave DavisHOST
Iraola is expected to make plenty of changes." De Zerbi said he's going to as well.
Dave DavisHOST
I wanna see loads of, loads of changes.
Lewis AspinallHOST
I think Van Dijk will certainly be rested.
Lewis AspinallHOST
And he'll be alongside Wataru Endo.
Lewis AspinallHOST
Now, that doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence.
Lewis AspinallHOST
Two of the three defenders I've listed already, meh.
Lewis AspinallHOST
Endo at center back does not fill me with confidence, particularly against the Tottenham team, who are looking good in attacking transitions.
Lewis AspinallHOST
They're just not finding the back of the net or even the target.
Lewis AspinallHOST
So they can cause us problems.
Lewis AspinallHOST
Endo proved in the Monaco preseason friendly that he is just not at a level required for Liverpool anymore.
Ste HoareHOST
Does he want to play him? He can go into center back.
Ste HoareHOST
Wataru Endo's there as well.
Ste HoareHOST
That is one of the options.
Ste HoareHOST
That's one of the, the key points there is like who, who do you think he's gonna p- partner at center back?
