What a player and I can't give more praise to everyone involved in identifying and signing him. Him and Alexis have been the signings of the season for me, anywhere in Europe. £50m for the pair of them and they have come in and completely changed this team (alongside the excellent Dom and Grav)

When you think what £50m gets you nowadays it's insane. Half a Caicedo/Enzo. Slightly more than a Lavia. Mason Mount. Hell, even Sigurdsson was £50m when Everton bought him

[John C]

I could understand a bit of scepticism when he first signed. Few had heard of him - I hadn't

I hadn't either mate. Great post.
My small concern in his first few games was that once or twice he'd commit to a press and the ball would end up behind him leaving him way out of position.
Now he's hitting his target to achieve the tackle or take it off the opposition player.
And then he's capable of a brave, offensive, forward pass, turning the opposition round to have to track back to defend.

He's great, so pleased with him and far more to come.

His vertical passing is excellent and he shows great energy. My only concern would be sometimes against a really athletic midfield he can struggle a bit at the start of games. His stamina then comes into play and he helps us dominate teams towards the end of games.

A great addition to the squad and someone who has been vital to our season.

You can see he has learned and adapted to move the ball along a lot quicker than what he is used to.

I dont think Grav has been a big success yet but time is on his side.

when you think as you say he cost 16 and he can hold his own against a 220m midfield combo at Chelsea you see how good he is

His early games he might not have impressed but some issues worked against him

1. Bournemouth at home, he only signed the day before, doubt he had much training at all with us and was brought on after we had a man sent off. Hardly ideal, if we went in to a job in a new country and the first day you are understaffed I am sure we would all find it hard

2. Newcastle away, again he was still learning the trade here plus we had another red card early on so it was hard again

3. I believe things improved not only after training etc but he became more settled when apparently he finally found somewhere for himself and the family to live, around the time I heard that his form improved

He is practically undroppable at this stage

[Fruity]

I have been massively impressed by Endo. Gets stuck in and can pick a forward pass as well. Even with all the injuries the midfield just seems to be gelling and getting better with every game. We have been impressive the last few games.

On another note it would be interesting to see what impact Trent has on the team when fit.

[istvan kozma]

Been absolutely brilliant for the team, he's become crucial in the last few months. Pretty pathetic certain posters used his early struggles as confirmation bias for their own pathetic agenda. After his first start against Newcastle certain posters were already writing him off. Hopefully Endo and the team go on to achieve greatness in the coming months. Meaning the agenda driven cheap shots and unfair criticism of Endo will be looked at in hindsight as stupid as the 'Lap top Eddie' line, a certain poster came up with

[BCCC]

I love the lad, that's all really.

never understood people who support the club who then rubbish new signings under klopp how many players have we signed that were rubbish   ..zero

Arthur was rubbish....it was of course an emergency loan and not a signing - but we kind of knew what we were getting.

We didn't get anything though.

Who was it who came up with the 'Laptop Eddie' moniker I wonder.

When you search one of the earliest mentions is a certain Istvan Kozma.

Maybe he just got caught between the moon and New York City...

Someone wrote on one of his Instagram posts they they think they are "Endosexual" and I find that relatable.

Common theme in the early stages of playing in our side, many players have done the same because the triggers and positioning required for our side seem difficult to take to quickly. Most players just need some adjustment time to learn the triggers

[jckliew]

Endo will be of higher value by summer. Time to scout for the next Caiceido. 

[him_15]

Sighing of the season for me.

[Drinks Sangria]

I know it’s crazy, but it’s true.

On Endo, he’s been far and away better than I thought he would be. I saw a bit of him at Stuttgart and he always seemed a decent, solid, committed player but I never once thought he’d be linked to us. When he first joined, I was critical of him and felt he was taking too long to pick up the pace of the games, but that was unfair of me.

Particularly since December, he’s been exceptional and a bargain. Really glad he’s here, if he could keep these levels for another couple of seasons that would be fantastic. Aside from MacAllister and Van Dijk I’d say he’s been our best player this season.

[markedasred]

Wataru gets a call last season from Jorg asking him if he would like to play for Liverpool. "it's £50k per week I am afraid"
Endo says "It's not too bad, I have invested my wages here in Germany well, and I have some sponsors, so I can give you £10 million for 4 years in advance if you like"

[na fir dearg]

Love the combination of him and Mac Allister, we seem to have a nice balance there now

The modern day Masher! Get the ball and give it to Gerrard or Alonso!

Beautiful. I love him even more after watching those clips. So grounded, so intelligent, so perceptive.

He’s a perfect Liverpool player.

[mattD]

Endo's the kind of guy who would make a great manager.

He plays in the middle of the park, has an eye for all the play around him, but uses his game intelligence to overcome shortcomings in his game (e.g. pace). Very grounded as you say, dignified and cool; he'd be perfect.

[CHOPPER]

Aaaah Sooo, the crazy 88's a thing - We started of all nice and hello's, few pages in and its who really is he bar playing in the German league, then he's too slow, then hes a stop gap, then he's alright, then he's saved is 100 odd million, then its lets all laugh at chelsea, then hes fantastic and the best Number 6 in the league, and now, he can be a manager!

Woo Hoo, wo-wo hoo!
Woo Hoo, wo-wo hoo!

[xbugawugax]

He is pretty dreamy to be fair.

[spider-neil]

I think Endo will keep his place in the team even when Jones returns to full fitness.

[Redshadow]

This thread is weird. It's full of people arguing about how right they are😒😒

[spider-neil]

This is just further evidence that you shouldn't write off players so soon despite low fees, high fees, or so-so early performances.
