Liverpool's Midfield

Macca - Grav - Szobo. Gelling very nicely into a great midfield.
What about depth though? An injury or a red card to one of them and we are in a bit of a pickle. Curtis seems to be available half of the time. Harvey can come in into the advanced positions, seemingly adding to the continuity, but who else? Endo is a destroyer, his link with the others will suffer. Morton is very technical, press resistant, but he doesn't run as much (I hope this is his breakthrough season despite the early signs that he's not wanted long-term).
Would Curtis - Elliott - Endo ever work for us?

Just to say: how nice we seem to a have a midfield unit again!
This is no longer a moaning or a jigsaw puzzling thread.
Now onto depth in a looong ass season.

Jones, Elliott, Endo, Morton, Nyoni and McConnell (once fit) can all cover for us, we could also use Trent in midfield with Bradley at right back if necessary
obviously the injuries we have and our schedule will be critical

Yeah. Gakpo is another emergency option. I think six senior players for three positions is about right. Same as we have up top.

If we ever had to resort to the trio of Curtis - Elliott - Endo, I can see Endo being played as an #8 with Elliot as the #10 and Jones as the #6, with Endo's bustling better utilised further forward. Endo has a decent pass on him in advanced positions too. This would also minimise his weakness of progressing the ball from deep when pressed.
