After watching Endo over the season, his secret is the ability to read where the ball will be played next. I watched the game against Man City the other night, and every single time that Man City were looking to play the ball to KDB, Endo was there in the passing lane. His reading of the game, and what players are looking to do next is just world class. 16 Million pounds is an absolute bargain.

When they signed Endo Sabo and Maca I forgot about Jude Even though Jude would of been a great signing but I’d take those three over a Jude any day But I would also place Jude in those three and Take all four of them But because it was either Jude or them Three I chose the three anyday Plus Jude wouldn’t of been able to be top goal scorer if he was playing for Liverpool because firstly we would of been two more players Short just saying my opinion don’t shoot me guys

The thing that's great about Endo is that sometimes his first challenge doesn't win the ball but he will always be there for the 2nd or 3rd challenge again. He don't give up easily.

His reading of the game, positioning, passing etc is lightyears ahead of Caicedo!!!

Endo reminds me of James Miller, another unsung hero, a tough guy.

Endo + Mac Allister linkup in midfield is too good

He has been so impressive, Klopp is a genius

Scoucser Samurai! What a bargain. Surely the gods of football thought of Liverpool and Endo together when the nodded Chelsea for Caicedo. Endo is a complete CM. A monster on and off the ball. He reminds me of Javier Mascherano. He's the difference. Macca is on another level in his own right

16 million pounds it an absolute bargain for this top quality player..Endo ability to read the game and defensive mentality was top..YNWA for Japanese Capitan

MVP off the season there no doubt about that.

One of the things that has impressed me the most about Endo, is that his progressive passing after breaking up an opponents offensive move has been stellar. He turns defense into attack seemingly so effortlessly.

Absolute samurai in that midfield made KDB look like a toddler the other day.

Swear he can see all the opponents passing lanes and just gets in the way, such a brilliant disruptor

This man Endo wearing mouthguard on the pitch that's how you know he's a whole problem

One of the smaller guys but he more than makes up with strength and balance. Heck, he wins almost as many aerial duels as Fabinho!!

He's getting better and better ! A hustler on the field , disrupts play, and he has a good eye for a sharp pass !

After a somewhat shaky start, Endo became one of our most valuable players. Love him

It’s the speed he releases the ball after making crunching tackles, this guy is the best midfielder in the premiership right now, if you looked at his Stats in the bundesleague he was always going to make an impact.

What a player. Liverpool dodged a massive bullet missing out on caicedo

For the opponents coming to Anfield, the ENDO is near 💪💪💪

Honestly i did expect him to sweep up and tackle. What i wasn't prepared for was how more often than not he passes the ball forward and accurately and so quickly , as opposed to sideways or backward. Everything is starting with him.

great compilation! I love that you focused on his defensive part but not the fancy ones.

What a player. Built with an engine of note. Has improved his game as well.

He is an absolute menace. I am so glad he is in red.

Endo is a soccer player who excels at intercepting the ball from the opponent and converting those moments into opportunities for his team. For instance, if both teams initially have an equal number of chances at 15:15, Endo's presence and his ability to win the ball back 5 times can shift the balance to 20:10 in favor of his team.

Endo proves how important it is in soccer to break off an opponent's attack.

Replacing prime fab i thought would be difficult and expensive. Endo proved excellent what scouting could do.

All bow to the 'Shogun' Wataru Endo

we are living in the Endo Period… with Emperor Wataru Endo

Even when he misses a challenge he often has still done enough to disrupt the attacker, take them out of stride and slow play down. Couple that ability to be a pest with his reading of the game and eagerness to put himself about makes him the steal of the season for me. How other bigger clubs didn't go in for this guy is absolutely beyond me, but it goes to show that there are far more "hidden" gems out there than the inflated transfer market would have us believe.

@@redknight07_ 🤔If we’re talking about right now I would say TAA hasn’t been much of an impact or as involved compared to his previous seasons just due to the fact he’s been injured twice this season with having to sit out for some time. Now Joe Gomez on the other hand has helped the team out tremendously by playing pretty much any where Klopp needs him to play. Also what I meant by my comment is that TAA doesn’t have a great football IQ (since the original post is referring to Endo’s great defensive abilities due to him having a high level of football⚽️IQ) because if he did he wouldn’t be such a liability to the team when it comes to defending all these years.

Thats our Pitbull right there.
