It wasn't unpredictable at all for anyone who has seen him play in Bundesliga or for Japan always knew he is a Warrior. Even look at his Bundesliga stats he was by far the best DM in Bundesliga (Statistically)
He played great as Stuttgart 's #6. Also the captain of them and his national team. Ready made leader. Which is great after losing so much experience from our roster. Underappreciated by many, but not me.
@@sushipizza4439 when was that? Because I'm talking about the 20/21 season where we usually played with Mangala and Förster/Castro as our more advanced midfielders
I appreciate Endo. He works hard for us and he defends beautifully. He fits better than I thought he would and his finishing surprised the hell outta me.
I didn't doubt him. When we bought this guy I told everyone he was THE signing we needed. He has an unbelievable ability to read the game- head and shoulders above everyone else- and he takes the least amount of touches which is why he goes unnoticed. He plays fantastic passes, under pressure to get attacks started and he's so calm throughout. I knew we were onto a winner but unfortunately with him being Asian , white peoples dismissive attitude towards Asians was visible in his early starts. Glad all this has changed now. He was colossal in the final.
Any Stuttgart fans would know how valuable Endo was to their team, it is important to sign young rising players for your club but nothing casts shadow on experience.
Underrated aspect is the fact he is the Japan captain. Liverpool loves just collecting national team captains. He knows these guys are mentally strong and have solid emotional iq.
Endo has shocked a lot of people with how well he has done since his move to Liverpool. With Fabhino gone, it left a massive gap for Liverpool in the CDM position and while they looked very close to signing Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, they missed out on both of those players as they opted to go to Chelsea. A lot of eyebrows were raised as to why Liverpool were signing Endo as a lot of people saw him as a panic buy and were confused on why they signed him, it's clear that Jurgen Klopp and the FSG clearly knew what they were doing as this guy was one of the best defensive midfielder in the Bundesliga while playing on Stuttgart as he had excellent defensive stats and knew what he was bringing to the team. In the cameo and cup games he has gotten he has looked very good and before going off on international break with his country, he had his best run of starts in a Liverpool shirt and he played very well in the absence of Alexis Mac Callister. In the defensive midfield position, he was solid defensively always winning possession back, great at aerial duels and covering ground and from an attacking perspective, he played some nice crisp passes and he was impressive. So far, he has been excellent for Liverpool and signing him seemed to be the right decision for him as now you got Moises Caicedo who has come nowhere near justifying his 100 million price tag at Chelsea and Romeo Lavia hasn't even kicked a ball this season as it took him until December to make his debut for Chelsea, Liverpool are in the title race top of the premier league, while Chelsea are currently in a midtable position. His recent performances show the true value/importance of having a defensive midfielder in your team someone who's a stopper and protects the back 4 while also contributing going forward.He's not a starting player, he did his role in great fashion filling in for a player and played well and he also helps them close out games when he comes off the bench. With a midfield of Curtis Jones Harvey Elliott Alexis Mac Callister Dominik Szoboszlai Ryan Gravenberch and Thiago Alcantara soon to come back from injury, realistically what's Liverpool's best midfield 3 when everyone is healthy and when he comes back from the Asian Cup as a fully fit team means Jurgen Klopp has some important decisions to make as to who's in his best lineup because Endo provides a lot of balance in the team, he's not a Declan Rice or Rodri type of midfielder, but he does well when the team calls upon him. He has been one of Liverpool's unsung heroes this season they've had a lot of them, Curtis Jones Joe Gomez Diogo Jota Harvey Elliott and now Endo and even if this isn't a long term solution for them in the holding midfield role since I still expect them to buy a number 6, he's a great player to have for squad depth.
from having a midfield with an average age of 31 to having one of the youngest and most capable midfields in the prem, what a joy. even looking at endo, he's a smart player, turning out of trouble, etc. combining that with macallister, gravenberch, szoboslai and now curtis and elliot, we all of a sudden have a real technically should midfield like we've never had before.
Here after Man city at Anfield, Endo is unstoppable, not even a fully fit treble winning side could get confident possession for at least the second half, what an instant legend!
30 yrs old is fine especially when u see the likes of Fernandinho & Milner who continued to play at the highest level at over 35. Also, speed /pace is the first to go as u age but Endo's game don't heavily rely on it to begin with. I would also assume he takes care of himself properly. And with modern sports science, I hope he can continue to be an asset to the club for 4-5 yrs more instead of just a year or two.
It’s a miracle that Klopp managed integrate a panic buy like Endo to his team so well, considering he wasn’t even in Klopp’s mind at all until the last minute.
I agree with the ease he was acclimated into the team, but I think Klopp had him in mind for a backup choice from the beginning. Either way he's here and I'm glad. Love strong signings under the radar of everyone else and proving them wrong.
Endo was probably Klopp's 4th-5th choice when it comes to CDMs during the transfer window. Klopp supports Stuttgart as a child so he does watch the club often, The fact that Endo was their captain and arguably their best player makes me think that Endo was always in the back of his mind. But yeah, I think u can consider it a "panic buy" because we failed to sign our top choices but I believe Klopp always wanted him as a squad player but the club was probably hesitant because of his age
do not think Endo is a panic buy. Think Endo is on the list just that of his age, he is not prioritize. Do remember Klopp is a German and did ply his mgr exp in the bundesliga and definitely got info earlier on. My thought is FSG just not making Endo as the top priority and fair to them cause its a risk taking a 30 yo from another league that has no EPL experience rather than the younger ones that have EPL experience.
He's exactly what we needed. Klopp is no fool. He kept Endo in the back of his mind as a no nonsense DM when you have a team full on pressing monsters with lots of talent. Got him for peanuts in the present market as well. He's got that Japanese 'never surrender' quality about him. His forward passes have got better and more strategic in the last few games. Reckon he learnt a bit off Mac Allister and how he plays the 6 but with Endo now on his game Mac Allister can play as a No. 8 and have more effect on the attack, as we have just witnessed in the last game, even got himself a goal and I think he is capable of 10+ goals a season playing further up.
Listen Liverpool fan. I have already know he was a real deal when looking for his performance. This guy is not just a decent tackler but he is also quite good at receive the ball under pressure and move the ball forward. His awkward touch may fool you but he was very consistent. Looked at the transfer fee I knew Liverpool got a bargain, again.
If Liverpool win the PL, not only will I be happy for the club, but for these new players, like Endo, Gravenberch, Szobo, Macca (also Nunez, Gakpo, Bradley etc.. so many young new players) I will be so happy for them and their story, ESPECIALLY Endo coming as a 3rd option and relegation battle club.
A G R E E !!!!!!!! ENDO the warrior!!!! It's fated he lands here at such a bargain! Fortunately, Caicedo or Lavia didn't end up with us. It's all good and Kloop is very right about Endo!
You don't simply walk into a big German club and become the club captain, on top of being the captain of the Japan national team. That alone says a lot about Endo's quality. There was no doubt.
I mean he's one of the best CDM im Bundesliga for years. Ofc we have a doubt of him consider his age and lack of EPL experience, but i'm glad he prove us wrong in no time
His beginning in Liverpool is actually similar to Stuttgart. Back then in 2. League even most Stuttgart fans didnt know about Endos existence, until it was an injury or out of form Karazor was replaced by Endo, who had a beast performance in the derby win against Karlsruhe. We all know what happened afterwards. But Endo also made it possible for Karazor to come back to the team and play them as 2 or 3 midfield system.
Endo is one of those players that his low key class but the media talks about Kimmich and Rodri since they're big attractions. Maybe had Dortmund had someone like Endo last season then maybe they would have won the Bundesliga. Endo was a panic buy alright but it has worked out well for Liverpool.
Nope. He was not a panic buy, he was a target for LFC. They also were interested in 2 younger players, and the price tag of those players was relatively high which makes no room for another player. And after the 2 targets are gone, they decided to get a captain personality in Wararu Endo
I was always in Endos Support Don't know why people Doubted him I've watched games of Bundesliga and there's a reason he's the Captain of Japan, whereas I was skeptical of Gravenberch thought we had way more better options than him and yeah I'm not surprised, I personally wanted Liverpool to Go for Locatelli and Bennacer but it is what it is.
Actually he was not a panic buy according to Klopp. He knew him and had tracked him…. Only problem was at 30 he is not a LFC profile buys…. Glad we got him instead of 190m Caicedo +Lavia!
Yes! He is not the one that fit in fastest, actually, Klopp used Mac Alister as a No.6 at the beginning, but with the season move through, he played a more and more important role in the squad!
this is more than normal talent and just being hard working, he even frustrated KDB, He is very talented AND he's hardworking and strong mentally. Don't play asian athletes down for no reason, thanks
nabhuto actually liverpool win a community shield,and i know you think supercups are not trophies but in the famous six titles barcelona it as the supercopa de españa that is a supercup as it is the community shield.

true u right
Here after Liverpool w0n the carabao cup and once again Endo is the unsung hero
Endo the goat
Iam a dormund fan but watching wataru endo is like watching kagawa back in my childhood not only that i knew he was good in stuttgart
He is the same as Toyota,a practical and reliable midfielder
You got the point my brother

Endo is a born to be captain type of person. He was a captain in his first J league club, Shonan Bermale when he was 19.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's captain in a few years.
Is that the same as Shonan Bellmare?
Endo is sincere and hardworking, so he always meet our expectations. 🇯🇵

Plus he is Japanese. Them boys peak at 27,28 and easily go to 35. Easily.
Endo Really play fantastic & help Liverpool so much in Midfield...No Debryune no Rodri or Rice can beat or tackle him...💪💪
He wrote a book about his style of play! I am so impressed by this guy!
Is that so?

Love this. Was so surprised he was scooped up by Liverpool and had a shaky start but man has he cementes his place in the squad.
I knew Endo Before He Went To Liverpool Because I Packed Him In Fifa and Was so good lmao Good post
Really hope he is fit. What a gem do we have!
I absolutely love Endo and what he contributes towards the team.
I believe liverpool found another world class gem for a bargain.
Love the analysis ❤

I would not be surprised if endo became a manager a decade into the future for liverpool
Best buy of the season,a very good midfield player
When we signed him I was doubtful but wow I was proven massively wrong he's become one of the best dms in the league
@2:16 got me in stitches! I always wonder, what Klopp was thinking at that time 😂
Endo is a beast. The calmer and better version of gattuso in the modern day of football
Fun fact - after FSG failed to acquire Caicedo, Klopp and Jorg pushed for Endo to be the ultimate DM replacement for Milner
small but mighty endo!
Endo was a smart buy…YNWA❤
They laughed when we bought him.
They’re not laughing now.
Stuggart fans were crying when he left, to me that said alot about him
Facts they not now
already a legend considering the way he arrived in liverpool.
He is our Samurai ❤❤❤❤
W, Endo. The best midfild.

Do a vid on rhe rise of Cold Palmer🥶
Endo is an important player but Alexis Macca has been tremendous in Endo’s absence
Chelsea buys players that showed their max
Liverpool buys players that show that they have great potentional
This man always pressing and push opposite player so close. He's character, agility and effort remind me as Gattuso, with better long crossing.
Only with Klopp can we get such players. Most of his purchase are useful. Compare this with maybe Chelsea.
Nahbuto you sound hella sick
I can feel this dude spitting 💀
Wouldnt call it a panic buy he was probably one of the alternatives just not the first on the list
wondering 2 golden DMs bought by Chelsea and how they felt when they met our Endo 🤣
