Was at the game Weds and really feel that Endo gives our back 4 much more protection than anyone else. He is getting better and stronger every game breaks up play and either looks to set up attack or play simple ball and start again showing his experience. I was in lower kd and felt that atmosphere was better than most games I've been to this season. The away fans will always make a lot of noise as they are all bunched together, easier for songs and noise to take off etc. That being said i think Klopp played a blinder in the press and Anfield will be like a European night on sat. Keep the faith Ynwa.

Sat will be a good test for Endo and the rest of the midfield.

Plus they have good wide forwards so full backs will need to be on point.

We have nothing to fear from Arsenal but we’ll need to play with Wed intensity not the intensity we have V Utd, Palace and Fulham.

Endo had a very good game. His passing is great. He can be pressured a little when being pressed but that is just something to work on. Quite pleased to have Endo in our squad and is my first choice DM in the squad right now.

I think Endo is slow across the pitch and ponderous on the ball on most occasions, granted he had a better game against West Ham who changed seven players from the weekend.

Endo will be tested against arsenal who won't give him a second to breath. Still not first choice for me. Agree with @Irish.

While I agree endo is first choice DM and had a good game, I think so far he’s too slow on the ball and too weak in possession for what we need. I’d love for him to prove me wrong and hope he does against the gunners but in my opinion we really do need to strengthen there asap and go back to a proper back 4 too. Come on endo - prove me wrong please!

He's an ok player with a great attitude and work ethic. However, like Lucas and Klavan, we can do better in that position.

I think I agree on the pace. It's not that he is slow but that lone DM is a tough position and pace I think is a key ingredient. Endo makes up with good defensive intellegence and work rate but I would look to the transfer market if there is a top pacy DM available.

Endo is a very useful player in the squad tough. I think he brings a lot and is the best DM we currently have with Bajcetic out injured.

I agree with you guys on endo … when he receives the ball from the CB he gets tackled all the time cos he’s not quick enough or shrewd enough to spot the person pressing . arsenal will jump all over him

He will need far more training to be up to speed
Like Fabinho - I remember how slow he was in his reactions after receiving it but he developed.

It’s easy to like Endo seems to be a humble guy, he does get caught on the ball but if he starts and we really go at them and don’t allow Ødegaard on the ball he has the right attitude and effort to give us a top class game
Merry Christmas all I cannot wait.

Redrebel I think the Palace game was a bit of a watershed moment for Endo. They targeted him as he received the ball from the CB and he got caught numerous times.

Then in the Utd and West Ham games he just popped it back to the CB first time when under pressure. You could say that Utd and West Ham barely put us under pressure but that’s because we didn’t allow them to.

Let Arsenal target Endo because they will leave gaps in behind them when they rush him and I think the penny has dropped with him.

He needs to play because we are so open without his sort of player. His pace is an issue because he can be too aggressive and gets caught up further up sometime but my biggest issue with him is he dithers on the ball sometimes and loses it in dangerous areas. Hopefully he adapts to PL pace quickly.
