Baptism of fire, longstanding dysfunctional midfield, Trent meandering about the place like he's on oxycontin. The lad will be okay. 

 

I'm not expecting world class by any stretch, given that I've ever even seen him on a Panini sticker, but I reckon he'll be handy enough.

 

Certainly can't be any worse than some of the shite we shipped out like Keita and Ox, or Milner, who is so old that of he was a Nigerian playing for Everton he'd be 26.

 

Or Thiago, who everyone fucking loves but is getting to the stage where he may as well be put down.

Henderson struggled to pass wind and Fabinho was a shadow of himself, in fact the shadow got forward a bit faster.

Against Newcastle I distinctly remember him winning the ball back twice, felt like it took Fabinho until Christmas to rack up those kind of numbers last season.

It took Henderson about three seasons

It's impossible to judge him so far with his shortage of teammates. Especially as he's been brought in to be our least noticeable player even when things go well. He's not looked anything special, but those who carry the piano normally don't.

Agreed , he’s there to pick up the bits, block the passing lanes and make the simple pass . Not spectacular but a workmanlike performance.

He's here to fight, so Macca and Dom can exercise their right to party.

He is not shite and has been available two weeks in a row. Upgrade.

[Mathewbet1]

Just captained Japan to a 4-1 win away to Germany and put in a very tidy midfield performance by all accounts.

You could argue he amd Morita was the axis in midfield that won the game

Was just about to say the same.

 

Japan have had some decent ones down the years.

[TheHowieLama]

Number 6 - who is he kidding.

Did you just send out the @Tony Moanero signal?

Thread should be called ‘Endo - Wat Ar U?’

He’s clearly tidy rather than someone who is going to have a spectacular highlights reel when he goes. 
Nonetheless, I’m already hoping the club produce a short Twitter video when he leaves which is captioned Endo An Era. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Was he carrying a knock today? Seems odd he couldn't get on.

[Trojan1892]

I’m hoping he settles in and then we snap his young mate up in the summer from Sociedad.

 

Kubo is going to be fucking class, perfect replacement for Mo

Was made up when we scored the goals so he seems a good lad. Will probably start on Thursday

[Ne Moe Imya]

I said when we bought him that we didn't need him to be a player who could win us a match, we just need him not to lose us any matches. Looked pretty comfortable being exactly that today:

 

 

[Section_31]

Japanese player with French commentary. Fuck you Braverman.

[TheHowieLama]

I remember when he was slower than Fabinho.

Good players get better around better players. We could have a proper player on our hands here. Even if we only get two years out of him. 

 

Klopp built a squad that won everything, world champions etc. He's building a second one here and we should all strap ourselves in.
