So I hope Endo will play well at the beginning and give me a good publicity. Good luck with the book Diego, looks a real cracker. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I think Endo and Trent can be joined by Mac Allister, who might do better than them. I think it'll end up as Endo, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai as a midfield 3. Endo operating predominantly as the deepest of the three. Trent has been pushing up and inside, into central midfield, with Robertson shuffling over to make a 3 man defence (much like Burn does with us). From all I've watched and read about Endo, I've no doubt he's a decent player. I just think that with Liverpool's suspect defence and with the rest of the team so attack minded, they could ship a lot of goals. What they needed, in my opinion, was a true defensive midfielder. Unfortunately for them Chelsea fucked everybody by paying >£100m for Enzo Fernandez (at the time thought to be a defensive mid), which meant Rice and Caicedo weren't going for less than that. Liverpool were convinced to pay £100m for Caicedo, but there just aren't a lot of genuinely top tier DMs around that you could convince me are 'worth' £100m, even in this market. Mind you, we signed Tonali, Barnes, Livramento and Hall for a few million less than they paid for Caicedo and Lavia, so clearly Chelsea don't know what the fuck they're doing.

And I still think that Liverpool can try to bring in another more defensive midfielder. Amrabat? I don't know if there are many more on the market. Also that they will surely try to bet everything on the next great Midfielder project that comes out of the Premier or is English. It is the team that most needed an all-terrain midfielder and this summer Caicedo, Lavia, Bellingham or Rice have escaped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2311 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 They're supposedly after Cheick Doucoure off Palace, so obviously he is a more defensive minded player than perhaps Endo, who's more a defence minded 8 as some have suggested.

Amrabat would be a good signing for them, I thought he was most likely moving to Man Utd? Well the next all action Midfielder will be Lewis Miley and they can fuck right off 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
