Wataru Endo has been limited to a fringe role, not starting a single game in the Premier League or the Champions League this season. So, the Carabao Cup is the competition where he can shine.
The tenacious midfielder impressed Liverpool fans massively with his display in a hybrid role in the first half.
Now, there is a section of fans calling for Arne Slot to get Endo more involved in bigger games.
OgKangs: “30-year-old relatively unknown Japanese CDM for 13m that wears a gumshield outta nowhere, it’s a little specific but that might be my fav genre of signing”
HighlyBaked0: “How can you not be romantic about Wataru Endo”
elGueroWey: “If Slot doesn’t like Endo after this showing I dunno what to say”
DogmaticMagmaFox: “Endo is playing like a man possessed, proving he has what it takes to be considered by Slot”
Argo_Menace: “Endo playing like he’s in the final of the Copa Libertadores. Love it.”
ducktownfc: “Why can’t Endo be 4 years younger!??? Proper destroyer, he’s playing every minute like it’s the 90th”
wadonious: “I understand why Endo doesn’t play more, but it’s such a shame. He’s an incredible destroyer, responsible enough with the ball, and has absolutely no business winning as many aerial duels as he does”
