    Not a minute. Not good for him if he will become a sub good for FA/Community Shield Cup.

    Nothing to worry about till now. Liverpool were playing not good and has quite trouble against Ipswich till the 1-0. Endo will likely work himself back into the starting 11. Or at least he will get the chance. Lets see what happens in the next games.

    Dont think that Gravenberch could stand against Endo at the end of the day.

    By the way fans were "shouting" for Endo the first 45th minutes cause they said Gravenberch and MacAllister are no real 6 and they struggled against Ipswich. Wataru has a big standing there after only 1 season.

    Yeah, right, hope he will break into the first team nontheless and change coaches mind.

    He blocked his transfer.

    Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp back in July, is believed to be keen on bolstering his midfield and there has also been speculation that Endo could move on just 12 months after joining the Reds.

    The 31-year-old was the subject of failed bids from Marseille earlier this summer - but Slot has now stressed that the Japan international still has a big role to play after handing him his first minutes of the season in Sunday's 2-0 win over Brentford.
    Speaking post-match, Slot said of Endo: “It is not always about the player himself, it’s also about the competition he faces. We have many good midfielders like we have many good players.

    “We are really pleased with the way Wata is training for us but he has some good competition and I think you saw today a good performance from all three midfielders, so it is not always about him – it is also about the others.

    “He will be important for us during the season because we need all of them; we all know how long a season can be over here and how many players you need – and he is one of them that we are going to need in the upcoming season.”

    Pool will not play Club Worldcup. I read this statements as "Wata is FA Cup/Community Shield fodder" nothing more.

    Lets wait and see. Endo is first fodder, when he is fodder.

    Till now Endo was breaking into every starting line-up, no matter what, no matter where.

    Yeah thats right, for now he has lost his normaly cemented starter spot. But remember his beginning at Stuttgart in the second league, he was the first games also a unused benchwarmer but then....

    Liverpool lose yesterday 0-1 against Nottingham. Interesting situation, with the up coming english weeks/many games it could be Endos chance to swipe up into the starting line-up and maybe cement his place again.

    It looks more, that Slot dont like to change the CDMs for another CDM not that Endo is the 5th or 6th option.

    Cause often Liverpool struggle under slot offensly and then he changes almost all 4-5 offensive players or LB/RB.

    Whats the reason ? Injured? Sick? When he is only left out, Slot is an idiot. You cant handle a player from a calibre of Endo like this. Now its okay to worrie, when thats the case. Cause Endo is a great player and with great attitude. Yeah maybe he doesnt fit in your system but it would be embarassing to handle him like that.

    But in which system a Endo wouldnt fit is also a miracle.

    By the way fans are shouting and singing already for Endo. He has a great standing there, cause he played a very good season.

    Yeah I know. But Slot clearly does not want him. He should leave soon. It was a fun ride under Klopp while it lasted.

    And him being put on for 2-4 minutes every now and then is just shite, even if he hasnt done anyhing with it really. Hard of course.
