the guy wears a mouth guard, you know who does that? Boxers. Boxers wear mouth guards and Endo wears that because he's a beast, he comes prepared to lunge into tackles and bust ups, I love it.
U nailed it he is a boxer qnd I remember whn he was bought a lot of kopites looked down on him bcs of his price but boom he is now e dm permanently
He’s a Mascherano replacement……monster monster
It's a psychological tool to help him switch on for games

What impressed me the most about Endo, is how well he reads the game in the opposition's final third. He has to be positioned so well it's almost instinctive to know where he should be 5 seconds before Liverpool lose the ball. Every time the opposing team wins the ball back he'll somehow pop up and stick his legs in to win it back or make a foul to stop the counter.
It's quite insane, I don't remember seeing anyone doing it this well. There are plenty of DMs who can win the ball back in their own half but this is just sensational stuff, the consistency is unheard of, what's crazier is that he's not that quick, it shows what an intelligent player he is.
He's like a modern shoeless Joe Jackson. He read where the ball would go by watching the body shape of the batter.
I'm Japanese.Endo is Japanese legend for sure. When I see him play in Anfield, I cry. I didn't expect that Japanese player play in such a big club 15 years ago. I respect livepool
And you wanna make me cry, too. What a compliment to my club. Ynwa❤
Nakata,nakamura,kagawa n ono ?😊
@@Vongreimbf109 Maybe he's an endo believer lol
Its because he is the captain of Stuttgart one of Klopps favorite teams, his local team i believe. So he knows Endo well.
I really like the Japanese national team when they are at the world cup. Solid technical skills and good quick passing between small quick players. It is a style that causes headaches to the big strong lumbering defenders found on most European teams.
I had strong hopes for Endo, and he really delivered.
Endo said after playing eight consecutive games in a japanese interview in January.
'I am not a player with a promising future like MacAllister or Szoboszlai and I don't care about being a starter.
I am only focused on simply fulfilling the opportunities and roles I am given.'
I suppose Klopp didn't bring him in because of his skills or scoring ability or something, but it is this desire to think "first of all for the team and not for himself".
I would say it's easy to understand if you compare it to Manchester United. What they lack is players with exactly the same mindset as Endo.
Finally, even most Liverpool fans forget that Endo did not play pre-season for Liverpool.
How much time did Fabinho and Keita spend fitting into the team?
Endo is only a couple of months, coming from another league.
He is a player who came in to replace Caicedo because we couldn't get him. Imagine how much pressure that must have been. It would be, by analogy, as much pressure as joining Liverpool to play as a replacement for Salah.
Endo is just a priceless player with "the true liverpool mindset".
❤❤❤❤❤
Well said 😊😊
That awesome Japanese mindset!
well said, but as in the video, seems people thought that Endo was the replacement for Milner, and that gives Endo time to fit in..
Great players can adapt very quickly... without needing any pre-season.
Endo captained Stuttgart. He also captains Japan. So we should never have underrated him. A key sign of his toughness is he always wears a mouth guard - a clear sign that he is not to be messed with.
So that he would not bite like Suarez . . =D
Honestly everyone underrated him that he wasn't at a top team and we got a bargain. Seriously how did the majority of scout miss him? I never heard of him but how did a mid table PL team not discover him and take a chance on him?
@@user-hx3ko7vj4y I think there is a bias towards finding young obviously athletic players that could be sold for a big transfer fee to the big boys. And there is a bias about nationality, not so much against Japanese, but young English, German, Spanish, French, Italian players automatically get rated more highly than other nationalities. Mo Salah suffers from the same, not because people are anti-Egyptian specifically, but because there are pre-conceptions about what a Great Forward would look like and where they are from.
True but when you can nab a player of quality for cheap, you take it. No doubt a mid table team could have gotten his full peak years at a good price. How the heck we got him so cheap, amazing.@@ComradeOgilvy1984
neither the bundesliga nor the international games with japan are at the level of the top of the english plastic league, he needs to sharpen up a BIT on the ball!
I am proud of Endo's success and at the same time worried about him next season. Shinji Kagawa, one of the few Japanese players to move to a big club, also saw his career continue its downward spiral after Sir. Ferguson left ManU. I hope Endo will not be the same case as him next season when Klopp leaves.
I really appreciate the combo of Endo and Macca. They both can play together.
Endo proved all his haters wrong is the best thing i can see. Put respect on his name
This girl would put many a tv pundits to shame. You have great knowledge of the game. Keep doing what you do
He’s and absolute beast in there! Hell of a signing, let alone for £16m! How has a bigger team not looked at him before?
ENDO you are a true samurai warrior end of one by one you slice every opponent in every team we play top top man endo your a true red brother i deefo see a long future with endo with LIVERPOOL
Endo is a very complete midfielder. Ironically he is the no6 we needed. He also has the right mentality for a Klopp team. Another national team captain. Proper warrior. Unlike rat face.
The fact Endo was captain of Japan gave me a lot of hope he would turn out well. The Japanese team is very good technically, with a lot of quick passing between small quick players that give the tall & strong European teams big headaches. While he is no creative genius, a mobile DM who can find pockets of space in front of the opposition box is a superb partner for the more creative players on the squad. He helps the talent around him play better.
Not only is Alice's content spot-on (good research, knowledge and analysis), but she is also big enough to admit that she (amongst many others including LFC fans) was gloriously wrong when we signed Endo.
I was unsure about Endo but he has proven me wrong. Come on Liverpool YNWA!
For the fee we paid, we got a helluva lot more than I expected. We've sold fringe players for more than what we paid for Endo lol
I didn't think he was going to be bad but I certainly didn't think he was going to be this good
@@greyman6353 We got £19m for Solanke and £15m for Ibe, from Bournemouth 😂
Solanke is proving his worth@@Nite-owl
@@frenchiealleyne7365 I didn't say he wasn't. Just that it was exactly the same fee that we paid for Endo. Considering he'd scored one solitary goal for us at the time, it was an amazing deal for us at the time.
As a Liverpool fan I have to say that your comments on LFC are fantastic. Your a proper pundit. Better than half of them on TV. And your ability to praise the "enemy" is a credit to you. You give respect were it's due regardless of the team. If watching a lot more of you kids recently and I wish you all the best for your channel and I honestly think you deserve a seat on the sky sports couch.
Endo is the Gini replacement, finally.
Does all the hard work for the team and goes under the radar
We’ve always had this type of player in the past, especially in our more successful teams, Whelan, Houghton, Case etc. They are often the uncelebrated stars but vital for maintaining momentum.
Spot ON😅
Adoro Gini, jogador subestimado
Great point on Endo unlocking MacAllister
Underrated signing, the Liverpool scouting department came through again
Profound analysis, totaly agree, but no one should be surprised, I saw him play in the Bundesliga and he's the real deal. Greetings from Germany
I can't emphasise enough how i appreciate your devotion to your work, the attention to detail, clear detailed information, the eye for the things most won't see. Keep up the magnificent work.
Endo’s football sense is amazing!!🇯🇵
I never thought I’d see such rational analysis from a Man Utd fan, but here you are. Look forward to see your other football opinions.
Slowly you becoming the best football analyst
From Milner replacement Fabinho upgrade, Wataru Endō 🇯🇵
Endo...a Samurai at defense & a Ninja at attack...he's just like Nunez...always hunts for the ball & is everywhere
hope to get another Samurai , Mitoma or Kubo.
Nice analysis on Endo. Well thought out commentary.
Полностью согласен. Очень не хватило Эндо в игре с Арсеналом. Был бы совсем другой рисунок игры.
Endo's first couple of games for LFC were when he was thrown in, when we were one man short, and shored up, except against Spurs where we scored an own goal with 9 men on the pitch in the dying seconds. Up until then LFC were frustrating to penetrate for Spurs.
Happy you pointed out his ability winning headers and not only that but use them to make passes. For a guy that small he has the same ability as Jota to win headers. Also scored a long distance header winning a duel in the box.
As great an analysis as I had expected, Alice.
First few games he could not anticipate where other players were, so he could not safely turn with the ball and play it forward. Now that he has tuned in to the other players, his speed of progression is very good. He does not progress the ball out of the back quite as quickly as Fabinho did (he is not as good under high pressure from behind), but Endo is more mobile so he finds more pockets of space high in the opposition half. He is also a better quick passing player than Fabinho. Overall he is an upgrade.
Matip scored the own goal vs Spurs not Endo mate
@@Stev4e897 I am well aware of that. No where did I say Endo did.
It's about time LFC supporters started supporting Klopp's 'know-how' in relation to players he brings in. He obviously noticed Endo in the past and seen him as a great DM who has the Japanese 'never say die' attitude. The man is a machine as Klopp said and his output is 110%, every game! For me he is the signing of the season across the PL.
Very quickly becoming my 'go to' creator for Liverpool content! Keep up the great work! Love the in depth analysis.
As usual Alice, unbiased and supremely informed analysis. The best around.
After watching the Burnley game at Anfield, it was crazy seeing the difference between how Endo plays and how Hendo used to play. The progressive passes & always looking to break the lines forward. Hendo was Captain Backpass in the 6, nearly always passing back or to the side. Endo loves to push it through the middle % doesnt hold on to it, which will only help the likes of Mac, Curtis, Dom, Harvey, and the forwards.
Our current midfield knows how to attack empty space and ask for the ball. That's what frustrate me in previous season that the likes of Hendo just drop a few yard to receive a safe pass and when they got press after the safe pass they just decide to go backwards and keep recycling over and over. Our game flow was abit stale because of that but not this one currently. the ball is always going forward even the space is small. One thing I'm really upset about this season is our playstyle this season suits Thiago the most from the past midfield but he just can't get himself fit.
Endos football brain is elite
no full respect to alice… very unbiased… knows her stuff and deserves praise… i genuinely hope your channel goes from strength to strength…. mark my words this lass will be on tv soon… ynwa
Imagine if Klopp signed Endo when he is a bit younger, Klopp would turned Endo into one of the best DM's out there, considering how good he is now.
But I also didn't think Endo would impact much when he was signed, I thought he was more legs on the bench but I was wrong he is amazing!
I don’t think I have ever loved an unsang Hero Endinho has become the player that want me to watch Liverpool every game..
Such an intelligent player. He is like a Lucas Leiva or a masha
Endo is the center of counter pressing, many attacks start from his feet, he doesn't stay long with the ball and that means the enemy's defense doesn't have time to organize.
I think you are a Secretly fan of Liverpool 🎉🎉🎉
No never. I am just honest.
Lol
@@ECILAFootball You are a true fan of football, Alice, and you know your stuff, which is quite a rarity.
Liverpool fans just love hearing Alice say ' I hate Liverpool ' after Liverpool wins .
@@davidhulley7918aa😊😊😊 True
🌟 LFC fans adore Alice's phenomenal analyses 💯 ..
Yeah, we've missed that important link up player. I have seen in the past (that really makes me feel nervous and raises my heart rate) defenders just constantly passing back to each other and side-to-side than, transitioning quickly into a more advanced area. The danger of this is a lapse in concentration and for opposition to press and pounce on dithering. It's a simple Number 6 we have needed. Endo has been worthwhile of his position.
Thats a sharp thought. Endos headed passes to a teammate is very high..so ball recoveries are brilliant
yes we sure have a bargain from ali express called LEGENDO HUH 6:17 🤣🤣 what a BEAST FROM THE EAST and h caled LEGendo was only a natter of time getting use to the prem and now we seeing what he came do YNWA!!
When we signed endo there were alot of doubters and i said on multiple channels including liverpool fan channels that this guy was a player having watched him play multiple times ,just because he wasnt a well known name people were judging him,i said he would be a perfect player for us and thats turned out to be the case,you dont have to spend millions and millions on a player just because he gets over hyped ,you look for a player who works hard for your team and fits into how you want to play to benefit your team and i think endo has done that imo
You are a brilliant football analyst.
Nice analysis again Alice, Endo / MacAllister looking like great value for money
It’s great to watch him get up to speed. No one ever questioned his work ethic or work rate. You don’t captain club and country without those. I was hoping for someone who’d just screen the defense and get rid of the ball as soon as he won it. I didn’t realize his passing was this good. Or his ability to hold off the press. He’s really been a breathe of fresh air.
Japan causes a lot of headaches to European teams with small quick players making quick passes. What surprised me is how quickly he adapted to helping the offense with short passes at the top of the box.
Alice prime example of beauty with brain
Haha thanks
W Rizz
Please put on some make up ..not that you are ugly but to show your potential 😅
For brain...I give her 9.5/10...no one is perfect...but for beauty...it's definitely 10/10...what can I say...she's already beautiful without makeup
@@leslielee876 nah we like her for how real she is ....i love that she doesnt care what others think about her looks without make up and stuff ....
endo is sensational he is world class at what he does
@charles.....world class? 😂
@@englanduk6131yes world class.
@@sangdodong 😂😂😂😏
also notable is that he does not get injured at all. iirc the only times he's been out during his time at stuttgart were concussions and covid. I think endo can play full-back and centre back if need be, so given how injury-stricken the liverpool squad is, he is going to be vital
Best summer signing we made.
I was literally waiting for this video to drop. The Samorai Warrior keeps on cooking.
Great you made the Endo vid, much appreciated!!
I don't question Klopp's choices, he's done his homework, made his choices, has ideas on his choices how he wants them to fit in, leave it to him. One apparent choice I did question was SO MUCH for both Caicedo and Lavia. I never felt they were worth that much at all, and was elated we didn't go through with both deals. Especially with what we ended up picking up instead, to add to what we already have. Speaks for itself.
Endo is new, he is just playing safe atm.... minimising mistakes. Besides there's other players further forward who can ball carry, however IF Endo is in the 1st team plans next season he'll be controlling games. YOU WATCH, mark my words!
Love this, it was bang on! What's always irritated me is that there's always been top level Japanese ballers but none of them have been given their flowers. Nakata was a prime example. Had this dude been south American on Spanish etc you'd never here the end of it. Pundits and analysts need to show some respect to this nationality it's bloody 2024.
Superb video.
When I first saw him, against Newcastle, I was 😮 'who is this guy?'.
I was very impressed but then started hearing 'knowledgable' fans dissing him, saying he was struggling.
Started doubting myself, but knew the guy was good. Hopefully he can help us to no. 20
🤞
I called it. Dude filled in as a Center Half on the Japanese national team. 30 in Japanese years is 27 in mere human years. Dude won’t start slowing down until he is 33. Even if Liverpool changes systems, he will sit there and protect (insert long passer in the midfield) and provide stability.
You know football. Great video!!!
Am glad you have given Endo the credit that he well deserved; unlike all these pundits/commentators 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I recall Mc allister did lose the ball numerous times ; it was bad but I can’t remember which games they were though!
Your analysis is so spot on as to how good Endo is and how he has made Macallister an even better player (even though he is "out of position" as most people say) and so consequently Liverpool have been an amazing team this year once they all got settled in and used to each other! You're the best babe!!!
Someone whosl hasn't seen your videos, might just assume you are a Liverpool fan, to which you would probably say "You're JOKING" 😂.
Unbiased analysis.❤
Klopp rarely buys duds. He has the ability to turn good players into great ones.
Great exposition of why Liverpool were not the losers in those transfer 'battles' last year. Perhaps the only greater win in midfield was Arsenal's improvement after landing Rice. Transfers are two-edged. If your team doesn't get someone, it means a rival club has benefitted. Fortunately Liverpool have had a great record of buying players for less than others, and getting great returns.
Great analysis Alice!
Endo has been Liverpool's best midfielder so far this season.
YNWA..keep up e gd work so unbiased and true. Love your shows
Another brilliant piece of analysis. And you’re absolutely correct, I don’t think anyone expected to get such a player of such quality, for the money, including Liverpool probably!
It also really highlights the fact that clubs pay frankly ludicrous amounts of money for the likes of Caicedo, when there are other fantastic options available that are overlooked.
I agree that he should be a starter for us, and if he continues to play at the same level, he could be the one that carries us on to to major silverware, and will become one of our best ever signings.
She is gradually becoming a Liverpool fan. #YNWA
Great breakdown 👍
Cheers 🍻😀
Great analysis!
I genuinely can't thank you enough for this insightful analysis; better than any pundit I get tired of (Sky!) I have subscribed. Endo is the glue, and the one we need to link from defence to attack and be able to track back supplementing where necessary.
Endo is brilliant and is a brilliant 3-4 year option because he can help mentor Stef and Morton our next brilliant academy recruits off the AXA conveyor belt
You are amazing, I love your content! Keep up the good work
great depth analysis on endo other Big streamers havent got a touch on you keep up the great work, appreciate the work involved in the preparation.
Alice spot on you have brightened up my Monday morning too
Really good infostat analysis.
Your a good lass keep up the good work ynwa ❤
You are easily one of the top football related channels, unique in many ways, beyond informative, ahead of the pack and always engaging. Again, another absolutely top notch video!
Nice one..Such a good breakdown...Dare i say it even better than some LFC content creators..Very factual..Respect
As Defensive or Holding Midfielder, Endo has been performing excellently. His only weaknesses are severe lack of recovery pace and random lapses of concentration where he got pickpocketed. EPL's pace is notably faster than Bundesliga, that's why he was struggling in the beginning but now he has acclimated himself.
Liverpool will remain confident that they can win the league despite their current injury problems from GW 25. Their strength and resilience from having built a deep squad is incredible and a major advantage over both Arsenal and City. YNWA.
Thank you for making this vid! We really appreciate that you guys understand what Endo does!! Thank you!
Defo a Liverpool fan ! It’s cool, I mean who’d want to support Utd !!? YNWA 😉
Great analysis.
Thanks
A lot of what you said here I also witnessed in watching the Brentford game. I'm now convinced of becoming your subscriber.
Wow.. Fabulous analysis, Alice. You're not only the best female analyst, but I'm beginning to feel that you're overall the best in TH-cam.
Congrats on the 30K..Well deserved !! :)
You should have more subscribers,ur contain is very detail ❤❤
thank you :D
Big fan of the channel, in depth, honest insights in the games you analyse! Once you get a microphone, your views will skyrocket 👍.
This channel has taken off for you, well done Alice.👍
Love your breakdown of games & players. I hope the right people see you, so you can have your own show or with someone. (Similar to Mark's) good luck and thanks for all your video's.
This is excellent.
good player him
Yeah really been a lot better than expected
It surprises me that some of the best technical analysis I've heard is from a
Somehow i always end up watching Alice´s and Mark`s match review. Both beeing UTD supporters, they still make fair review. I guess they enjoy good football. You have a good understanding of the game and give some really good analyzis. Can I suggest a better mic for sound quality and slow down just a bit. Its just too much information at once.
YNWA Alice. A true RED
i like your reviews
Vyet again good unbiased non click bait analysis shame some liverpool so called fan sites are as good in fact not even close and im a liverpool fan
Study and evaluation are sometimes called analysis. In football, fair and insightful football evaluation is now being called an-Alice-is. 🙂
I'm Liverpool but I like your show respect from Dublin Ireland
Slow down Alice, I have to watch this vid at 0.75 speed to catch all the analysis 😂
That mapping should include aerial duels. He’s like 1 notch below a cb in the air
