The Dutchman produced an excellent all-round display which included the fourth goal, as he continues a promising start since arriving from Bayern Munich. It was after a question on Gravenberch, during his post-match press conference, that Klopp made sure to give Endo his flowers, too. “I liked a lot of individual performances, but I would like to mention Wataru Endo,” he told reporters. I’m not sure people think that’s spectacular or whatever, but the forward passes he played tonight were absolutely incredible. And how often he broke lines with one touch, that was absolutely insane. “Then he scores a wonderful goal,…

It was polished by goals from…

Having played just eight games in the German top division, the 27-year-old has scored 14 times. Remarkable. Guirassy loving Endo goal We can laugh at Guriassy suggesting Endo is his goal scoring hero, but the truth is that the Japan captain actually has a decent scoring record. He might not have the look of a player who will get many goals, and he isn’t exactly Erling Haaland. But perhaps we can expect…
