Thought Endo played well enough for a guy making his first start of the season. Got his foot in, kept in simple. Not as eye-catching as Gravenberch in that role, but he recycled the ball well enough and made it difficult for West Ham to play through.

[@Skhan-io6ng]

He’s always done well when called on. People tend to overlook with 7 games to go last season we were with a genuine chance of winning the league with him as the holding midfielder.

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

@@Skhan-io6ng Its todays footy fans in a nutshell, you need different options considering how we got him he was superb last year, he fell off as most did towards the end and had a bad pre season but hes no where near the liability some seem to think he is. Always the same with defensive midfielders. I remember Hamman getting slated his first season , especially nowadays with peoples obsession with the new shiny Fifa ratings type signings.

[@Skhan-io6ng]

@@UnclePhillyMyAss spot on.

[@DC.15]

Yessir. I think endo supplements a player like gravenberch, opposed to replacing. Different strategies for different games, I guess

[@splinter360]

​@@Skhan-io6ngWe were but let's not kid ourselves we rode our luck massively to be in that position. We conceded far too many big chances and lacked control of games. All our games were basketball matches and Endo didn't help that.

[@xain86k70]

These guys always lose me when they start psychoanalysing the thought process of a manager or players lol.

[@rmuilenburgmuilenburg2751]

Don't make the same mistake as Klopp with Atalanta. Don't underestimate Bolonga, go strong

[@scotti81uk29]

Neil 'the idea of' Atkinson back in full flow 😂. Good show guys

[@LB-db9sl]

I think connor bradley is so good it's hard to think how he's ever gunna get in at RB with trent still here and as young as he is. Would love arne to start training him on the left side, bradley and diaz/gakpo is a seriously tenacious combination

[@TR4zest]

If Trent doesn't sign, the position will be Bradley's.

[@fitzbarbel]

Why retrain a right back when you have serious young talent already playing at left back...know your club, lad!

[@paulscanlon7287]

he is not going to be able to play at left back the way he plays at right back. he would be a completely different full black. the only player who was able to do that was Maldini, who was naturally right footed. Bradley is not Maldini.

[@BellumEtPacem]

Chiesa last night reminded me a little of a young Dalglish

[@thelmaviaduct]

Got the same bent over gait.

[@aaront9778]

the B team is alright ain't it

[@aidan9123]

Don't know how Neil watched that and thought Slot will be comfortable resting VVD now. I think quite the opposite.

[@nicholashaycraft7155]

I want Morton starting over Endo. Endo was a stop gap for last year, he was great for what he was, but the youngsters need game time more.

[@KayZenShoGün]

I think West Ham was intended as a banana skin for us and then we go and do that to them with a second string side. At the final whistle, I had some fears that we'd get an even tougher draw and I was proven right. Brighton are strong this season and will take some beating.

[@johnamcinerney]

book landed through letterbox today 'the idea of'

[@garycarey9376]

Lads, Gomez was terrible what game did you watch

[@Skhan-io6ng]

He was better than Quansah.

[@lincolnwilson8124]

The defence deserves a lot of credit for Wednesday night. New personal playing together in front of their new manager. Not much game time so far this season has to make you nervy and they played well?. Tsimikas always makes me nervous!. Can’t have 2 amazing players for each position though!.

[@Farkmaster]

Re: klopp and rotation, i think hed have been fine with more elite attacking talent, but the three of them had wages that precluded that.

[@dennismartin5861]

Our team's are good yknow

[@davidjacksmith7171]

I expect most of our best performances this season will come away from home. Clearly most teams will come to Anfield and play really deep, and it will be a slog to break them down.

[@AlexM-YNWA]

It's early yet, but I'm tempted to say this is the best squad depth we've had in years. We moved on a bunch of youngsters and fringe players in the summer and ended up with a cup side with 8 changes of premier league starters. Brilliant. I feel like Slot has us moving in a direction that I'm so on board with. Gakpo incredible last night. Jones also needs much praise he was excellent. YNWA

[@j.s3300]

Considering squads have got bigger over time. Then it’s probably the best squad depth we have ever had

[@nabillarif]

We always had a good squad but we always has so many injuries.. Slot's medical department is doing an awesome job

[@deethebee80]

We moved a number of players on and bought in 1 player. How is there more depth - it’s impossible !! ??

[@geoffprocter5051]

We haven’t played a top 6 team yet but the signs are promising. I think when Bajcetic returns we have 2 good/excellent players for each position. The weakening position is left back Tsimikas is ok but nuts Andy has been great but I think he is waning from his outstanding past. The manager has done exactly the right thing…his own thing whilst respecting all those/that was good.

[@siempra78]

Bar Chiesa this is still last season's squad. The main thing that has changed is the Injuries. We're rotating first teamers for squad players instead of dragging youth players, because we can't pick Thiago, Keíta, Ox or someone recently injured.

Mein Mann versuchte, eine Szene aus einem romantischen Film nachzustellen, in der sie sich gegenseitig mit Erdbeeren füttern. Wir endeten in einer regelrechten Essensschlacht mit Schlagsahne und Schokoladensauce. Das war knapp, oder🐱

[@leecolburn7849]

How does Neil watch that and think Gomez was class?… The drop from VVD and Konate to the others is massive.

[@lincolnwilson8124]

Gomez was solid I thought and played well. I’m a huge Gomez fan and wish people would stop bashing him as he never gets a solid run in his chosen position.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

Konate was woeful last season, Matip was ahead of him until he got injured.

[@leecolburn7849]

@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669 Absolutely. Gutted for Matip. If he stayed fit he might have got another year extension.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

@@leecolburn7849 Yeah he was great wasn't he? Assisted Divock's goal against Spurs in the CL final too, class!

[@NaimAhmed-l7w]

I would much rather have Gomez as Trent cover than Bradley, the hype around Bradley is totally unjustified, his defensively poor and technically not that great and physically still needs to fill out, Bradley still has a lot to learn as does Quansah, they have potential not saying bin them, but lets not hype players up to such a level just because of a few good performances. Tsmikas technically is far better than Robertson but every other aspect he is very poor another player who has potential but considering how long he has been at LFC he is not showing the progress he should by now, but under Lignders abysmal coaching whilst Klopp was manager no surprise either lets see under Slot and his coaching staff coaching him if he shows progression on the areas he is weak at if not, then he can't be kept around just because the players like him. Ideally we need to bring in a player who is better than Robo so Robo can become the backup, if Tsmikas fails to show progression, Like to see way more of Morton though he looks like barring any serious injuries can become a top player.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

😂😂😂😂Klopp and Lijnders won us everything. Baldy has won nothing. And if you don't rate Bradley you don't understand football.

[@fahedal-ajmi4015]

Endu showed why Arne is not selecting him, he caused WH goal and was awful especially in the 1st half.
