Welcome Endo

[super_xabi]

He looks comfortable passing with either foot which is a bonus (obviously favours his right) but spread a few with his left too

[Buzzo]

He is a different type of CDM to Fabinho, certainly looks more rounded in terms of his passing ability.

That second half was encouraging.

Living the dream

“The system is different, the game is faster and my position here is a little bit higher than it was.”

“The manager doesn’t want me to just stay in front of the defenders. I have to go higher and try to get the ball all the time.”

“Here we have to win every game, but I don’t feel pressure as a result of that. I am humble, but I have the mentality that I’m here because they believe in me. It’s exciting to be a part of it. This is my dream and I’m enjoying it. We have done great so far.”

Love how he gets the ball smashed into his face and doesn’t even flinch

Purely based on this highlight’s video, he is someone we would buy

[little dave hedgehog]

quiet night from him? i was listening to comms but not watching. don't remember hearing his name much. was working tbf, maybe they did.

[Buzzo]

He did ok. Gave the ball away easily a few times but looked to play some incisive passes forwards also.

[danperkins]

Everything with him is just too slow.

Hey Garrett . I thought he did ok. He's no Fabinho at his peak, but he does a job. No would mention him, as there wasn't much to mention if you know what I mean?

I'd find it hard to pick him in my starting XI for any game if I'm honest, but he does work hard.

His pass completion always seems to be around the 80% mark when I feel like it should be in the 90s given how most of his passes should be 5/10 yarders!

[rudedog]

He's a defensive midfielder playing against a side that had 27% possession, not really surprised he had a quiet night

[calvoboy]

Thought he had a decent game. I noticed him doing some good work during the first half and always making himself available for a pass. Obviously had **** all to do in his main defensive role though.

I think he's made a decent enough start for us, not played his way into the first eleven yet but nothing to get upset about either.

Endo the day some of our best players have needed a season to settle in.. lower quality players took time to come good too (crouch an obvious one) so I’m fine seeing how he goes, too early to write off I think

[Charly]

He runs like he is chasing someone who nicked his lunch money

Maybe they did, or is that we all look the same to him?

[Charly]

Eh?

I just think he is too short to play DM. We need someone with a long stride and height to cut out those long ballsover the top. He is short and runs a bit slow, or is well off the pace
