“Fans Believe Wataru Endo Sends Strong Message to Arne Slot with Dominant Southampton Performance”
Wataru Endo has played a limited role this season, not starting in a single Premier League or Champions League match. However, the Carabao Cup has given him a platform to demonstrate his skills.
The hardworking midfielder caught the attention of Liverpool fans with an impressive first-half performance in a hybrid role. Now, many are urging Arne Slot to give Endo more opportunities in higher-profile matches.
Fans expressed their admiration for his performance:
- OgKangs: “A relatively unknown 30-year-old Japanese CDM for £13m who wears a gumshield out of nowhere – that’s my kind of signing.”
- HighlyBaked0: “How can you not love Wataru Endo?”
- elGueroWey: “If Slot doesn’t rate Endo after this display, I’m not sure what to say.”
- DogmaticMagmaFox: “Endo is playing like a man possessed, showing he deserves a chance under Slot.”
- Argo_Menace: “Endo’s playing like it’s the final of the Copa Libertadores. Love it.”
- ducktownfc: “Why can’t Endo be four years younger!? He’s a proper destroyer, playing every minute like it’s the 90th.”
- wadonious: “I get why Endo doesn’t feature more, but it’s a shame. He’s a brilliant destroyer, reliable with the ball, and winning more aerial duels than he should.”
