Liverpool analysis after the 3-1 Premier League victory against Bournemouth at Anfield
"We need you. We really need you, and your heart, and your legs and your football ability and your football brain. Your desire, we need it."
This is nothing new, with the Reds struggling with such issues throughout pre-season, and for large chunks of last season too truth be told. The hope is a natural holding midfielder will resolve such shortcomings, but that is by no means a guarantee as Liverpool continue to adapt to a new 3-2-2-3 formation while building a new-look engine room.
Having first looked to Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia before settling on the VfB Stuttgart man, it would be a gamble if Endo ended up being Liverpool’s final midfield recruit. It’s still clear they need further reinforcements in defence also. But for all the similarities, it was same but different from Klopp’s men against the Cherries as they picked up their first win of the season.
Meanwhile, Klopp would play down injury fears regarding Alexander-Arnold after the final whistle, revealing he hopes the full-back will be okay after being on the receiving end of a painful kick.
