Wataru Endo has hardly appeared since joining Liverpool, as explained by Jurgen Klopp.

Since moving from Stuttgart to Liverpool over the summer, Wataru Endo has only appeared in 91 minutes of Premier League action, and Jurgen Klopp has outlined why.

Despite the midfielder’s limited playing time this season, Wataru Endo is a “super-important” player for Liverpool, according to Jurgen Klopp.

Despite the midfielder’s limited playing time thus far this season, Wataru Endo has been deemed a “super-important” player by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Meanwhile, Ryan Gravenberch is being gradually brought up to speed after not getting enough playing time at his previous team Bayern Munich.

Endo, however, has only played 91 minutes of Premier League action since arriving at the club from Stuttgart in August, and Klopp has now given an explanation for why.

The Japan international was still getting used to life at Anfield, according to Klopp, who was speaking after Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over West Ham on Sunday and during which Endo made a late appearance off the bench in the 88th minute. Klopp also claimed that Endo’s “very calm and very polite” nature had “cost him the first two weeks.”. He insisted the 30-year-old “will start games” and is “not a short-term project” as well.

“He needs to adjust to the things here,” said Klopp. Wataru is an awesome guy who is extremely composed and gracious, and that cost him the first two weeks, possibly.
That’s now approaching. He isn’t 30 or anything, but he wants to get past a few people to join the team, and he is getting better every day.

You saw that today; he’s there, he’ll help us a lot, he’ll play games, he’ll start games, and all that sort of stuff.
It’s all good because he has already played in three or four games for us in a very short time.
Since this is a long-term project, that is what matters.
I’m thrilled to have Wataru because he is a crucial member of the team.

Liverpool has had a successful start to the season, drawing their first match against Chelsea before defeating Bournemouth, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Wolves, and West Ham.
They also started out well in the Europa League on Thursday, defeating LASK 3-1 after coming from behind.

And Klopp is delighted with his “crazy” options in his revamped Liverpool 2.0 side.
After the victory over LASK in Austria, he said, “I love the squad and I love the depth.

“We can still change 11 names for a team that is still without Trent, Conor Bradley, and Thiago.
It is totally absurd. If we have luck, and by luck I mean that everyone stays healthy, and we have 23 players at this level, we can react in all of the games, and we should always have a really good team on the field.
That is very appealing to me.

Positive outcomes, of course, contribute to a stronger sense of community. That is always the situation. We achieved our shared goals of being present and winning the gagame.

Jurgen Klopp praises the ‘super’ 21-year-old Liverpool player

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has praised debutant Ryan Gravenberch after he made his debut for the club in last night’s 3-1 win over LASK.

The 21-year-old played a central role in midfield and also provided a stunning assist to Luis Diaz to give Liverpool the lead for the first time in the match.

Even though it was the Dutchman’s first match as a starter in four months, you wouldn’t have guessed it as he put in a solid performance before limping off in the second half.

There was concern among Liverpool fans when they saw the 21-year-old midfielder being replaced, but Klopp insists it was just a cramp and not a serious problem.

Jurgen Klopp talks about “super” Ryan Gravenberch

Speaking to TNT Sports after the win, the Liverpool manager recognized the 21-year-old immediately after his performance.

“Ryan [Gravenberch] played a fantastic match and was really decisive for us.
“(He played) very well, I think it was his first start in a while and he did very well.

“He was the best player on the pitch for a long time and in the first half the frustration grew a little and you saw him get lost a little.

“But it’s normal, these things happen, but he stayed in the game as long as possible and had excellent moments.
He set up a nice goal for Luis Diaz and since he didn’t know much about his teammates, it looked pretty good.
Well .”

Gravenberch will make his first Premier League start on Sunday when the Reds host West Ham United at Anfield.
