Leider gibt es keine Kommentarfunktion. Ein "Told you so, wankers" wäre mir ein Vergnügen.
Ist leider besonders ein Paradebeispiel dafür, dass mehr stats den Fußball nicht wirklich anschaulicher werden lassen:
Now there is a specialist to shield the backline and with Endo putting in an average of 2.2 tackles per 90, ranking fifth of all Liverpool players in the Premier League this season, it’s no wonder that a Reds side that had struggled a little to keep opponents out have since tightened up immeasurably. Indeed, Liverpool have conceded just three shots on target in their last three league matches, and seven in the five games Endo has played the full 90.
In Liverpool’s high-octane approach under Klopp, Endo is a calming presence. Not only has he proven himself a capable ball winner but he recycles possession effectively, too. A return of 62.5 passes per 90 ranks sixth for the club, while an 85.7% pass success rate is solid enough, though does need refinement. Conversely, this can be attributed to Endo adjusting to the rigours of a new league in a team that sees more of the ball than his previous side.
Jeez...
