Liverpool had a midfield reshape this summer but we all knew that one of the hardest players to replace would be our vice captain James Milner.
Speaking on LFCTV’s ‘Review Show’ though, Neil Mellor discussed Wataru Endo and said: “Some people have likened him to Milner because he is the person that covers the most ground”.

It’s clear that Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of our No.3, as he said this week: “his passing is really good, his awareness is really good”.
Time will tell whether the Japanese international can get anywhere near the legacy of the current Brighton player but it’s not a bad man to be compared to at this stage of his Anfield career.
