Liverpool: The team had a busy week, facing Spurs in the Carabao Cup semi-final and then breezing past Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup. Arne Slot made some bold choices, leaving out key players and still managing a 4-0 win.

Youngster Rio Ngumoha stole the spotlight with a standout performance, while Federico Chiesa netted his first goal for the club. Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai also got valuable game time, which was crucial for their development.

Wataru Endo, who played in an unusual position, showed he could handle the center-back role well. He had a solid game against Spurs, even though they had some strong attackers on the field.

While the Accrington match was a bit of a mismatch, Endo’s performance against Spurs proved he can step up when needed. With Joe Gomez out and other players struggling, Liverpool needs all the defensive help they can get.

Endo’s versatility could be a real asset. He’s played center-back before, and with the right support, he could fit in there again. The team is considering bringing in another center-back, but it’s tricky since they already have a crowded squad.

If Endo can keep performing well in defense, it might ease some pressure off the team. It would mean Ryan Gravenberch would have to keep playing a lot, but that’s already been the plan under Slot.
