ENDRICK TO LIVERPOOL? Craig Questions Real Madrid Transfer Deal

Late Night Live with Craig | Endrick Transfer Debate, Iraola's Tactical Problems and Ekitike Return

Craig returns for another edition of Late Night Live on Anfield Agenda, discussing Liverpool's January transfer options, Andoni Iraola's tactical approach and the challenges facing the Reds as they look to build momentum.

Real Madrid youngster Endrick is once again being linked with Liverpool, with reports suggesting the Brazilian could be available during the January transfer window.

Craig reacts to Fabrizio Romano's comments about Liverpool's previous interest and explains why he remains unconvinced about a potential deal, particularly if Real Madrid insist on including a buyback clause.

Should Liverpool pursue Endrick, or would their resources be better spent strengthening midfield and defence?

Attention then turns to Liverpool's performances under Andoni Iraola, with Craig analysing why the Reds sometimes struggle to control matches despite the manager's preference for aggressive pressing and quick attacking transitions.

Craig questions Liverpool's slow build-up play through midfield and discusses why the team needs to become more effective when facing opponents who defend deep.

There's also a major discussion about Hugo Ekitike's eventual return from injury.

While Craig believes the French striker could be an excellent fit for Iraola's system, he warns supporters against expecting an immediate return to peak form after such a lengthy absence.

The debate also includes Alexander Isak, with Craig suggesting Ekitike may be better suited to Liverpool's tactical approach, while Isak offers greater goalscoring potential.

Finally, Craig discusses Liverpool's attacking movement, Bradley Barcola's delivery for Florian Wirtz's goal against Crystal Palace and why he disagrees with Jamie Carragher's assessment of the cross.

Could Endrick become a Liverpool player? Does Iraola need to adapt his tactics? And which striker is better suited to the Reds?
