Why don't people rate Henderson as a captain? A captain doesn't have to be the best player in the team. A captain should be somebody vocal and/ or who leads by example. Gerrard was never vocal but in his earlier years he put a shift in and led by example, covering every blade of grass.

Roy Keane had little to no actual skill. But he would die for the cause and if he saw anyone not pulling their weight dhe'd hammer them. Souness was the same except he matched his passion with ability.

Another key role a captain should play is being a role model to younger players.

Henderson is very vocal on the pitch and without him E. Can looks terrible. He runs himself into the ground for the team and is currently playing through the pain barrier. And off the pitch he sets a great example with commitment and good behaviour. I think he's a far better captain than Gerrard ever was. He isn't as technically gifted or capable of winning the game single handedly but one of Gerards biggest problems was he kept everyone else in line so he could be the hero. Whenever he played people were scared not to pass to him. He had a clause that he had to be the biggest earner!

Yes, Henderson needs to work on his finishing and final ball. But to question his leadership qualities is just ridiculous. The only better candidate for captain in our team is Lucas.

Completely agree EMS. I think he is an ideal captain and think that in a few years he'll be one of the top CMs in the league. He's still young and has a lot of potential.

To Say Keane had no skill is a dumb line mate. what's your take on Souness and Hansesn then? Liverpool Captains over the years were stand out performers and winners. When things go down well you look up to them. Henderson needs to work on his finishing? He has scored a might 1 goal this calender year and 19 foals in a tota1 150 appearence.
He got lucky with the timings of Gerrard retirement and his own fine season under Rodgers.
If Klopp gets a world clas CM to Partner Can, Then I am afraid he goes to the bench.

Just saying.

He's not half as talented as those players mentioned at the same age mate. To bring up Keane, Gerrard and Souness.
And then mention Jordan, he isn't going to be anywhere near as good as them. Not in a million years will he be as influential as them 3.
I like him, but he's not even the best midfielder at the club.

Not and never will be in the same hemisphere as Gerrard, Souness or Keane for that matter. Even when he was on the very top of his game in 2014 I had the opinion that a lot on here overrated him and I still have that opinion. I've always loved the lads attitude and work rate and I know he's been out injured and may take time to get back to his best but please stop classing him with some truly great players.
