Maradona been saying that Messi should not be Captain of Argentina, as he is not a leader and right now they need a leader.
It is very true point your best player does not always make the best Captain.
to get someone who can combine the two is a blessing
I think in our team none of our best players would be the best Captain for our current team.

It's all about opinions, I just think that Roberto Firmino would be a sensational choice for captain, especially as Henderson has been replaced and may not get many starts next season.

I reckon Hendo will still make 40 appearances next season. No problem with him as captain at all. I would probably make Firmino vice-captain though because Milner will be a bit part player, if he even stays!

Can I ask what have you seen on and off the field from Firminho to back your point. Genuine query mate just interested in why people pick various players and say they should be captain?

Whoever is captain isn’t important.
Henderson will be here next season, he’s captain if he plays or not.
Milner will more than likely be here, he’ll be vice captain, regardless of if he’s on the field or not.
Klopp will, which he has shown before, pick a player to captain for the day if neither of the above play.
Maybe someone that needs a bit of a moral boost.
You don’t need an armband to lead, if you feel you do, that’s where there is an issue.

Firmino leads by example McGoveb. Gerrard didn't talk anywhere near as much as Henderson, but he always gave 100% and was capable of moments of inspiration. Firmino is like that too. He is the perfect role model in training and in matches. Apparently Firmino and Mane are two of the biggest personalities in the squad as well, constantly joking and getting on with literally everyone.

They could announce Karius has become captain, that would break the internet. Is there any sign of Henderson overcoming the injuries or is this is game now? I’m still a massive fan and we are a different beast altogether with him playing.

Next captain/ vice captain will be Van Dijk it was mentioned during the talks with him which is why he picked us over everyone.

Lol aoe imagine that mate Karius becoming captain, I'd laugh my head off at that, people would be doing backflips going off their heads.

Why would we replace a captain that just took us to a champions league final?

Henderson will play every game when he 100% fit.

If milner were to leave van dijk would most likely be the choice for vice captain and will probably be club captain at some point in the future.

We could well see van dijk and firmino have the armband at some points next season depending on circumstances.

Still struggle for what you believe a captain should be.

Gerrard was a fluke. A captain's job isn't to consistently bail out your team in cup finals 🤣🤣

All this moments of inspiration.

Nor is there job to completely organise the entire team.

It's not really a complicated job. It's about professionalism. Training hard, eating right, conducting your life well, no excessive drinking or partying.

Your captain is there for people to look up to. The captain's late for training, well I can be. The captain doesn't do this or does that, I will.

I'm talking about the younger players forming there professional life's.

Also the manager and the captain should be a double team. The manager does half the job of building a team system and team chemistry. The captain is there to enforce it.

In the changing room, god why's klopp done that or done this. Why is he making us run so much. I hate this. The captain's job is to get them into line.

and if I'm not f@#king mistaken we were in the champions league final last year. So ease the f up! This is our team, let others slag em.

MKS, they all lead by example, Many players have shown the same qualities as Firminho, Salah has definitely led by example winning awards for player of year. Lovren gets on with everyone and seems a great guy on social media why not him?

In the event that Milner goes I wouldn’t mind seeing AOC be the vice captain to Hendo. He interviews well, his work rate is always good even if his performances are not and he seems well liked. For me, a captain should be a CB or CM as I feel they are the positions that can the most of the pitch and can influence the players around them. Van Dijk seems to do a lot of pointing and shouting without moving himself into positions so not a captain for me yet. Not saying he doesn’t perform though before I get hammered.

1. Henderson will play. He integral to the way we play. Leads on the pitch. For doubters just at results when he is missing. It's why we needed fabinho, need for every position.
2. Love firmino, not a captain for me. His off pitch mis demeaners would for me bring the club in needed bad press. Drink driving is one of the worst crime for me. Like I say I love the guy, but captain, nah
3. VVD is nailed on to be next captain should we need one. Can see the game, is a beast, and has true leadership and drive.
4. This debate shows why lfc could mount a serious challenge next season. The team has a spine of leaders and winners. vvd, hendo, kieta, firmino, mane.

VVD must be the next captain.

A captain needs to be good at guessing the coin toss.

{Ed001's Note - and knowing which way round to kick at away grounds.}

The Natural, on what grounds should VVD must be capt. next season? Care to elaborate on that or are you just spouting into the wind to get a response. As for the OP's opinion, he is factually correct and his stance explains PRECISELY why Hendo is capt. and a darn good one at that. He was capt. before Bobbie, VVD and the other best players got here and will be capt. until further notice.

To all you guys who are convinced Henderson will start next season, and there are lots of you, were you all on holiday when Fabinho was signed? There must be a reason why we shelled out forty million .

Ritters of hale, Fabinho was signed to replace Emre can, and provide ample cover at rb. So I believe there’s every chance Henderson and Fabinho will play. Sometimes one without the other as well. A more realistic question should have been who should take the vice captaincy for when Henderson isn’t playing?
Due to our players World Cup commitments it’s highly possible that Milner Keita and Fabinho will start the first game of the season, meaning Milner will likely take the armband. I think people forget this is a squad game.

Last season we won lots of games when Hendo was captain and we won lots of games when he wasn't and others were. For me as long as the team harmony is on point and we are winning games I couldn't give 2 hoots who is captain. Team comes first before any player.

Ritters

Henderson bar any injuries that keep him out for a long time will most likely start just as many games in midfield as fabinho will.

Just because fabinho has signed it doesn't mean henderson won't start.

The two of them may very well start sitting behing keita with us going with an agressive front 4.

I personally would like to see henderson move up a space in a two with keita with fabinho behind.

In that formation fabinho can run from deep which he seems to be quite good at. henderson then being smart enough to cover in when needed.

Ox being out till november/ december is a bummer but keita and fabinho have been great additions to our midfield.

Competition for places can only be a positive thing but most importantly our midfield options have been greatly boosted. If fekir was to sign as well it is probably as good as it gets in terms of sorting out an area that we ended the previous season very thin on the ground.

Firmino doesn't speak English does he? Can't have a captain who doesn't speak the lingo.

Vvd has to be the next vice captain, he will be I think. Hendo is a brilliant captain.
