    Do we have any evidence that anyone in the squad doesn't rate him as a captain?

    IIRC someone posted stats that suggested we do better when he is in the team which would suggest he is doing the job pretty well.

        He has had a couple of poor seasons compared to previous. I have the feeling if he cant recapture that form, this may be his last season. Personally I think Milner was our best leader last year... but then even he is not guarenteed a place. Not sure that we have an obvious replacement captain. I think Hendo should keep it for now

              Balo was right to take the ball as he rarely misses penalties, Henderson should have given it to him without a moment's hesitation. A captain should do what is right for the team, IE not even attempt to take one when you have a player that is better than you at a particular skill.

                  I'm not sure Lovren has the intestinal fortitude for the job personally. I think Can will serve as VC for now TBH.

                    The sole purpose of a Captain should be to pick heads or tails. Anymore than that is a glorified form of babysitting
                    The captain is a key link between the manager and the players.

                    The captain buys into the managers plan and plays his part to ensure the players follow it. I.e on the pitch. He must therefore be someone the other players clearly respect.

                    I think Henderson is about as good as we have for that role at the moment. And it's unfair to rule him out due to one incident two years ago. Bet a bollock he would react differently in the future.

                    He needs to play more though.. Big season for him.

                      There is a lot of subtle science that goes into making a group of winners, it starts at the top ... I lost count of the amount of times Stevie dug us out of the **** single handedly, he has steel, he has belief, he would have never tolerated Balo taking that ball no matter how young he was.

                      I'd give it to Emre ... he looks every bit Steven Gerrards successor... I looks like he should be on a ****ing Horse riding into battle ... in football thats a very important quality

                        tricky one that though.

                        Under Rafa we often performed better as a team without Stevie. Players didn't seem to want to take responsibility themselves. Almost too influential.

                        No perfect captain I guess..

                          I'm easy either way I dont think its as pressing as some people seem to think and to be fair to Jordan .. Balo is one of those characters that no man seems to be able to manage / control ... he would have learnt a lot from the incident

                            Yeah... can is too new and too young. Lets give Hendo the benefit of doubt, and see how it goes... A good team spirit is more important. In the 80s we had a team full of captains and it did not really matter who took the armband. Thats the sort of team we need to aspire to

                              At the moment I'm not sure that Henderson is an automatic starter, so questions about whether or not he is captain are somewhat moot.
                              The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                                True... is Milner even?
