      Who should replace Carragher as vice captain ?
      Feb 26, 2013 10:40:16 pm
      There's only 2 candidates for this IMO Luis Suarez and Lucas.

      A case can be made for both players.For the last 3  years Lucas has been one of our most important players both on and off the pitch.He's developed into a real influential player for us and is now possibly one of our most experienced players.

      Suarez on the other hand has already had the honour of captaining Ajax one of the biggest clubs in Europe at the age of 22 and has also had the honour of leading us out in the FA cup.

      Personally i'd give it to Suarez.Could the mods put up a poll ?

      I'd give it to Lucas.

      He is already vocal on & off the pitch. It was said as much there recently on TAW that the club are sort of grooming him for the role off of the pitch, having him do a lot of the PR work and the likes. But on the pitch, he is a leader, always taking to other players, helpful with younger players.

      I don't think Suarez has enough English or the calm-ness is certain situations to be a captain. He is not exactly referees best friend and his on field persona, and his almost hot-headedness might not be the best idea for out captain.

      Don't think Luis is right for it myself. I'd go Agger or Lucas.

      I'd like to say Reina but I prefer captains to be more involved on the park than keepers are.

      Lucas for me! He had a really rocky start to his career with us and had been written off by so many people but he didn't let it get to him and change his game or anything. He just kept his head down and kept working hard to improve and to show what he is capable of and now he is a vital member of the team and you really notice his absence if he isn't playing. He sures up the midfield and really gives the stability to the side to hold our shape when the other midfielders are pushing on. Right attitude, very good player and loves the club. Agger and Pepe would be the other candidates but over the last couple of years they haven't been their usual self's and unlike Lucas I am wondering whether of not they will remain at the club beyond the summer.

      Suarez obviously took the armband for a game this season but I'd rather he just had the responsibility of scoring the goals and winning us games rather than leading the team. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he isn't right for the job, just think it would be of more benefit to him and the team.

      Reina, Agger, Lucas, Suarez have to be the main men in contention you would think.

      Reina does a good job being vocal as a goalkeeper. I don't think he can be any more vocal. To me, we would need another player, allowing it to be Gerrard, Vice Captain and Reina.

      As much as I would love it to be Luis, I don't think he would be right. Let him focus on his own game without adding to his responsibilities. Has to be Lucas or After for me. I would tend to favour Lucas and, after hearing regular comments of Brendan, I reckon he could be a good shout.

       I agree with most views that it should go to Lucas, but a point to be taken into consideration is that Stevie Gerrard is winding down now so whoever is made vice captain should be groomed to take over off Stevie.

      Anyone who I can hear scream from my house with the windows shut.

      Alternatively,

      Dagger or Luis.

      For me, it has to be Agger as he can shown responsibility lately & with Carragher beside him, to remind him how to deal with situations. He seems vocal & has the respect of his peers at Anfield so naturally the progression to full time captain should lay with Agger until one of the local lads are in a position to take on the captaincy when Agger retires, of course!

      Give it to Luis, that will make him feel even more determined to help us push on.

      For me it would be between Agger and Lucas at the moment.
      Managers are always tempted to give it to players that may be looking to leave the club for pastures new in which case maybe Reina or Suarez may get it??

      I would give it to Agger he loves the club and stated recently that he wants to stay at Liverpool for the rest of his career. YNWA on his knuckles says it all. He really is a Red thorugh and through! DAGGER!

      Id say if Reina stays, he'll get it. Deserves another season here definitely too.

      Me too and probably in that order.

      Pepe would have been an automatic choice if I liked a keeper as captain but I don't.

      If your worried about our best player leaving the club in the summer for an opportunity to play in bigger and better competitions would influence your opinion at all? It would mine.

      Out of the candidates mentioned, i'd prefer Lucas tbh, having said that tho Luis would'nt be a bad shout either, he has LFC in his heart, you all seen how devastated he was to go out of Europe recently, having more responsibility could help him with his frustrations on the pitch and be more aware of his options in attack, don't get me wrong i'm sure Dagger has the same passion but Daniel is more prone to injury and sometimes he seems not at the races in games,
      Lucas comes across very well in his interviews and seems more at ease with the media, he is a sensible young man and knows what is expected from being a Liverpool player, also he is able to read the game better and have more of controlling influence, so my vote, if i had one would go to Lucas.

      Not a fan of Keepers as captains.

      I'd like to see Agger and Lucas as vice captains.
