      I'd go with either Lucas or Agger but preferably Lucas. 

      For me it's not so much about having a voice on the pitch with other players, it's about approaching the officials in controversial situations, showing respect and being respected by the opposition and whether we like it or not respect for and from the media.

      I don't think Lucas' form since he came back from injury, justifies Vice Captaincy right now. I think Agger would be a better choice.

      Think I'd have to go with Lucas. Always comes to mind how he talked to the young full backs when they broke into the team, helping them through the game.  A player I hope stays until here until he retires.

      It's a tough question for any of us to really answer, Brendan will have to assess who's game would improve the most given the role, and who the others in the team would actually listen to and respect.

      My guess is that Luis wouldn't/couldn't try much harder and would be non plussed if overlooked. Lucas or Agger would probably benefit most from the confidence and feel they need to give more, be it effort and/or concentration.

      Don't see a reason to change it from who'd take the armband if both players were out at the minute. Pepe since Sami left as been the man to take the armband when both Carra and Stevie have been absent. He loves Liverpool and is clearly a massive influence in the dressing room.

      I personally, prefer a CM or CD as captain but can only see possibly Lucas having any chance of being name ahead of Pepe.

      Downing because he's world class.


      Steps back out of the twiglight zone.

      Think it will be Suarez, Rodgers has already handed him the captaincy this season and I think he see's Suarez as the kind of player who leads by example.

      This, and anything that strengthens the ties between Luis and LFC will be good for us moving forward.

      LUCAS.

      The guy took some serious stick ..... some of that crap  being off this very forum which was never warranted.

      He never let his head go down  ... he has fought back through long injury  ... the guy has guts.

      Plus   he loves this club.



      Goalkeepers as captains ? Never works IMO.

      I think it could go a different way than a few:

      While I love Lucas, I don't think he has the confidence to really put pressure on others to perform, also his role in the team is quite a quiet one that is hard to change momentum with, neither is he one of the most vocal.

      Keepers don't seem to make good captains for the well documented reasons so for that reason alone I would rule Reina out.

      Suarez is the perfect candidate to lead by example and to have the confidence to call for more effort from anyone within the team but when things aren't going our way I don't think giving him even more reason to confront referees is a good thing. He also plays his heart out every game so you're hardly going to get more effort from him by handing him the armband.

      So personally I believe Agger is the stand out candidate. The manager has already called him the best left-sided defender in Europe, so he has ultimate faith in him and therefore his position in the side seems guaranteed despite a drop in form recently. He most certainly has the attitude to call for more from people not applying themselves, the only niggling doubt I have is it could flare up some incidents into something more than they need to be, but the negatives will be far out weighed by the positives.

      Suarez should be given the captaincy anyway. Saves him getting booked for talking to the referees.

      Agger will be my choice. The statement he made for Torres on Torres debut for Chelsea is a classic highlight.

      Lucas and agger fit the roll perfectly but remembering that oldham game, Suarez as a captain wasnt complaining too much to the ref. He was also trying to stay calm. So maybe we can get more out of him as a vice captain.
      But my vote goes to Lucas, agger and Reina.

      i'd say Louis if it didn't effect his game, otherwise Lucas or Agger. Reina, if he was to wear the armband,would be too isolated from the heat of the game. don't think keepers make good captains, and he may have to step up occasionally.
