to be fair to hendo... he was the captain of the U21s for England so not only BR sees leadership qualities.
also, I feel he has massive respect for stevie. so when SG is on the pitch, he lets SG take all the leadership responsibilities. However, if you look at the games SG isn't on the pitch.. like that stretch of a few games last year, Hendo displayed quite abit of ability as a player and as a leader.
right now, as of today, I say we should give this lad a chance. I think he can really be good for us.
Nah. Not for me.
Compare him to previous players who have captained us and tell me again you think he would be a good captain for us. Henderson isn't fit to lace their boots in all honesty.
Henderson received many plaudits last season for the work he did that went
unnoticed. The likes of Danny and Luis stepped up when needed, Stevie did, Raheem and Coutinho both did, Skrtel did at times and flanno went into every tackle that made the crowd roar.
What did Jordan do apart from cover Stevies ground? He was part of a great season last year and certainly played a part don't get me wrong, but half a dozen or so players stood out far more for me than Jordan did.
You can be a type of captain where you let your football do the talking. Messi could captain any team for example. Or you could be a carragher and a Flanno who gets stuck in and organises things. It's why Stevie was a great captain because he had everything. Jordan has very little to offer us in my opinion being captain.
I also have higher ambition and don't believe he should be starting every game for us either. I've said many times before he reminds me of a james milner type of player. He is no world beater but will do a job for you. He would make a brilliant squad player.
Overall, I like Jordan, he seems an honest lad and does put a shift in when he wants too but shouldn't be captain of Liverpool FC.
Unfortunately for us, he seems the only candidate.
