Yea so let's pick a new person to wear a band around their arm, that'll solve any problems we have.
Shame that people don't learn their lesson with Jordan. Deserves more credit than threads like this where people lick their lips waiting for a loss so they can blame Henderson.
For what it's worth, every write up I've read about the game had him as our best player today (not that it's an achievement). Not seen the game however so I can't say that for sure... However wouldn't be surprised if he was and people still blame him.
We lose. 'Captain should be dragging the team to a performance'.
We win. 'Great team display' no mention of the captain.
Pathetic.
We have deeper problems than who wears the armband and in the current set up Hendo would be my choice as captain. But he's the best of a bad bunch, we lack leadership and it's plain to see in these types of games where we roll over and have our belly tickled.
A few years back we had the likes of Kuyt, Stevie, Carra, Agger, Pepe, Alonso, Masch. Hendo is nowhere near that level in terms of leadership in my opinion and the team now couldn't be more different to that set up which had leaders all across the park. May not have won anything with them but we never gave up like we did today and Klopp needs to take a long hard look at it.
Personally think people pick Henderson out because he has the armband and reflects the lack of leadership in our team, so of course he will become the first target.
