The alternative, for "us", is to pretend a) that Jürgen doesn't pick his players on merit and/or b) Jordan [or someone else] picks the team. 😕
It's kinda like when we do bad, and some complain about the sh*te players left by BR.
Don't mind the elephants in the room.
Jürgen is picking him (and leaving him as captain) because he is filling a role, and in a way, Jürgen wants it filled.
Personally think we could've brought in a more natural DM who is more defensive oriented, more of a natural tackler.
But he didn't, we did very little business in the summer.
But let's bash the captain for playing in a role he's being asked, in a way the manager wants.
Oh, and defending Hendo doesn't mean I think he's great and there's no-one out there who couldn't improve us in that position.
When we clearly can improve, in lots of positions.
But it's been two years, and he's still captain.
Lke many on I here believe he can more positive in certain games - is Jürgen saying that to him? Dunno. Presume not, Hendo's not an idiot, he does what the manager asks.
Reckon if Jürgen asked him to play a different way, he would.
He's on a hiding to nothing.
Some people have it in for him.
