Can't believe some don't think its that important to have a captain, for me its pivotal to have a leader, a strong character and someone not afraid to give out bollickings when needed,
Someone who has a voice between the players and the gaffer, a kind of liaison that can smooth things over if players have any concerns...
Henderson hasn't got the bollocks to bollock anyone and that for me spells 'pushover' amongst his peers, to be fair to him tho he's probably good at the community stuff and the ambassador stuff,
Lallana would i believe be a good candidate but we need him to be on the pitch most of the time, he would undoubtedly set a good example and has the ability to go the extra mile, i think other players would look up to him and follow his lead,
Can is another good shout imo, in fact its possible it could be the making of him, give him the extra responsibility and I'm sure he would respond, he needs to sign a new deal of course but why not kill two birds and see what he says, if its no then we will at least know where we stand,
My third choice would be Matip but I'm not sure he would want to, he doesn't come across as a leader type from what I've seen but what do i know ?
Perhaps our leader hasn't arrived as yet, it's possible Jürgen is thinking that he wants someone specific, someone he knows will deliver, someone he has worked with before?
It isn't beyond reason to assume that new players coming in will have the experience Klopp desires to take this club forward, i truly believe he has realised that its time to ship out those who very clearly will not take us up a level,
And not before time imho.
