avfc1982am Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The question I ask to everyone on here is this.....Who is the worst player now classed as starting 11? Or in a presumed starting 11. Obviously the reason why I'm asking this is because I feel it's the new captain. What does everyone else think though? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Lack of leaders is a problem with this team. Carlos and Kamara both strike me as leaders, (so will be a big help) as do Mings,Ings and Martinez. McGinn is the dressing room joker, not a leader!

I get you might not like his tactics and team selection but in truth we are just swapping out like for like, this is the problem. I actually think making McGinn captain could be a masterstroke. Will be an interesting season either way. I don’t think it’s all down to the players though. When you have the likes of Watkins, Ings, Coutinho, Buendia, Bailey, Traore and JJ you should look better as an attacking force but we lack cohesion so often, we lack ideas and a way of playing. That is largely a coaching issue because there is enough talent to look better than we are. As I’ve said I don’t care who the captain is as I don’t think we have a true leader on the pitch but the other problems on the pitch concern me. I think it’ll be a long frustrating season unfortunately, it’s the least excited I’ve been for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings is clearly not wanted as captain by Gerrard so we need to accept we are getting a new captain. Doug should absolutely not be given the armband while letting his contract run down, I would give it to ElGhazi before I would give it to Doug. As I posted, Kamara has just arrived and I am unsure he has fluent English. I also think a GK is a bad choice as captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only thing I have against this decision. I don't think John's been exactly excellent for a long time now. But I wish John all the best of course, he's a good man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Not my first choice . But he isnt going to be a nightmare either. Intelligent and respected by all the squad. The glue that keeps the squad together . And loved by managers. There is a reason why. I couldn't tell you exactly why but he is. He is there to be the managers spokesperson on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The captain is there to lead and inspire on the pitch, not a spokesperson, otherwise any idiot could do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
