StanBalaban Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Jordan Henderson is Liverpool captain, but isn't always guaranteed a start. I think Milner is 2nd and VVD 3rd. I would definitely keep Mings as the captain, with Martinez 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I’m keeping Mings as captain, he’s been a great leader for us and can still be that even with the odd mistake in his game. Review it next season when we may look to upgrade our defence again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Emi 1 for me. There is a risk it will affect Mings's morale, but I guess that if he is captain material then he'd get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also 100% leave the captain's arm band on Tyrone's arm (he's a born leader, has been since he joined the club and who would be confident they would be able to take it off him?). Three great pictures there John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Mings for me. I wouldn’t be adverse to giving it to Emi. But I think Mings has been a great captain and I think any positive of giving it to someone else isn’t big enough to negate the negative of taking it off Mings. His attitude and personality as well as what he does off the field makes me proud test he’s our captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Has to be Martinez for me, only player in the squad who it guaranteed to start every game if fit imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you think it was an odd choice? Grealish was captain in name only. Tyrone was always the leader on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to change it, it's bizarre he's let it run on for so long, we shouldn't still be speculating about this so close to the start of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our best player, and dragged players up towards his level when things were going well, but when things were against us, he was a sulking, petulant little bitch. Then there's his antics off the pitch. Edited July 24, 2022 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSw Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 For me: Mings club captain as he's a great leader and person on and off the pitch. Martinez VC as he's also appears to be a big leader in the dressing room and is likely to play every game so can naturally take over from Mings when he doesn't play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I picked Martinez as club captain for all the reasons many others have. Mainly though because I see him as the most constant in the side in the future or the more ere movable. He's also become somewhat of a beacon at the club since he arrived, from living in the shadows for near on a decade to now being everyone's champion, even Argentina's. I'm not adverse to keepers being Captain either, even if it wouldn't be my natural choice, many top keepers throughout history have been great leaders that have captained teams to title and trophies. Plus a keeper also has the advantage of seeing everything on the pitch. As for Ming's.....It's funny because when you look at his own back story and what he has achieved, it's hard to find reasoning other than him not being a guaranteed starter for taking the captaincy off him. From a loanee in the Championship with us and cult status following our promotion, to captaining that side into a position whereby the next challenge is attaining European football. In 4 years that's some going, add to that his international caps and you find it hard argue for taking the captaincy away from him. And who can forget that photo of him in full kit at the train station, he'll always be loved for that. I think both are superb candidates, ambassadors for the club and both the main boys in the dressing and squad as personalities go. Until such time as one of them leaves or cannot retain their starting place then I probably would leave Ming's as captain and Martinez vc if only for continuity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got to remember some are still sore he left us, joined the league champions, won the league, big pay rise and playing champions league football every season, plus git us 100 million transfer fee, sorry we are way of top 4 and challenging for the league he made the best decision for his career, and I thank him for the momeries. Tyrone has to stay as captain, Chambers scores a header, and all of a sudden is Mcgrath reincarnated, Mings carried him a lot last season just like he did konsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 The fact we are arguing over 3 or 4 names for captain is a really good sign that we have good leaders across the pitch. Gone are the days when leaders tweeted photos of sports cars and called it an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want someone who lives and breathes the club, don’t think that is TM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
