That's true..


I wasn’t talking about Henderson

Yelling at people and being a twat while you play like shite like he has most his career doesn’t make him a born leader or great captain.

He’s had a very good season until about January especially for his quality

VVD the minute he got there started showing captain qualities

He should be captaining England over Kane, as well.


Crazy talk

But Kane probably shouldn’t be the captain either but it’s the whole make your best player the captain move.

While I agree Kane probably shouldn't be captain, I genuinely have trouble finding somebody else to give it to off the top of my head.
Maguire maybe?

I know you weren't talking about Hendo... VVD is a great leader of our defense and one of the leaders on the team...

Hendo is the indisputable captain on and off the field and everyone close to the club acknowledges that.. just because your prediction looks silly now, doesn't make it any less true.. nor does that "VVD is the real captain" nonsense...

Who deserves to be captain of England? He has as strong(er) a case as anyone in that suqad... I get why Kane was named captain and in all honesty, not a subject I have that strong of feelings about..

Maybe the captain of the most recent European Champions and soon to be League Champions..

Henderson doesn’t have a stronger case than anyone in that squad

Hell his play has often been detrimental to England’s performance on the field

He the oldest player in the pool getting call ups recently but that doesn’t make him the strongest case to be the captain.

It’s about team dynamics and leading that particular group of players.

It has been working for Liverpool the last two years but even then his first few years as captain were not so great.

It's a joke that he is going to win EPL player of the year




It should be KDB.....It may go to VVD though. No chance Hendo wins it.

Looking at that squad really no one

Kane gets is bc he is the best player

Could Harry be it? Maybe

Hendo maybe

The rest of the pool with a ton of caps is still young

Definitely not giving it to a guy like Sterling

In that young pool of guys probably someone like Rashford one day or TAA

It was a pretty good prediction for about 5 seasons

Not like he was a major factor in that campaign

This year tho he was great till January February

Played levels above what he can usually do

I already took my licks and ate my crow

Took longer than everyone thought it would with klopp but with how Liverpool was just throwing shite at walls hopping it would stick with buying players for a while it was always gonna be a painful process

Took three world class players to make it happen but hey it happened

A club that size shouldn’t go 7 years without a trophy and 30 years not winning the league

Thank you everyone for the input. I am a huge Gerrard fan - dude is a legend. I like what Hendo brings to the squad, but he is no Captain Fantastic. But...If Hendo remains captain and lifts another CL, multiple PLs, and a few other miscellaneous trophies, where does he rank as an all time Liverpool great?
