Interesting. I can see the logic of that.
+1 for Johnson, he's mature and I think he'd respond well to the responsibility. I'm not sure if Suarez is the man you want to be getting involved in everything at the moment he's inspirational which is good but level headed on the pitch he is not.
Depending on their futures, the centre backs and Reina would be the obvious choices.

I've said agger in the past, and I'm still thinking of it because I'm hopeful he'll pull himself out of his dire run he's in (and tbh, we've not got many good candidates really..), but I'd prefer Johnson atm
I think Glojo is an interesting shout. Him, Agger and Suarez should definitely be in the mix.
I'd go with Agger or Lucas. I think Rodgers will go with Lucas or Suarez if it's uncertain that Reina will stick around, otherwise Reina probably gets the VC role as the most senior player after Gerrard.
Agree with this. It's got to be Luis (English skills permitting) followed by Glenjo.
I don't like keepers as captains. They can't deal with refs, which is about the one bit of reliable influence captains have these days. (And as a big critic of Gerrard as captain, I must say he deals with refs really well - he's saved masses of yellow and red cards over the past few years by getting in there quickly and sorting it out.)
My thought too
I would have said Reina but I imagine he's off in the summer.
The only viable candidates are Johnson and Suarez as you need a guaranteed first teamer and they are the only two IMO. I think Agger needs to buck his ideas up and it wouldn't surprise me to see Skrtel leave.
Glenjo seems sound but I'd give it to Suarez to reflect his higher importance to the team.

He's definitely done more of that this season. I think he's been a bit guilty of not trying to influence the ref in the past. Maybe the England captaincy has spurred him on.
Suarez or Johnson
Alonso
I meant it might inspire them [Skrtel or Agger] to do better, not for them to inspire others. It wasn't a properly serious suggestion, it just fitted well with the debate that rages elsewhere about these two players.
If the business between him and Rodgers has been sorted, I'd give it to Skrtel. He's worn the armband before, he visibly loved doing so and I'm thinking he's one player whose game could actually benefit from his carrying more explicit responsibility.
Otherwise Magic's a good shout.

It's fairly obvious I would have thought Suarez was captain the other week when Carra Stevie and Pepe were not playing. Were the other candidates available?
It's the sort of thing Suarez would appreciate.

Gary did a funny!
It's that time of year, ha.
On a serious note, Johnson is a decent shout.
I've never been his biggest fan as a player but he's undoutedly had a cracking season, he seems very popular with everyone at the Club and more responsibility could see his performances improve further.
