Lovren, if he doesn't get poached to spanish bastards in a couple of years. Hendo isn't captain material for me, a good lad, hard worker, lead by example sort like gerrard, but not a leader of men. Some times they need a bollocking and a lift, not just to watch someone who's doing what's expected.
I was undecided about Hendo but after seeing what Mors has to say I'm more convinced than ever he'd be great. Only problem is he might not always play.
Hendo is constantly ordering players about and organising the people around him. He's easily captain material, and Mors is wrong to say he merely leads by example. That said Lovren seems a born leader too.
Henderson. He already is captain on the field the majority of the time.
His influence on other players is immense, when you go the game you see how much the fucker runs about passing messages to players, explaining formations & bollocking the cunts who aren't doing what they should.

I'm a bit gutted about this gene, that you don't agree with me, so I've reconsidered my opinion and decided you're right instead.
Prat.
No way.
Hendo for me. Fantastic player, great attitude, one of the first names on the sheet regardless of opponent. Drives forward, tracks back, never stops running and never stops talking.
This^
Too early to call on Lovren, if he turns into a commanding Carragher style CB then I think he would be the natural choice but for now Henderson is way ahead of him in terms of his standing at the club, the kid has shown tremendous heart to battle back from being left out on the kerb for pickup to being one of the first names on the teamsheet
Slightly odd comparison. Wilshere's a crock and a pussy, and his game is based on finesse.
Henderson's one of the fittest players in the league, and his game is based on pressing, energy, and fearlessness.
He does get overrated on here (highly committed players always tend to), but he's still a very good young player.
Having said that, I don't think he's captain material yet. He's too much of a pup at the moment.
A captain for me should be someone who has calm control over the either the entire defence (Hyypia) or midfield (McAllister); or someone who is pure inspiration (Gerrard, Suarez).
I can't see Henderson being the former, and I suspect he doesn't have the talent to be the latter.
The comparison ends in that they're both extremely overrated by their individual fan bases. Nothing more than that.
It will be at least 1 or 2 more years before the change will be made. Plenty of time to grow into the role. The question wasnt who should get it if the armband was handed over tomorrow, in which case Lovren, who has played zero competitive games for us would be an equally inappropriate selection.
Quite right. Can we choose someone who is massively overrated in Arsenal circles, then all will be right with the world.
Based on his his achievements it must be Lovren. Have we ever seen a better Liverpool player???
Oh yeah. That was strange but it doesn't surprise that a nice fella like Evans picked him. I mean considering the whole Spice boys thing they had going on.
