      Henderson is the new downing. We need to get rid so we can say at least he's better than Henderson. Not even squad player quality.

      People taking piss out of Henderson left right and centre now. It's only going to get worse every game he plays. It's not going to be pretty.

      Of course we should have a different captain.  I mean really, if Henderson weren't captain now, would anyone give it to him?  would anyone even have him in the starting XI?  I doubt it.

      This, unfortunately, is another consequence of FSG waiting too long to sack Rodgers.  Does anyone remember the last game of the 14/15 season, when we got destroyed by Stoke away, we lost 6-0 or something?  Everyone knew he should've been sacked long before that, but that really should've been the last straw.  Klopp was already available, he'd already had his press conference saying he was leaving Dortmund etc. 

      Well, Henderson was named captain in July.  By Rodgers.  So, if FSG had sacked Rodgers at the end of the season in May, like everyone and their mother knew they should've done, then Klopp could've come in, had a full summer of transfers and working with the squad, and made his own decision on captain.  No way in hell he would've picked Henderson. 

      But of course he didn't come in until October, and Henderson was already captain.  An awful decision made by an awful manager.  And yet now Klopp is stuck with it.

      I honestly think that we're stuck with Henderson as captain for the next 3-4 seasons at least.  He is absolutely useless as a footballer, much less as a captain, but I don't think Klopp has the bollocks to take the captaincy off of him.  Thanks, Brendan.  We're still suffering from the awful decisions he took. 

      If it were my choice I'd give it to Mane.  He's shown an incredible amount of passion for the club in the short time he's been here, he fights, he works hard, he doesn't go missing.  And he's arguably the first name on the team sheet, so no one would question whether he is just being put on the field because he's captain.

      But I doubt it'll happen.

      What you do on a pitch only shows about 5% of what a captain does.
      You need to think that most the football these lot play together is at melwood.

      I have a suspicion that Hendo is captain because he works well with Klopps training regime and helps put that across the squad. I cant see anyone else being an influence in training like Hendo.
      He is also England captain and that isn't Brendan Rodgers fault is it?

      He's clearly a leader, just not a leader by example on the pitch.

      Exactly what difference would it make appointing a 'new captain'?
      If that doesn't include a couple of CB's and a striker as well in the deal, it's a complete waste of F***ing time.

      What an idiot thing to post. He is not captain because of what he does in training, Hendo backers showing a new level of desperation. I don't know if to laugh or cry.

      It would mean a lot. A captain needs to restore order to the team. Push the team on... right now when we are playing sh*te... Hendo is at the heart of that. Hendo can't really push others around him to do better when he is awful himself. Players look to the captain and Hendo is sh*te it is like a virus. He gets picked for more games and when he asks for the ball people pass to him more because he is captain.

      Look at the effect Suarez had on the players around him, he improved every player on the field. I am convinced Hendo is the opposite.

      Suarez was the only recognised striker we had, he only wore the armband a couple of times - he carried the team and when he left and was not replaced like for like we struggled, some would say we have struggled ever since, entirely irrelevant as to who was captain.
      Coutinho deserves to be captain in the sense that his presence is vital as was proven last night.

      While the team is devoid of strength in depth the captain's role is unfortunately irrelevant.

      Sorry but how in Hendo clearly a leader, do you know him personally or something? he certainly demonstrates F**k all leadership on the pitch and as Riba said how can he when most times he is the worst bloody player on the pitch. the only reason he gets a game is because he's captain so take that off him and we can start playing better players.

      Only got the armband as he's got a good work ethic. A team like Liverpool deserve more from a Captain; he needs to be able to influence the game. Henderson never was, or ever will be, from that mold.

      Klopp always intended to take a few months to a year out before he went straight back into it. I'm sure Rodgers would have gone that summer had Klopp been available then.

      Im not a Hendo backer at all.
      Who else would you give the armband to? Can who is going to leave next summer, Matip who has been here 5 minutes, Maybe Coutinho cause he is our best player? Oh wait he wanted out too? Mane, he isn't a leader. What about the Benched Jimmy Milner?

      He's the best for the job right now so pipe down.

      Rib - sweetness - irony is this post from you to me............

      From the man who reckoned "Hender....." was a central defender.

      Some things are truly beyond parody 👍
