Being a Captain isn't just on the bloody pitch it's off it mainly.
Henderson should be gearing up the players to make sure they're up for teams they should beat even if he is playing or not.
A true Captain has more effect in the training room and off the pitch.
Also don't forget Hendo has played in many of these games against lower place teams and has been totally invisible and had no influence on the pitch whatsoever.
Liverpool FC lack winners and leaders and that's why we fail to beat lower teams. We have the quality.
Been captin is about been on the "bloody" pitch he is the on field general who carries out the orders of the manager n coaching staff . Fair enough off it he has to be extra professional in his life deal with fans interviews etc as a rep of the club .
One Henderson is not a manager or coach and "gearing" up players isnt his or any other captains job when not out on the pitch . Plus if a player is playing for Liverpool and needs to be "geared" up then there is something off . Any good coach can give a player the technical tools , get them fit but they cannot give players heart that comes from within .
If Hendo did play Monday then fair game in here spout away bout him this is the pre match thread . He didnt play he should exempt from critisism in here . Lallana did play .
We do lack leaders but getting rid of one who puts it in is silly
