Trent is the same age as when Gerrard got it and is in a similar situation.

he will be among the first names on the team sheet, he is homegrown and expected to be here for the rest of his career (hopefully)...

it is time to give it to him and build around him.

I think it will go to Virgil, but long term I think the best would be to give it to Trent already.

If Hendo stays I think he should retain the captaincy.

Suggesting he should step down as captain would just be punishing him for daring to want to leave the club.

There are a few main reasons why he should no longer be captain, which should be pretty clear, that bolded point for me is not one of them.

My take is Alisson. Or Van Dijk. Probably the two that have the "posture of a captain".

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #43 on:** July 19, 2023, 05:42:11 am »

VvD. He wore the armband when Henderson and Milner weren't on the pitch.

Zlen · « **Reply #44 on:** July 19, 2023, 06:04:50 am »

Van Dijk or Ali.

skidz73 · « **Reply #45 on:** July 19, 2023, 06:07:13 am »

Aliison

ToneLa · « **Reply #46 on:** July 19, 2023, 06:23:17 am »

Virge or Mo.

Would like to see Trent get it.

Risto · « **Reply #47 on:** July 19, 2023, 06:58:53 am »

Has anyone official actually confirmed that Henderson is considering leaving Liverpool? Has anyone told him or Klopp about these rumours going around if that is all they are?

If true then Henderson will leave and only then a new captain be appointed, with Van Dijk an obvious candidate, but until it has been confirmed I don't think it is worth speculating.

VVM · « **Reply #48 on:** July 19, 2023, 01:52:55 pm »

I doubt Henderson will lose the captaincy if he stays. Based off who's been given the armband in the last couple of seasons, I'd imagine the order would be:

1. Henderson
2. Van Dijk
3. Robertson
4. Alisson
5. Alexander-Arnold
6. Salah

has gone odd · « **Reply #49 on:** July 19, 2023, 02:07:15 pm »

We have options for captaincy, no panic there. VVD/Trent/Robbo and even Salah for me could all be in the running.

Andy82lfc · « **Reply #50 on:** July 19, 2023, 02:49:15 pm »

I’m honestly fucking baffled at some thinking Hendo should keep the captaincy. Shouldn’t be surprised in this day and age of some fans gagging for a state takeover.

He’s the fucking captain not some squad player. You can’t agree to be a PR vehicle for a state that executes gay people, to name just one atrocity, then when it all falls through swing back into being the leader of the club team wearing rainbow armbands.

I can imagine he will have had hundreds of messages of disappointment the last week from blindsided fans, whether they are members of the gay community, human rights advocates et al, yet he’s chosen to stay silent to see how this plays out.

He is now in no position to carry forward the beliefs of our city and club as he clearly chose otherwise, to have him as captain now would be farcical.

Absolutely no reason he can’t continue to play for us but as captain and as such leader of what the club stands for, fuck no.

Absolutely correct.

Hendo left out of this evenings pre season game.

DangerScouse · « **Reply #54 on:** July 19, 2023, 03:39:43 pm »

I'm disgusted with him. He's club captain ffs. How about staying and playing a part in trying to win more trophies at Liverpool! Ruined his legacy imo, i know others feel differently.

van Djik with Salah as VC. Trent waiting in the wings.

Judging by the Henderson thread, Mother Theresa wouldn't be good enough.

ademuzzy · « **Reply #58 on:** July 19, 2023, 08:41:38 pm »

I think Robbo would make a very good captain in my opinion. I like the fact he has an edge to him which is what is needed.

Give it Trent, he has plenty of other captains in the side to help.

Jean Girard · « **Reply #63 on:** July 19, 2023, 08:46:24 pm »

Ali or Trent. But it'll likely be Virgil

HumanRed · « **Reply #64 on:** July 19, 2023, 08:50:02 pm »

Trent but I suspect Klopp will do what Houlier did with Stevie G and made big Sami the captain for a short period whilst Stevie devloped a bit more.

So Virgil for a year or two and then a long run with Trent as captain!

stewy17 · « **Reply #65 on:** July 19, 2023, 08:56:49 pm »

Would love it to be Trent but think it’ll be big Virg with Trent and Robbo deputies.

Mo maybe?

redbyrdz · « **Reply #66 on:** July 19, 2023, 08:57:02 pm »

VVD
Robbo
Trent

mullyred94 · « **Reply #67 on:** July 19, 2023, 08:59:40 pm »

Trent because not a fan of goalies being captains

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #68 on:** July 19, 2023, 09:14:31 pm »

I am sure it will be Van Dijk as captain and either Ali or Robbo as vice captain. Personally though I think I would give it to Mo Salah.

alvaro · « **Reply #69 on:** July 19, 2023, 09:20:27 pm »

VVD captain, trent vice so he can take over in the future.

Hedley Lamarr · « **Reply #70 on:** July 19, 2023, 09:45:11 pm »

Van Dijk will be captain, Vice-captain is the interesting one. As long as it's explained to Salah I'd give it to Trent, he's at the stage where he needs that extra responsibility.

He's around the age when Gerrard and Henderson got it so it would make sense with Trent.

thejbs · « **Reply #72 on:** July 19, 2023, 10:47:20 pm »

It’ll be VVD. Vice captain is less clear. Could be Salah to keep him happy or Trent to set him up for eventual captain. Personally I’d give it to Robertson.

JackWard33 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 19, 2023, 10:53:40 pm »

Salah should be vice captain to Van Dijk... his attitude is exemplary, never seen him throw in a performance not once, and he's been far more committed than many over the last few years

Don't think Trent is a leader really - he's still pretty young in calendar years and he tends to go in on himself when things aren't going well

Salah, Trent and Ali as vice to Virgil in that order.

Mo is a terrific role model and has maintained his level even when we’ve had some difficult seasons
