I know what you mean Andy but would hope we had more than one person keeping things organised and think it is a collective responsibility. Can it simply be the captains fault we concede two goals like that? I accept you need people filling that role. Just think it should be much more than one.

I honestly think its laughable the way people but so much focus on the armband.
As if it will suddenly give the players magic powers if the right person holds it, its not a magic staff lads, its just an armband.

Captain should have an amount of experience and a leader with the respect of the players and a winner. We dont have anyone that fits the profile.

Totally agree mate, but if we had a really strong character wearing the armband, I think it would help. A captain leads and encourages those around him to do better, if our squad all could do just 5% better, we'd likely be a force
We had 11 captains in the 80’s, the armband allowed them to lift the trophies first

players thesedays have gone soft.. there are very few truee captains especially in the pl.
coleman is a good player but i dont consider him a leader, same with baines. i couldnt remember the last time i saw a true captain tbh
who will be our captain in 5-8 years?? kenny? davies? keane? these players are wimps compared to duncan. even jags was on the softer end.

I don’t know why Baines was randomly made captain on Saturday.
Silva has 3 captains.

Kenny. Duncan as a Captain would not be the greatest example in the world. He was sometimes a massive liability with that temper.

We have a few winners in the team mina,walcott and Zouma
Is Silva giving everyone a bash at this captaìncy lark, until somebody steps up?
He has 3 captains: Coleman (bench), Baines (bench), Jags (banned)
Did you want him to start with no one wearing the armband because I think that's not allowed.

tl;dr Jagielka is a bad captain because he doesn't shout at refs and isn't like Ferguson. Who was, let's face it, a complete psycho. I mean, he's a lovely man off the pitch allegedly but he could be pretty horrible on it, and a captain's no use if he keeps getting banned for beating up opposition.
Coleman is the most obvious choice for me as a replacement. Baines should never be captain. Too quiet.
ETA: do all captains in the EPL act like this archetypal heroic captain you all want Jags to be? Apart from Noble.

Just asking for a mate, honest.
