    Robbo or Ally moving forward, but I have a problem with goalies as captains as they can't follow the ref around the pitch haranguing them, as this seems to be part of their duties nowadays for all teams.

    Agree with most of that apart from everything went in. We literally missed at least another two or three sitters in that second half.

    I asked about captains because you were seemingly scrapping most of the current team. Henderson and Milner are excellent captains so in both their absences, who cuts the mustard? I like a fiery Scot like Robbo, in fact I like fiery players. We have a dearth of them atm.

    Couple of midfielders and we'll be fine.

    milner has to go.

    henderson will stay but he is likely not going to start.

    there are few I'd let be Captain. Robertson is the one.

    Yeah he takes Miller's place basically and fits in when needed.

    I disagree. Nothing wrong with the squad we've just made a mistake not replacing the midfield.

    maybe so.

    there's a natural transition to new forwards going on as well so it's hard right now but it'll come together sometime.

    I think so, legs in the middle of the park and we're sorted.

    Robbo is the only one cut from a captain's cloth, though he can be a bit too gobby at times.

    Milner would be a great captain once Henderson retires.

    Still early in his career. Plenty time for him to mature to become captain.

    Hopefully, he'll gain experience and be able to lead by example when we need to close games out

    Might be a low bar given the season we're having, but Milner has been one of our most consistent and reliable players whenever he's been called upon and whatever position he's been asked to play.
    Obviously he can't go on forever and we need to replace him with someone for the future, but I don't understand why he gets so much grief on here. If only the rest of them gave as much we might not be in such a position.

    Milner was one of our best players on Wednesday - head and shoulders above Fab. And that is really, really depressing, isn't it?

    I think its not exactly milner per se, but that he's still being called upon at 37. He is indicative of our poor squad depth, this season he also indicates quite how poor some of the squad are.

    Again it's not milner it's what he represents, you'd really hope that we had something better to call upon.

    Why not? Sounds like you're planning on assassinating him. And you call everyone else for being too critical of him <yikes>



    <whistle>




    I have no issue with Milner. My issue is when he's bought on for his experience to help see out a tight game; he usually plays like a young lad making his debut in these scenarios.
