    When a player loses his pace(if he ever had it) he starts shirt pulling = yellow card

    Certainly if you take out the best players the performance will suffer but, getting back to the question, who would you suggest to take over as captain or are you of the opinion it doesn't matter?

    That's what appears to happen with Liam but some of the best defenders didn't appear to be that fast but read the game so well they invariably were in the right place at the right time.

    Coops is not the best captain we've had in recent years but he's certainly the most successful.

    For that alone he gets to keep the job for now.

    L1 Liam is a captain and leads by example and invariably does a great job. However when exposed can not get away with wrestling in the box. He stifled Traore and that took class but also gave away a penalty and will again, he will also be suspended soon and is probably the 4th best CB in the club and will do a job this season but we have to accept the cards and penalties. By late next season he will be bench warming

    Think most of us said that last season but yet he's still first choice.

    I think he's getting to "keep the job for now" because there isn't anybody else who could step into the captains role, that's the point I'm labouring to make. We appear to be selecting a player for his leadership rather than his football.

    Exactly, who?! From what I can see he didn't score a hundred in a test match and was lucky to have some half decent players available to him when he was captain.

    I'll go with Mark Lawrenson's prediction for this game.

    Tweets not so much but the tablets of stone have all been reviewed or can be modified to suit

    They said on talkSPORT that we have lost on our last five visits to Brighton and not scored in any of them. Any of our statistical experts on here can confirm this?

    Not sure how much relevance the games back in 2016 and further back have!

    First half Cooper was solid, second half he switched off, within the first 30 seconds a ball was passed to one of the most lethal finishes in Europe, what is the golden rule when defending and in your own penalty area?
    Well I was coached not to commit, get close to the attacker, let him know your around, what did our captain do….. commit himself, Kane turned him, should have scored, he then went down hill from there, either our coaching staff are useless OR he does what he wants and I have not started on the pulling and pushing in the box on set pieces, not a fan, time he was replaced!!!
