Its been that way since Pep arrived and we haven't done badly.
But we were probably at our best in the years Vinnie was captain. If Mancini and Pellegrini had given players the vote, I think our captains would've been something like Tevez -> Barry -> Milner -> Silva. Things could've been very different.
Sometimes I just want the manager to take charge and give it to the guy who is clearly the biggest leader in the side.
