Why the fuck is he captain? He completely abdicates responsibility and I've said this before.
A wonderful magical ball player/dribbler...but thats it.
And when you were at school, didn't you want the softest teacher rather than the disciplinarian who gave you shit?Weren't you also one of those calling him a gutless fancy dan a couple of years back?
He's the captain because the players chose him as their captain.

Of course they respect him but that doesn't necessarily make him the best person for the job does it. I've heard he's very good with the players, in a quiet way, in the dressing room. But do you think he'd have given Otamendi the shit that KDB rightly gave him last night? And KDB is supposedly very quiet off the pitch but on it he's a warrior. And that's what I want from a captain and what Pep should want as well.So you reckon they chose him because they knew he wouldn't shout at them very much? Seriously? That's just about the stupidest thing I've read all week.
They chose him out of respect and the fact that he wears an armband doesn't stop the shouty guy who doesn't get to wear it from shouting at them.
