Next Captain

Vieira captain, come off it he should not even be at the club. Never mind on the pitch. We hear that we are going to be a top 4 team. What with Vieira who is past it & the likes of SWP who could not make it at CFC. Give Kompany the armband. May not have played to well today. But 9 times out of 10 you can back him to perform.

its not just performing, we need someone to motivate and change the game himself. vieira came on and we looked alot more organised. he made good passes and he almost scored. if any defender sould be captain its lescott. kompany was well away from jones today for his goal and stopped defending vs lampard for his goal. hes young hell make mistakes though, Lescott has been looking far more consistent.
 
i thought kompany had a good game personally, he was caught out of position for the goal , but imo richards shud b defending the cross better, and it was a great finish from jones

but there was a few times kompany bailed us out, he kept darren bent quiet, and lescott is showing the form he did at everton, no one can argue he isnt overpriced, but hes starting to look like the player we need
 
I do wonder at times if we are all watching the same game. Kompany looked all at sea for most of the first half and never seemed to fully recover from his unusual nervousness. He made one excellent takcle on bent but that was only made possible because bent refuses to strike it with his left peg, so he had to drag it back. His passing and distribution from the back was awful at best but to be fair yesterday it seemed like the entire back line hadn't passed a ball amongst each other in years, too long or short for nearly 45 mins. Thankfully after that the ball was never really in our half for prolonged periods.

Yeah you r right about yesterday but you dont base the captaincy on just one game do you?

I agree that the defence didn't look particularly composed in that first half but that said, we did restrict them to two headers inside the box and a few shots from outside the box from what I remember, so I didn't think the defending was that bad. I thought we were dire going forward in the first half but didn't feel unduly worried that they were going to score more goals.
