Next Captain

[salfordblue-tony2]

Very impressive defensive showing, Lescott and Kompany should definitely be the first choice pairing. I'd rather have Micah at right back but Zab had such a good game today he deserves to keep his place.

Hopefully we can avoid injuries and keep the same back four for more than one game, it's not helping that we have to change it round constantly.

i understand about zab having a good game but so did ibrahim while he was on and i wouldn't start him at stoke. just think richards has been getting back to his best lately.

Are you taking the piss? ibrahim looked totally lost till last 5 mins. I thought Pablo had his best game at right back ever for city today, but generally I think he's a liability, gives daft free kicks away,etc. But credit where its due he top notch today.

Kompany for captain for me , we only keep clean sheets when he plays !

Thought our back 4 was solid today, zabby MOM for me. Sorry for those that think that ibrahim is the answer for our midfield issues but the poor lad was so far out of his depth when he came on he didnt have a clue who he was marking and im not against the poor lad as i think he has great potential i just think it was a bad decision by our manager again, personally think he should have brought micah on and put Zab into midfield.

 

[MCFC BOB]

I just lol'd when I saw you'd put Barry first in that list. ;)

I don't know. I think we need a good strong, central-midfielder before we change captain.
But Kompany will do for now. ;)

 

[MCFC-alan88]

are Belgium in the world cup?? If so I think Kompany won't be happy playing in defence ( he is doing a stirling job)

This could affect his chances ..maybe??

Kompany plays CB primarily for Belgium, I'm sure their manager is delighted.

I quite like the idea of the roaming camera man picking the skipper out of the crowd pre-match.

This wouldn't make us any worse off and would add to the entertainment and crowd interaction.

It certainly won't be any worse than today's captain who was removed from the action for most of the game (not his fault, just the way the game was) and spent the half-time team talk out on the pitch doing catching practice.

So whilst most other clubs have a skipper pointing at the arm band throughout the course of the game and demanding an explanation for the latest refereeing injustice, we appoint our goalie.

Daft.

Vinnie or Nigel for me. Both excellent players and have the potential to be great leaders!

Vincent Kompany as captain for me and the back four like today, or with Richards alternating with Zab...

Toure's been poor and hats off to Mancio for dropping his captain. Now let this partnership have some time... I fancy us to finish above Liverpool after today but will that be good enough...? I dunno.

We need Tevez.

 

[AntMcfc]

De Jong or Kompany should be the captain, #1 and #2 either way. I prefer my captains to be CB's, and I really couldn't tear these two apart in terms of leadership and likeability/respect. I'd say Komps as #1 just because he's a CB, DJ vice.

 

[Bluebee2]

I really think we are missing a trick appointing Given as Captain when Toure is not playing. Other Captains are constantly chipping away at refs pointing out other players fouls etc, we appoint a goalie who is 50 yards away from the action. Barry or DeJong should be Captain imho.

Mr.Silent non vocal captain Given,

The armband should rightfully go to kompany.

 

[mr t]

Giving the Captains armband to the goalie smacks of desperation. It's worrying that no natural leader has emerged from the rest of the team. When Gareth Barry joined I thought he was nailed on to be a regular future City captain but for some reason his spark seems to have gone and he now seems to play 2nd fiddle to De Jong. We need to find our own John Terry and at the moment there dosen't seem to be anybody like him at our club.

He's no JT, but kompany is the nearest thing we have to him.

Problem with Kompany is that quite a lot of players don't like him. And he is still only young, so many don't look up to him as much as say Given.

and how the fuck on gods given earth would you know that?

LOL HAHA oh how you know that? LOL bullshittttt

 

[Damocles]

Kompany isn't respected enough to be captain.

Why is it that every time a player has a good run of form, we automatically want to make them captain? First it was Bellamy, then De Jong, and now Kompany.

I agree that Toure isn't a captain (despite my weird manlove for him as a player, he is a bad choice) and was probably the best of a strange bunch. Barry has done the job before and would be okay, he might even pick his form up.

To me though, my preferred (heart, not head) choice is Ireland. He's blue through and through, has a phenomenal work ethic, has been at the club the longest, plays most games, and his form has a great impact on our team. He also isn't shy about his opinion, puts club before country and knows the tactical side of the game.

The day Stevie lifts the Champions League as captain, I might just die a fully contented and happy person.

Kompany should be captain. Surprised Hughes gave it to Toure since Vinnie was vice-captain behind Dunne last year.

I could see Richards being captain in a couple years which would be great.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Goalie captains might be an Italian thing. Zenga and Zoff were both captain, I think. But the main point of being 50-100yds away disqualifies a goalie from the armband.

A midfield dynamo should be captain. Now, where can we get one from?

 

[laserblue]

having a keeper as captain has never made any sense to me. in what way can he captain the side during play? nothing against given but kompany would be my choice. cool head, intelligent, leads by example and always in the thick of things.

your posts are generally the ones with which i find intellect and dry humor in abundance........... this effort is without doubt the most amount of drivel i've seen come from your sword. Ireland as captain? Lifting a champions league? Not a chance
