I get the importance of head injury but if you’re a real captain in extra time you’re getting straight up and running in the box. Piss poor from him ontop of every other thing he did wrong last night, and in fact this whole season.

Captain is more than just what’s on the pitch.

Captain is more than just what’s on the pitch.
But it is THE most important aspect of being a captain...leadership on the pitch. He might be good around the changing room, but it's out on the pitch where he'll be judged.

Clubs often have team captain and club captain two different qualities needed.

There aren't too many other candidates standing out for the role which is a sad endictment of where we are.
To most observers Morrisons cemented place in starting XI should be questioned. The captaincy only becomes an issue when that happens.
Best partnership, imo, we could have had last year was Manga and Bamba but Sir Neils love affair with Morrison combined with lack of a PL quality RB meant that wasnt what happened.
Again, why did we sign Nelson?

I do not agree with the whole season bit..
but yes I was pretty peed off when he sat up so quickly after the ref stopping the game...will add that I thought the ref was very generous with the bounce ball though.
