Liverpool Armband Up for Grabs: Who Will Lead the Reds?
Potential Torchbearers: Who Will Take Up the Captain's Mantle at Liverpool?
In the heart of Anfield, whispers about Jordan Henderson, the revered Liverpool captain, potentially shifting his loyalty to the Saudi Pro League have stirred a cauldron of anxiety and speculation. Henderson's sterling record and influence in the Liverpool squad is no secret; he's been the fulcrum of the squad for years, and his departure would leave a void. But who might step up to fill the boots of such …
Is Jordan Henderson Liverpool's Best Candidate For Captaincy?
Jurgen Klopp previously claimed that “being skipper of Liverpool is the hardest job in world football because the man who had the armband before you is Steven Gerrard.” That premise seems to be ringing true.
In truth, whoever took over from Gerrard was destined to fail in the eyes of Liverpool fans. Perhaps that’s why Henderson is often left to bear the brunt of criticism.
When stacked up against Liverpool captains of old; players like Emlyn Hughes, Graeme Souness or …

Captaincy Candidates - Part Two: Emre Can
We are back with the second part of this series looking at the potential candidates to be Liverpool's captain next season. After assessing Jordan Henderson in the first part, this time we turn our attention to Henderson's midfield partner, Emre Can.
I'll say this: If Emre Can stays at the club for the next 4 or 5 years, he will definitely be the Captain by then; there is absolutely no doubt about that. But, is August 2016 too early to …
The Jordan Henderson conundrum
Captain? Yes. Leader? Not quite. At least since his return to the side last month after his heel problem, Jordan Henderson has not been the robust central midfielder that he has shown he can be. Steven Gerrard's departure last summer left a gaping hole in the very fabric of the squad.
Minus Gerrard, Liverpool went into the season short of a high-class central midfielder and more importantly, a leader. Admittedly, Gerrard wasn't the most vocal while on the pitch, but …
Emre Can - The Apparent Heir to Steven Gerrard?
The Germany U21's manager Horst Hrubesch told us all yesterday that Emre Can's future at Liverpool was in midfield. This despite being Mr Versatile in his debut season at the club, this to the detriment of his form.
"I was in Liverpool and they confirmed to us that Emre Can would be taking up (Steven) Gerrard's midfield role." - Horst HrubeschWhat a bombshell. A midfielder being used in midfield. Who'd have thought it? Emre Can started in …
Take Over The Ship Captain Hendo
Three games leave us from saying goodbye to arguably the best player Anfield has ever seen, Steven Gerrard, our captain for over 12 years.
He’s a Liverpool legend I’ll remember as the attacking midfielder who won us trophies and offered us fans, dozens of memorable moments. Plus, he’s the producer of the best 6 minutes football has ever seen. I know a lot people who became Reds after that miraculous night in Istanbul.
As a kid, before anyone knew about …
