Is there a rule in football which says you must have a captain? Surely singling someone out for such special treatment only makes the rest of the team feel like they're not as good? I rekon we shouldn't have a captain at all. Or better still, make everyone captain. That's the Southampton way.

Why are you going for someone who is not the most reasonable choice?

 

Id pick Gazza as I think it could give him a confidence boost and make a premier player out of him. It's worth a go IMO.

 

Gazza won't make the team now with Kelv back between the sticks, he had a great game back vs Reading personally I am less nervy when Kelv is playing

You definitely cant have everyone as captain, but I'm not sure about having no one as captain.

 

According to League rules, the captain (is supposed) to be the only person to speak with the ref. in the event of a dispute or arguement. He is the team's rep. on the field, which is why it was a bit difficult

in earlier seasons when KD was honoured with the captaincy, because he couldn't run out of goal every time we needed to ask /speak to the ref. It really needs to be an outfield player.

Since Saints decided that Kelvin Davis wouldn't be the on pitch captain it has been...

 

Hammond captain and Fonte vice captain

 

and now...

 

Lallana captain and Fonte vice captain

 

 

perhaps we had a Barca inspired epiphany about a local boy being captain. Either that or Fonte doesn't want the responsability

on a permanent basis.

Davis should be if he starts if gazza is starting again then Fonte, for me we need to reward players for playing well who also show signs of leadership and Fonte and Cork certainly fit that, who ever it is needs to make sure we dont lose vs sunderland, its a game full of good attacking players and poor defenders for prem level, our defenders need to play like they have in the last 6-7 games bar the liverpool game, so giving the captain band to one of them might inspire them to give that little bit more and confidence to take a hold of the game if needed.

Fonte has always done better without the armband. I think he feels the pressure a bit too much.

 

Schneiderlin would be my choice. Experience beyond his years, runs around and leads by example. Confident enough to put his mouth about. Legitimately important player in the starting XI too so not just a leader without decent footballing ability.
