Morgan if that's what it takes to keep him here, but Fonte to me seems a more natural leader.

 

Steve Davis is (as far as I know) the only first team player with much experience as a captain but giving it to him would depend entirely on how secure his spot in the team is. He excelled under Pochettino but Koeman might see his role differently.

 

Lovren looked like a captain in waiting last season, but that obviously isn't happening now and was unlikely anyway as he's relatively new to the club.

 

I think it's a real shame that we never got to see Rickie Lambert lead us for a season.

Genuinely, I feel he is declining as a player.... Which is on the face of it madness when he is currently at the peak of his professional standing. However, I stand by my feeling. He peaked with us and now will enjoy a brief Indian summer before his journeyman joints succumb to the excesses he indulged in during the early part of his career. He is easily worth 4m to Liverpool, but not a Captain.

 

He is still absolutely my favourite professional footballer... Yet he is at his apex. Only one way to go.

Oh yeah, I don't mean that if he'd stayed we would or should have made him captain, just that it would have been good to see it at some point during his time with us.

Interesting that Koeman mentioned Steven Davis as a player he had spoken to in order to assess the mood in the dressing room. If Koeman sees him as being influential in the squad and someone he can work through, Davis must be a strong candidate for the captaincy.

Fonte, Davis and Morgan are brilliant options to have as first team captain. All more suited to the role than Lallana. I picked Morgan simply because if he stays he is our best player and will be the first name on the team sheet if fit.

But of those three, I suspect Moegan is the only guarenteed starter in the team.

 

Depending of course on who comes in, or leaves.
