I can only see VvD as becoming our team captain at some time in the future.. it can only be a matter of time.

Ox gets sent out every game to talk to the camera's, he will be the next captain. Sadly Henderson's injuries have screwed him.

I’d be amazed if Ox is made captain. He does media work because he’s articulate, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s captain in waiting though!

I think klopp has a problem with Henderson now. Being captain they should be a dead cert in the first 11 but we are slowly improving and becoming better every season.
He was brilliant for us in the 13/14 season and half of the 16/17 season but injuries have affected him and imo he doesn’t offer enough protection in front of the defence.
With Can maybe going that position needs investing and properly in a top class player. Keita and Wijnaldum aren’t holding players so we definitely need someone again if Can leaves.

This!
People just I’ve to hate on Hendo, but it’s the injuries that are catching up with him!
Which isn’t good as he needs game to gain form

You'll see. Klopp obviously see's something in him that none of us did if we are all totally honest when he was signed for that amount of money. I honestly believe he see's him as a captain.

Good point - I love that nearly everyone on here (self-included) was underwhelmed by Ox's signing...It's almost as if Klopp knows what he's doing
Don't care if Ox is made captain, because VVD is going to be the boss man anyway!

The one thing I've ever got right on this board was that Ox would be a success

Absolutely willing to hold my hands up and say that I thought Ox would be an expensive substitute. Not a bad player, just one we didn't particularly need.
Thing is, I'm still not sure he'll be in our best team next year. I know he's playing well but if we picked a cup final team then I think the front 3 pick themselves and with Keita coming in then there's basically 1 spot left. And Klopp has £140m burning a hole in his pocket...
I like Ox. Seems like a decent fella and is a good player but I'm still not 100% sold on him as a first 11 player. Cracking squad player to have though.

He's still a kid!
Look at how Coutinho has evolved, he has always been creative, but now he's added goals to his game

You don't have to be captain to be a leader on the pitch, look at Cara, Gerrard always says Cara was the leader on the pitch even if gerrard was captain.
We defo lack leadership on the pitch, when you go through the team we actually have very few, so VVD and ox stepping up is good for this.

Personally I’m not sure I’d categorise a 24 year old with 150 appearances for big clubs (Arsenal and Liverpool) and 30 international caps as a kid.
Yeah there’s room for growth, of course there is, and he’s probably 18 months to 2 years off his peak. But he’s way too experienced to be considered a kid imo.
