After watching the game yesterday, the most notable thing to me ,was the lack of an on-field captain.
Full credit to Liverpool,they won well,and are a very good team,they seemed to have a few captains running about,whereas we didn't have one !
Our team is young and needs someone to shout and cajole the younger players,that was not noticeable to me yesterday,our more experienced players went AWOl it seems to me .
Perhaps Thiago will be a short term solution,but I think that Frank has to give it serious consideration.
A captain.

You might get your wish, HH.
New goalkeeper Mendy is supposed to be a leader...commanding goalkeeper more than anything else is what is required.

Former coach: 'Edouard is a top guy, he does not pose any problem, of course.
The opposite. In the game, this morning again in training, he is a driving force, he communicates with everyone, he talks a lot, he is still the leader in the locker room."

mf,he certainly seems to be a positive forceful personality,,definately an upgrade on Kepa !Just what is needed. Kepa should have gone after that cup final fiasco in my opinion.
