1 year agoI think a Captain isn’t just what happens on the pitch
He’s also the example and that individual of the pitch
Though I can’t stand John Terry you could tell he was the epitome of the club, same with Keane, Gerrard and Vieira.
To be Devil’s Advocate I can’t think of one current Captain who embodies that for me. There’s good club captains presently but none who you look at and think ‘at that club there’s no one else I could think of who could be Captain’
But Fernandes doesn’t strike me as a guy who galvanises this team, I can’t believe that if United played Newcastle on a wet freezing night and he slipped on a short sleeved top the rest of the team would follow suit.
I hope they keep him as captain for a long time
Elneny is such a handy player for those 10mins as he knows his role:
Defence is looking leggy Forwards are pretty much out of ideas And the Midfield is a bit sus
He comes on plugs the gap in the middle to try and help the defence, and just spray the ball forward to secure that 1-0 lead at Luton.
Genius
