Captain should not be Gallas i dont think this season, I believe Kolo Toure deserves it or Cesc.

About the games last night, once again it was the youngsters who got us the win, just like Barnet and Stutgart. Gibbs was fantastic, he reminded he so much of Gael Clichy when he was attacking on the left. G.Hoyte is fast and he used that well last night, he was good. The goal we conceded was very unlicky and no-one could of done anything. But well done Sanchez Watt and Super SubNacer Barazite. Next up is Ajax, when are Kolo and Cesc going to play??? and i think Merida is still on loan to R.Sociedad.

SF:

I will give him atleast 2 more seasons. Part of the gripe I still have with Gallas choice is that he was so new. As far as his experience, he wasn’t more experienced than Gilberto and his experience as a player does not mean he could be a good leader. He didn’t show his experience @ OT and S Bridge.

One thing I have learned over the years is that while almost every average joe could benefit from experience, to be able to lead, they would still not be as good as a natural leader with little or experience.

The difference between a genius and me is that a genius does not need a lot of time to figure things out while I might require several years to arrive @ the same conclusions. Which can aptly be called experience.

Interesting comments. Can you give it to such a new player though? I know Gallas got it in only his second season but he was far more experienced and in a position of greater influence.

What do others think?

I think the best natural leader we have in the team who could make a phenomenon captain is Sagna. He looks like the guy with the coolest head of anyone in the team. He calmly stayed with Eduardo when everyone couldn’t a few days after his own brother passed away, when he signed, he came out and say (probably was the first to do so) that Arsenal were going to supprise people and win the title(a miss there), and that he would have no problem adapting to the EPL straight away. At that time I thought, this guy was either corky, or he knows his stuff.

He plays like a real leader on the field and acts as one off the field too. I would give him the armband.

Being made a captain tends to go into players heads(gallas, TH14) and when it does it affects performances. Only a very cool head can take it in his stride without it adversely affecting his performance(gilberto) and Sagna fits that role nicely

Hudersfield was a reality check for our youngsters they were poor gave the ball away very cheaply and one player disappointed me very much is Lansbury it didn’t happen for him so is the Hoytes and Djourou they still have a lot to learn. The Midfield pairing of Ramsey and Randall did not work at all. On the positive side Fabianski had a very busy game he has done really well to keep us in the game.Barazite is starting to have a reputation of the supersub.He looks up for it whenever he comes on and he certainly can finish.The other player I liked is Gibbs he looks like another Cole/Clichy type on the conveyer belt.Overall it was a good test for the youngsters and they got the result in the end.

Good question – is he still out on loan at Sociedad?
