Hojbjerg - future captain?

Did anyone else notice that Hojbjerg was talking and gesticulating to the team at the start of the match yesterday just before kick off? We then went into a closer huddle and Yohsida spoke.

I think he and Hoedt could be very big players for us over the next few years if we can stay up.

firstly he needs to make sure he plays, and secondly can we ever think a player if any good will stay with us a couple of years lol

PEH has all the attributes to be captain, but, as the second poster points out, he will probably be flogged at the end of the season for a big fee.

Give him it now and build a team around Him , Boufal and Hoedt !

Was thinking about him ref the captaincy, it's not as if we have many natural leaders around. Possibly a bit too soon but if he has a good second half of the season and is still here come next, I think he could be a good bet.

He's clearly stepped up since he's come back into the side and personally think he is currently outshining our supposed best midfielder Romeu and our big signing Lemina.

Agree with the OP - he can be s big player for us, eventually another good un we've brought in.

We do need a captain but at present I can't think of a player who is certain to start the next game let alone every game.

I like PEH, he is committed in every game he plays. However It wasn't so long ago that fans were cheering ironically (that probably says more about our own fans than him TBH) when he made a pass to our own player...perhaps we should let him become a regular before we think about promotion!

Lol Redmond might be closest to being captain as he nearly always plays!

Think we have always been short for a Captain over the years...need a multi linguist that can say " get back/move you f*^%$($£ c*"!" in japanese, portugese, spanish, english & italian!

Shame Hoj only master English, danish, Swedish and german then

Spot on O.P. The way he's come in and grasped the opportunity he can be our DeBruyne. Let's just hope we can keep him by staying in the EPL

Pretty depressing state of affairs that you're having to put this caveat...

The only player who consistently leaves everything out on the pitch. His desire to get to the Brighton keeper ahead of the two players that were stood further up the pitch than him to close him down and almost get a goal, summed him up. Having classed his performance against Inter Milan last season as one of the worst i'd ever seen, i'm now a huge fan. In what is a dreadful season, something positive has arisen and it's Pierre.

We should make him captain already. Davis is a busted flush. He's too quiet and he doesn't lead by example, and he's no longer good enough to be anything other than a handy backup player.

We do like to sell our captains - Lallana, Fonte, VVD.

He was horrific that day! But I'd never lost hope on him, because when he first joined he immediately stood out as having a bit of class. In the same way that Lemina did, and also Gabbiadini.

PEH is probably my favourite player now. Love his attitude and his approach.

...if he stays...

Felt for him last night. One of the few who married effort & ability last night. Would be a more inspirational choice than Davis or Yoshi, definitely.

Pierre is one my favourites, leads by example and gave his all last night so definitely worth a captaincy role. That moment when he chased down the Brighton keeper and hit him and came back off the bar deserved him a goal alone.
