So this is not derby related but what does everyone make of our current captaincy situation.
For me Jags has never been the best captain. Barry and Baines seem to be able to do a job but for me none of these players really seem to be vocal enough on the pitch or to be able to get the side going.
Williams seems like an obvious captain but might be a big ask for someone who hasn't even had a full season at the club.
I would reckon Coleman could take us in the right direction. He's incredibly vocal on the pitch, seems well respected and has enough experience with the club and in the league to make more of an impact than what we are getting from our current captain (s) .

Williams for me.
Or, if RK decides to keep his faith in Barkley - why not show complete faith in him and make him captain next season? It could be the making of him giving him the responsibility that Gerrard had across the way.
He would sink or swim that's for sure, and it's not like there's a long list of alternatives.

Coleman or Barkley.

Coleman has become a really good international captain. He has some fire in his belly. You may not agree but he's exceptional for Ireland since the captaincy. Plus he might stay with that faith shown to him.

Coleman or Williams would be my pick too.
Must say I'm not sure making Barkley captain would help his game. He looks like a player at the moment that is under enormous pressure and doesn't seem equipped to handle it. Feel like making him captain would just make that worse and see his form and fragile confidence crumble even more.
{Ed025's Note - ross will never captain everton, hes not very vocal and to be honest hardly leads by example CT..

The lad's (Coleman) an animal, he would make a cracking Captain.
