For me, at the moment, its not so much whether Luka should pass the captaincy to Cahill but whether he comes straight back into the side for the next match.

We saw against the Hammers that we can perform well without him. I think his performances of late have not been anything special and all too often his passing is poor. And sometime soon he is going to be sent off.

Having said that I suspect Roy will put him straight back into the team.

That's not really my point, after he has been booked with a yellow, he often keeps making heavy challenges, we have all seen it, its not a rare occasion, he has got away from getting a red on numerus times, I would add that many of those second challenges were unnecessary, and as captain he shouldn't be taking those risks.
I am not knocking him bye the way, I like him as much as everyone.

I understand your argument.
No stranger to a yellow but only 1 red in over 3 years.In actual fact in 7 seasons he has picked up 63 yellows but only 2 reds.Perhaps he is astute enough to avoid that second yellow by making tackles which result in a foul,and helping his team,but of not sufficient severity or seriousness to warrant a card!

My post was in response to a question as to whether he had been sent off for us and I answered the question by pointing out that the last time he was sent off was playing for his former club.

I have never even seen Luka make a heavy challenge, that is not his game. Nearly all his bookings are for cynical trips to break up play which is great because it’s a big part of the modern game and every team is at it.
