If he was being a prick or something like that, I could see the argument for stripping him of the captaincy but he’s not going to get dropped because we have no one else to play there.
Odegaard has always reminded me of a tortured artist....how anyone can look at him and the way he plays and burden him with the captain's armband is beyond me.

Taking that penalty was showing who's the boss. He had no business taking it when we had Jorghino still on the field.

But you are right, he won't lose the armband, only a new manager would have the balls to correct this and identify proper leaders.
