Following reports that Jordan Henderson is set to be named Liverpool captain on Friday, Reds supporters have generally reacted with positivity.
Jordan Henderson is set to take over as Liverpool captain this week, following the departure of Steven Gerrard, and Reds supporters have reacted favourably to the news.
Henderson will take over from Gerrard after the 35-year-old’s move to LA Galaxy this summer.
The former Sunderland midfielder often filled in for Gerrard last season, and showed strong signs of leadership both on and off field.
Here’s the best of the social media reaction to Henderson’s likely appointment.
Reports suggest that Jordan Henderson is set to be named as Liverpool’s new captain tomorrow. Delighted for him. Well deserved.

#henderson set to be named captain of #lfc in a few days. Big shoes to fill but he's one of the logical choices.

Look at all these people moaning about Henderson as captain. He is the most deserving in the current lot.

I love Jordan Henderson. Done well when he's been skipper so far, but always played within himself with Gerrard on the pitch. Main man now.

Hopefully he can step his game up a level now he's the main man. I wonder if Milner will come in as his understudy?

Meanwhile, Henderson’s appointment is due to be announced once Rodgers decides on his replacement as vice-captain, with Mamadou Sakho, James Milner, Lucas Leiva and Martin Skrtel considered for the role.
Liverpool supporters have also had their say on who the Reds should choose as Henderson’s deputy.
Vice Captain HAS to go to Skrtel imo

I'd have Lucas as vice captain but hey that's me.. don't mind me
— Mohammed (@Mo__LFC) July 9, 2015
Sakho or Coutinho are my choices for vice captain
— John O'Sullivan (@NotoriousJOS) July 9, 2015
Would like to see Skrtel named vice-captain for his years of loyalty to the club

Vice should be Sakho. It won't be, but it should be.
