There has to be a way he can be made captain

It is not the armband that makes a captain so why are you so upset with Lascelles being captain. A reel captain does more of the pitch than on the pitch. What do we know it could be Lascelles is the most respected and honest guy to have in the dressingroom if everybody trust him. When I played football at decent level we had 3 to 4 captains on the field.

Aye i get your point. I think the problem for most of this season is that Lascelles has been a shower of sh!te most of the time and has been responsible for a lot of goals conceded. People probably think a captain should be leading by example and not making so many mistakes

Although it would probably help performances, I don't think it helps the team togetherness to unceremoniously strip it off Lascelles right now.

It could foster "them and us" mentality, which is the last thing we need now.

Do that it Summer.

I agree 200% with this. Lascelles had a great game against Everton, done everything a captain should be doing, ok he conceded an own goal, but I don’t see it as his mistake, the ball hit him on the chest, nothing he could have done about it. I believe that Just having Trippier on the field has taken a load off Lascelles shoulders, Trippier is a captain as well, only without the title or armband, and that’s how it should stay IMO. It would be wrong to change captain now and Howe will realise that,he’s a great man manager by the looks of it.
