Only about 5 did it from what I saw and apparently Snodgrass had to tell most of them. Oggy wasn't one of them that went over.
Maybe just, “it’s an honour to be given the captains arm band in Nobes’s absence”.
I believe Nobes is showing leadership by doing all of those things you mention, he’s clearly taking to players and giving instruction/direction.
Balbuena was captain at Corinthians but maybe his English isn't as good as Oggy's, if he's shouting in Spanish then most of the team won't know what he's on about.

15 touches, 10 passes attempted, 9 passes completed, dispossessed twice, no tackles, no runs, no shots. Subbed at half time.
:hmm:
MP can’t coach? Oggie not worthy of being a captain?
Firstly regarding MP then there were probably a couple of questionable selection decisions but that’s par for the course most games and with most managers, I’m pretty sure what they work on all week dictates that in part, also he made the right change at HT, credit due there and with pretty much 2 up top while 0-0 then it was a positive change.
Antonio May be a bull in a china shop at times but his threat and runs gave us an outlet we didn’t have, also after shipping 5 MP was probably craving a clean sheet. For once the opposition didn’t take their chances and we were almost good for a smash and grab that has so often happened to us. Chico did what Chico can do, he’s a goalscorer and that’s what he did, with a fantastic forwards run across the line to stay inside. Just as well MP didn’t see some of the advice on here!
Lanzini looked better but his diving is seriously giving me the ache. Fredericks looked okay, Masuaku had his usual defensive moments but was key for our goal. Back to OGbonna, he really seems like an easy scapegoat at times, yes backing off and turninf for the goal isn’t good but previous to that he’d made 3/4 decent blocks, Diop was unlucky as his initial interception came away from him
VAR - that’s how I want to see it with the offside, that’s what it’s good for, clear and obvious mistakes not a gnats kneecap offside (like sterling last week), one moan, I think Antonio should’ve had a penalty and really cant see how that wasn’t given.
They certainly wasted a good few chances but we had a couple as well, if we’d lost could we of complained? Probably not but we didn’t we take the point and we move on.
COYI
Other than his diving I have to say he has had a great start to the season, including pre-season.
I thought it was a very solid point & I liked the way we grinded it out, something MP teams are often not known for.
Let’s get the Monday optimism going. :wahoo:
After the game, Pelle commented on the number of deliberate fouls made by City players to break up our attacks.
BBC have crunched the numbers, and it seems that he has a point.
One thing that riles me up is that you have pundits saying "yeah but we've always had that", but in the next breath they say that diving is appalling?
Sean Dyche wants to talk about people getting the chance to cheat once each per game, maybe he should direct his rage at people deliberately fouling the opposition to gain an advantage.
It's all rule breaking but for some reason one type is vilified and one is accepted
(Although, not be me it's not!)
It’s in the small print of his contract
