Next England captain
Gerrard no longer seems inspirational or special.
I know you shouldn't judge a player on press conferences as he may be great in the changing room but on pitch Gerrard now just seems inert and languid. It's not simply an age thing as Italy's Buffon was great in the Euros. I feel like SG's coasting on his champions league heroics, and I feel anyone half decent could have acheived what Liverpool achieved in 2014. Compare and contrast with other captains eg Chilean keeper Bravo, Holland's 2 captain's RVP and Robben, Australia's Mile Jedinak. When those guys do press conferences and interviews there's a massive spark and even I sit up and listen. Gerrard is a spent force.
We need a new player with leadership qualities and actually someone under 28 who's brave and can lead by example and vocally imo. Joe Hart and Tim Cahill have been leading the troops more than Gerrard.
