I find it hilarious how people can say 'as soon as Stevie is no longer a first team player, he has to hand over the armband'
The fact of the matter is Gerrard is probably the best British midfielder of his generation, and one of the best worldwide for a number of years, who's to say he won't still be in the first team when he decides to retire?
Too many are quick to jump the gun.
Calm down! We're only discussing potential captains - no one is saying that we should release Gerrard on a free transfer with immediate effect! What's the problem?

Whether Stevie is a natural leader or not, I hope the armband comes up for auction at the end of the season.
No one will deny he's not the player he once was, we all know what he's done for the club and the highs he once took us to - but those days are behind him now.
His mood and temperament just come across as narky, he reminds me of Shearer when he was still the England captain long after he'd peaked, picked first and foremost because of the armband...
Hyppia was man enough to accept his time as captain was up when Ged handed it to Stevie - I would expect Stevie to act inturn when it's given to Dagger next summer.

there are different types of captains and they lead in different ways. Sami was the strong silent type that people looked to as a calm collected player that never gets frazzled at any situation.
Gerrard was the swashbuckling, all action, i can carry this team alone captain.
maybe the future captain is one that gets this team ticking and calls for calm when the chips are down. if we continue to mature in the BR's way, what we may need is one person to ensure we stay positive and true to our game
that said - we need a consistent player, one who just gets on with the job. that person sounds like Allen.

some people (vish M for instance)BRING NOTHING TO THE THREAD
it is purely for debate and no one is saying Gerrard is finished or should be stripped of the captaincy.
I just wanted to create a thread that is not talking about Liverpool wearing red.
Sorry
I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom

Now you mention it,we should always wear red when possible.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

When I first saw that Purple kit I hated it with a passion, I thought we're not the LA Lakers!!
I've come to warm to it now though.

Joe Allen for me will be the next captain. As someone said it should go to someone who'll keep things ticking over in the middle and grab the game by the scruff of the neck. And i honestly think Allen will be that player. That said im not to worried because i know Gerrard will be captain for another 2 seasons at least.
