This is getting ridiculous now. Steven Gerrard has done more than enough for Liverpool than to be allowed to captain his country against Germany, irrespective of it being a friendly. It'll be a big occasion against Germany at Wembley.
Anyway, we should all be judging Gerrard's decision after the derby, if he's a passenger in that, we'll all know why but maybe it's a little early to be calling him this and that.

This season is our best chance to fluke a 4th place,I cannot understand the logic from Steven and the club in risking a long term injury for a poxy friendly,regardless of who the opposition is.

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.

Sounds to me that the injection is NOT so he can play against the Germans but for his hip. If there was a major problem Liverpool would recall him back. Slow News Day

Lot's of people wanted him benched, and now that he has been selected to play, he is being called all sorts of things here. In any case, is this only his decision? I think the club could convince him not to play if they thought it was a big risk.

To be fair, he is now englands captain, and his time as england captain is actually very limited. Its over after this world cup realistically, although it pains me to see gerrard more fired up for england games than liverpool games these days, I can understand why. He's been exhiled from the champions league for years, so the internationals is the only opportunity he is getting to play against the world elite. I think it is extremely fickle and stupid of ANYONE to question his commitment to LFC, he could have left and won way more trophies loads of times, he could have left for way more money, but he never. He pretty much single handedly won us a champions league and has carried some really [oops] poor liverpool teams on his back for years. I'm quite frankly shocked to hear people saying things like that about him. He knows his career is on the wane, the least you could do is allow him the priveledge of captaining his country... I mean that's surely every footballers dream to one day captain their country? And again, against germany! Come on now lads, some common sense! Spot on. I don't want him to get hurt, but to be angry with him for wanting to Captain his country against Germany? Some people need to seriously chill out.

If he is in any way injured or not right he doesn't play end of
....its madness. Say he does himself a real injuring worsens a niggle. Could put him out of the world cup (say he'd regret it then) and all for a friendly. I'd rather captaimy country in a world cup than in a friendly

So anfield if gerrard gets injured and is out for 3 months of a crucial season, will it still have been common sense for him to have captained England in a pointless friendly against the old enemy?If this happens is it ok because he singlehandedly? won the champions league or carried poor Liverpool teams in the past few years.As we all know he owes his club his waning years
