Who would be your future captain after Gerrard?

By the time Gerrard is ready to retire (say at 37), Reina, Agger and Masch would be grown-azz players too.

So look to Lucas or....... LUCAS REALLY

Martin Kelly.

Due to the fact that Stevie has at least four years left in him by the time he does hang up his boots Kelly should be a regular in this side and ready to take the mantle, hopefully as a centre half.

Excellent point.

Pepe.

Pepe Reina, Daniel Agger or Martin Kelly.

Pepe.

I see a lot of post writing Gerrard off as having only 3-4 seasons left, really?  I know its a grueling schedule, numerous matches with, league,cups, FA, Europe, bit a consensus on here seems only 3-4 seasons left playing?

If he can stay realtively match fit why cant he play for another 6-7 seasons at least.  Naturally he'd slow down a bit , but even a 70% Gerrard is better than most in the league. Maybe the Captains band changes but he can still play for those seasons.

Hes not an OVERLY physical player, he seems to have good conditioning and never had a debilitating Injury. No major surgeries or joint rebuilds. I know he had some Muscle strains,groin and Hamstring but, he still seems young enough to carry the team into 2015-16 campaign.  Maybe play the upcoming WC then hang it up for International like Carragher, concentrate more on Liverpool in the later years.  We know he's retiring a Red, then going to the Club Front Office or maybe Mgr one day. Last season he could take a player/coach position.

Am I overstating his conditioning or Issues.  Am I wrong?

I 3/4/5 years time... I can see Nando taking over as captain.

No one has said Babel yet 

I was thinking of Voronin.

Yeah, Torres would be a good choice. He has captained a team before and has the hang of it.
Otherwise which other option have we got? Maybe Mascherano? He captains Argentina National team after all.

Torres is the most likely choice.

Other than him i see an academy graduate taking up the mantle.

Or just to screw certain folk on here up and because i can i'd go for Lucas

Being the world's best forward, it's already a heavy burden and we're just gonna 'expect' more from him if the arm band is given to Torres.

I'd like to think that Daniel Agger would be a pretty good choice. He hasn't looked as a leader yet but that may change in 3-4 years.

Either Martin Kelly or Dani Agger

Pepe.

Is right! And further on Kelly please God

Pepe Reina, without a doubt.

But Stevie still has plenty of years left in him.

LUCAS !

I reckon if he develops accordingly and manages to forge himself a career here at Anfield we may just see Jay Spearing taking up the mantle.

Kelly, Agger or Pacheco.

Babel

I'd like to think that Daniel Agger would be a pretty good choice. He hasn't looked as a leader yet but that may change in 3-4 years.

The opposite effect could also happen and he could become an even better player than he already his. He definatly leads by example.

I think Darby.

I'm saying Pepe Reina as well.  Gerrard has already touted him as a great candidate to take the armband after him.

His passion is second to none compared to half of these stains that appear to 'play' for Liverpool every week.

The passion Pepe Reina has, especially for a foreign player, is phenomenal. He would be an ideal candidate.

I'd also say Agger would be up there in my own estimations.

Martin Kelly is a shout though. Would like to see that in a few years time.

100% Pepe, he's F***ing great isn't he. Amount of passion and drive for success is unbelievable, and he's pretty vocal on the pitch.

Does anyone else think having your GK as your captain is a little problematic though? He's not exactly in the thick of it the whole time, although with our current defending he would be.

I think if Spearing had played more this season and could then push on over the years he'd have been a good candidate.

Masch for me if he stays he is a natural successor to Stevie.
