Again, this is a point I've been making, he needs to change his captaincy "style".
He wants to be picked, he probably thinks he should be should be picked, and if he is not on form then he needs to bring real captaincy to the team.
In fairness, I've seen him being more vocal, but he needs to do more.
I'd also point out that if BR dropped him based on his form, this place would probably implode.
Swab, I've read and respected your posting on these boards and for most of the time I've agreed with them.but on this occasion mate, your wrong imo,
Why should Stevie have to change his style of captaincy, it has carried him thru the seasons good and not so good,
Stevie has never been the most vocal of leaders he had people like Carra to do that for him,
We fans can only read of the type of things he does off field in regards to encouraging / mentoring the young lads at lfc, nobody sees the things he does on a day to day basis at melwood etc,
I find it ridiculous that some folk in these pages are so disrespectful after all this lad has given this club, and continues to do so,
He is at the autumn of his career and of course he's not the player of old, but if Brendan thinks he's worthy of playing who are we to argue, I do think tho that Brendan needs to play him less and ease in other players that won't rock the boat too much,
Stevie can still influence a game even tho he's not as mobile these days, but he still has his brain, He still has that killer pass in him, and if I'm honest there ain't to many that can,
I hope he signs another contract, I hope that contract is for two years, I hope we come out of this sticky patch and we can all enjoy the remainder of this living legend's career, I think next season will be his last imo, I think he'll bow out Carra style, even if he's only playing for a hour or brought on late in a game,
It will be a sad day when it happens but, when he walks off the Anfield pitch that last time there won't be many dry eyes in the house,
Steven Gerrard = LEGEND - forever
