The Captains Armband is supposed to be given to a player who can "Coach" while on the Pitch. It is not based solely upon skill, the amount of goals scored, cups won, birthplace or celebrity status. Liverpool Football Club is an Institution. Every game their are only 11 people on the Earth that pull on that Red Shirt and walk onto that pitch representing LFC.
Gerrard is the captain because he deserved it, because it was best for Liverpool. So, ask yourselves, what is best for Liverpool, RIGHT NOW!
Gerrard is in a slump. His attitude and performance is far below that of the last 5 seasons. Why? Who knows. But, we need emotion, we need a Captain who can change their attitude and turn a dejected team, playing below their abilities, too a team with nothing to lose and everything to win. I want them playing with fire.
