I don't see enough in Gerrard to justify being England captain, he's too much of an individual for me.

A fit and focussed Rio IS better. A fit Ledley King COULD be better. Likewise Johnny Woodgate. I know these are contentious views, and I'll add that I think international footy requires a little more pace...
