looks like i'm the only who vote barry....

i voted for stevie G but my second choice is gareth barry
I used my bro account to vote for barry =)

neville...he has the exp at the back..can organise attack n lay some pin-point crosses..just lack the finishing

I voted for Barry too. He's a good captain and he almost left Aston Villa. He couldn't stand working another season under David O'Leary. Thank god Martin O'Neill came and persuaded him to stay. They're doing well at the moment....and he's their Penalty taker. Hasn't missed this season and he always shoots towards the middle of the goal. Commentator once said, "Do the keepers ever learn?".....

the reason o neill went for barry as captain was not because of his leadership qualities but because he wanted barry to stay at the club and sign a contract. as for gerrard, i think he is a great leader when he plays well. when he doesnt, play well, liverpool isnt led by anyone

Without a doubt, Stevie G. Even though i'm a Man Utd supporter, i'll have to say Gerrard is probably the best captain i've seen in EPL since Roy Keane.

which kop die hard fan will forget strike against Olympiakos, 3-3 back at Istanbul and last minute strike against West Ham and play as right back at final...btw i am a liverpool fan and very glad have stevie in our team and my second choice is John Terry bcoz he play really well even better than our Carradona...

but the question is can gerrard lead a team of stars like england and chelsea? if judging by performance, henry and gerrard will win by a landslide. but roy keane didnt always score crucial goals did he? hierro who was regarded a great captain too didnt score great goals? more so for cafu, did u see him score goals in dying seconds of games? they too are great leaders for their teams. for me its more than just delivering 10/10 performances on the pitch. why is Gaz manu's leader and not ronaldo/rooney/vidic as captain? they are better than Gaz IMO and no manu fan will ever argue that Rooney is a better footballer than Gaz.

leader doesnt have to score goals to win the heart of fans n managers alike. they juz have to be the "big brother" and keep the lads heads up when they are down, shout at them when needed etc.

John Terry....

IMO its not easy to lead a team full of egos and stars in Chelsea.

a great leader does not need to score goals,win title or anything.in fact what a captain should do is keep inspiring and motivate the players to be enthusiastic all the time.in short,a captain can be called as part time coach for me.for current epl i would vote steven gerrard.he has the qualities there.he's active on the pitch,assists and score goals and that motivates the other players alot.when he passes,everyone seems to follow the flow and keep it nice n tidy passes.not every captain can be like this.as many ppl here said,henry is influential but have to disagree that he's a good captain.when u see vieira the formar captain of arsenal,u'll see the father of the team.same to manchester united's former captain roy keane.every argument,he's there.most of the tackles,he commit that.

truely said,captain like vieira,gerrard and roy keane are hardly can be found.truely a leader with passion and motivation.

Need not to think.




G

for me, a leader is able to spice up team's spirit, knock the sleeper's head, awaken them.

^that's so gerrard at istanbul champions league.

Thierry Henry is my fav player...but when comes to a captain,Steven Gerrard is better among all...




Agree ...when u said "every argument,he's there." makes me think back of Paul Ince (argues alot on the pitch)

Look at my avatar man.
Sheer RESPECT for the man , Theirry Henry

lets see how chelsea perform if terry isnt playing...
and compared to gerrard if he dont play...how liverpool perform...

then you will c a clearer picture ,who is more influential ...

Steven Gerrard is a good leader, inspirational midfielder.

i vote for gary neville but if i had another poll i 'll choose gareth barry..well said enuf..the others?ermmm..juz ok~

I vote for Steven Gerrard
