How long could he keep going for England if he doesn’t retire?
MA: If he doesn’t retire from national team duty one would imagine Euro 2016 would be his potential swan song.
AD: It would be unlikely that he would depart mid-qualifying campaign for UEFA Euro 2016, but Gerrard may feel he has one major tournament left in him.
JC: One more qualifying campaign, and Euro 2016. Let’s leave it at that, and he can walk away as England’s most capped ever player.
GH: Euro 2016 will be is last tournament if he does continue.
SG: IT would be Euro 2016 for sure, he wouldn’t go all the way through qualifying just to step aside by the time the big show rolled around.
Could he cope with the demands of the upcoming season with Liverpool’s return to the Champions League?
MA: He would struggle, all the more reason that he calls time on his England career
AD: Gerrard remains in excellent condition for 34 years of age, but did suffer a couple of niggly injuries last season. If international football remains on his agenda, Brendan Rodgers may have to manage his appearances in cup competitions.
JC Yes. He’s a brilliant professional, and does much less running now anyway as he sits deep instead of providing a box-to-box influence.
GH: Possibly – he has been relatively injury free over the last few years but has had problems in the past. Liverpool are so reliant on his presence, they’d hate to lose him.
SG: Yes, because he wouldn’t be used for every single game. Brendan Rodgers may not have any Champions League experience but he will know when to use certain players and when to give them a breather.
