  but i feel gerrard should be better choice since he can lead in attacks, whereas a captain in defence will hold strong solid defend which might be boring.

  boring ? the one who holds the defense line. needs to read the game best. react the fastest. be in the best position. exude calm & confidence to the team.
  players like this they normally become legends. Example; Bobby Moore, Beckenbauer, Desailly, Tony Adams

  I agree. Whilst I think that midfielders are also tactically in a good position to read the game and lead the game, I cannot understand why some managers choose forwards to be captains from a tactical point of view. I am looking forward to an Age of Sensibility from this England squad. They are still severely short of talent and depth but hopefully more steel and resolute.
