I've got some bizarre looks for this suggestion in the past few months, but his legs have completely gone.
He's not a game changer any more, so what does he have in his locker?
He doesn't have the legs to run the midfield. He just places himself in front of the defence, makes himself available now and again, and does very little.
Gareth Barry got the bad press for his poor performance in the 2010 World Cup against Germany, Gerrard escaped criticism then - despite being just as bad. Now he's currently hiding behind the Rooney criticism.
Drop him, get a bit of dynamism in midfield, and we can run games with a bit of energy, instead of Gerrard stagnating EVERY move, and letting opposition midfields run him ragged.
He's escaped criticism for so long - because he is Steven Gerrard. Fed up of it, get him gone. He should do the honourable thing and retire, because I fear it'll need that for him to be dropped.
Drop Gerrard.

Kneejerk? Haven't you watched England for the last 4 years?
This has been building up since South Africa.
Brainwashed by the big name, some people.

Instead of writing generic sound bites it would be good if you could address the points that I have raised otherwise you saying we should drop our top performing midfielder sounds a bit silly.

Drop Gerrard/rooney seems to be sponsoring the England team in this World Cup
You English lads do like a good moan
Gerrard is by far the best option for the deeper role England have, he's a great captain and leader and his influence on the squad is pivitoal.
And it's hilarious, drop Gerrard but play Henderson and Jack W as a deep mf pair this OP wants a FIFA team without a player he dislikes

Gerrard has been rubbish for years now. Used to perform well in poor Liverpool sides but has been utterly useless for England throughout his entire career *
*Like Rooney, he does okay against minnows in friendlies and qualifiers. Like Rooney, he is a big match bottlejob.

Rooney misses a sitter from a yard and Gerrard totally lost.

I'll give Gerrard his due - he's good at fist pumping.

Another shocking performance to add to the batch.
Let Uruguay just walk through for their goal, and headed it back to Suarez for the 2nd.
Goodbye, hope to never see him in an England shirt again.

His name is Luis Suarez, he wears te famous red,
I just can't get enough, i just can't get enough,
When he scores a volley and when he scores a head, i just can't get enough, i just can't get enough,
He scores a goal and the kop go wild and i just can't seem to get enough Suarez
