Frank Lampard

Roy Hodgson:

"Naturally, I'm a little disappointed that Frank has chosen to retire from international football. It means we've lost our valuable captain and vice captain at the same time. I now have to look at new names to fill these positions.

There are some obvious candidates within the squad. Glenn Johnson has been a mainstay for the past few seasons, and I know from my experiences at Liverpool just what good characteristics he has. Similarly, Adam Lallana has had good experience of captaining a Premier League team at Southampton, and now he has moved up a level at Liverpool, he can expect to feature more so he perhaps is an option. Jordan Henderson is another younger player who has shown leadership abilities way beyond his years. Also we must not forget the likes of Daniel Sturridge who, in a way, has been a real leader from the front for my team and for Liverpool. All in all, I think we can be confiedent of finding new and emerging leaders in the squad."

What did Nasri do?

Be French

I don't want to be "that guy" but the French have more military victories to their name than any other country, they are very adept in battle

Not sure why Brenda decided to replace Suarez with Balotelli

Now you have 2 lazy feckers leading the line and people will soon figure out how to play against Sterling

Good, now we can have a good CM base.

Agree about Balo and Sturridge but we have to admit Sterling is hugely talented. Hard to believe he's just 19

Sterling is quality but he's still a kid and needs to be used wisely.

He would thrive in a big club.

We know what we will get from Sturridge and Balotelli.

"I don't want to be "that guy" but the French have more military victories to their name than any other country, they are very adept in battle "

I actually said that about Nasri in the first place in jest of other people that do Bruce
