Gerrard outlines five-year playing plan

[Bender]

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has set himself the target of playing for another five years.

Gerrard, 31 in May, admits he has been lifted by Kenny Dalglish's return as manager in the last fortnight. And he wants to carry on playing for as long as possible, although he has considered taking his coaching badges like team-mate Jamie Carragher.

''It's not my main priority or focus at the moment, I still think that's a long way off,'' he told LFC Weekly. ''I believe I can play football for another four or five years but I do sometimes think about what I'm going to do when I finish playing.

''I would like to stay involved in some capacity, whether that's on the media side or in the dugout we'll have to wait and see. I will certainly try to get my coaching qualifications at some point.''

Arn will be so pleased.

Especially if he does his badges and stays at the club. Personally I hope he does.

Fourth best player we've ever had, but I'm not sure he has the intellect to become a manager. He leads by example on the pitch and he's obviously an inspiration when he's on form, but I don't believe he's a great captain.

He's the next Stuart Pearce. Demands respect for his attitude and achievements but a numpty when it comes to tactics etc.

Perhaps it will do him some good to see how indiscipline affects the whole team structure?
