Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says he would love to take his attacking role into action with England.

"I am loving it, which is why you are seeing the best of me," said Gerrard.

"I would love nothing better than to be given the chance to play there for England to try to find that form."

Such a move by manager Fabio Capello would come at a cost to Wayne Rooney, who has previously been thought of as an automatic choice in the deeper attacking slot.

"Wayne Rooney can play anywhere," was Gerrard's instant reaction when the potential problem was pointed out.
