Tottenham Hotspur player Scott Parker was given the nod by Stuart Pearce ahead of the friendly with Holland tonight. But not everybody is happy.
Former Liverpool player Ryan Babel tweeted his surprise that Gerrard was overlooked by Pearce, and a number of Liverpool fans feel the same way, with some describing it as an outrage…
@Ryan Babel: I respect Parker as a player, good midfielder .. But we are talkin about Steve G here..
And here is what the fans are saying on Twitter…
@keswickbro: Can see Gerrard retiring after the Euros anyway F***theFA
@Jay_78_:Parker England captain. A man with only 10+ caps aged 30. Time to quit Stevie, concentrate on #LFC.#ScouseNotEnglish#ClubBeforeCountry
@arturpetrosyan: If Gerrard is gutted about the FA decision he should just remember Carra’s words: “F*ck it, it’s only England”. #LFC
@zarifrasul: A man with 10 caps and an Intertoto Cup over player with 89 caps, all domestic cups and two European trophies. Figures. #LFC #England#THFC
@chasingabehin: how can gerrard not be england captain? mistake! #lfc #england#englandcaptain
@s_k112: No surprise #LFCplayers getting treated like rubbish once again by England.

M_crosby84: Gerrard needs to f*** england right off! Got bigger and better priorities with #LFC
@joaozinho: Stevie G has been snubbed by England for his entire career. And they all wonder why he never replicates his #LFC form?
@musker_lfc: The only thing I want Gerrard to do for England now is quit. The national team don’t deserve him. #LFC
@craigdOZ: #StevieG #LFC Stevie G class in everything he does.. Will still be pivotal for England#englanddontdeserveStevieG #Parker
@paul_shatliff: I think parker is captain cos dont see gerrard playing much tonight after playing for 2hrs sunday!! #LFC#England #EnglandCaptain
@hazardtwinchato: Scott Parker as England captain over Steven fucking Gerrard? #WTF?! This is an outrage. #LFC
@brynwilliams1: The #FA and #England – morons the lot of them!!! #Gerrard should retire from international football NOW!#LFC #YNWA #NL
@freiahill: Gerrard is the obvious and best choice for England captain. #LFC
Do you agree, should Steven Gerrard have got the captaincy instead of Parker? Let us know?
