This. The received wisdom that he's a defensive 4-4-2 manager who doesn't blood young players is so far off beam it's hilarious.

Chucked Vardy in (not a youngun obviously) before anyone had really noticed he'd hit form and got criticism for it. He's been playing a 433 for the most part with Welbeck or someone else on the left for donkeys and tried to get Shaw, Barkley, Lallana, Sterling etc probably before they were ready, so the only other options he put back in, whilst easing the lads in again and he's accused of forever picking the old guard. For two years and Sturridge out, also Welbeck in and out then the only constant scoring forward player we've had fit, available and scoring is Rooney, who has basically scored us to the finals. Now Hodgson is getting criticism for constantly picking him.
 
England should be playing direct football, not trying to copy Spain. That will never work. Players like Carroll will make it hard for teams like Spain and France, not Welbeck and Sturridge. I'll be bumping this post when the inevitable failure in the Euros will come.

Bump
 
I still stand by want I said and we showed it in the first half yesterday should of been 3 or 4 up. Our 2nd half performance was bad though.

Roy Hodgson's substitutions were questionable but hopefully he will get it right and we will see this team play to their full potential.
 
Lost heart watching England past 15 years

but these new England players are trying and doing a lot better than the Golden generation

old England failed to dominate any game I can remember ( I am sure someone will correct me)

but I am enjoying the Euros

First time for 15 years
 
They're the safest team in the tournament.

Over passing, not one person trying to take anybody on and nobody making a run... It's why we are struggling to score.

Hodgson needs to go
 
I'm enjoying the Euros but this game is so f***ing frustrating. If the bairns weren't asleep in bed I'd be shouting and balling, instead I'm sipping my beer and mumbling things to myself in a huff.

Neebody has had a shot or ran beyond the centre backs . It's boring
 
I really want to believe in them but they keep boring the shit out of me.
