Our team as individuals has improved since hodgson came in yet the team and style of play (if there is one) has gone backwards massively. Hodgson is a fraud but a fraud who is also a yes man to the fa so will still be in charge at the next World Cup too.
 
we played very well tonight and should have killed the game BUT at 1-0 Hodgson had a chance to be tactically clever and everyone whether they were a fan, pundit etc knew it.

Russia were getting on the ball so with a tiring back four you take Kane off bring Vardy on and get him on his bike often with his pace he would have killed them on the counter, additionally Rooney coming off was an interesting one. Wilshire done bits but he just coming back so that was a risky decision with the game finely poised. Additionally Milner on was daft.....for the goal he didn't bother to deal with the player about to cross the ball.

He could have maybe even took off sterling and Kane off and brought Stones and Vardy on and went three centre halfs with Rose and Walker as wingback but into a back five if needed to nullify the late charge from russia as expected and when needed ping it long over the top into corners for Vardy as he would be willing to run them into the ground late on as he has done where needed for leicester
 
England have a history of having good players..yet seem to find it hard to beat poor teams...just like tonight ...

It's a result of trying to play a team of good players rather than a team that works well as a team. He's trying to accommodate Rooney, Kane, Alli and/or Vardy when Vardy and Kane are very similar players and Alli plays best when in the position Rooney plays for England.

Play to your strengthens...Vardy would have killed them off with a few balls over the top, yet he couldn't or wouldn't see it...
