Euro 2016 - Day 2

I can only assume that Hodge thinks that centre backs are the best bet to score from corners. I can't see any other reason the great steaming nit would tell Kane to take them all.

Sterling blew that game, he wasted so much possession, so many good breaks. He hasn't progressed for two years. Just like for us, you can see in his eyes, when he sprints towards the penalty area, he doesn't want to go on. He doesn't fancy beating a player and he doesn't fancy cutting in and having a shot. If anything he's regressed, because he doesn't look up and pass, either. That late break, especially, was woeful the way he threw it away.
 
I thought the substitute Hodge made, highlighted Hodgson tactics..

Took of Rooney off for what many regard as Defensive Midfielder and Sterling off for Milner..

It was clear Hodgson wanted to play out the 1-0 win with those substitutes.. We had strikers on the bench he did not use.. Probably 1 who is the closest we have to a World Class Player in Studge and another who was the Premier League player of the season.. Why not bring one of them on ??

But Hodge does what he always does.. set up his team Not too lose, rather than win...

Who regards Jack Wilshere as a defensive midfielder?
 
Hes not an attack minded defensive midfielder and ANYONE who thinks bringing Jack Wilshere on was a defensive substitution is a spastic.
 
And one hopeful punt into the box resulting in a shit late goal shouldnt result in a massive dissection of tactics.
We dominated the game for all bar about 10 minutes and played really well.
Roys team was good and there was nothing wrong with the subs really.

rooney number 10 role for Jack Wilshire, who has played about 5 minutes of football all season.. It was the wrong choice imho...


He brought on two midfielders.. that I felt nullified our initial attacking threat...

If anything he should of brought on a striker on for Rooney or Sterling.. get that 2nd goal..

So you are changing it now to say its because he hasnt played much?
And Rooney wasnt playing number 10 Dele Alli was.

I dont get it.
Wilshere was a like for like replacement and continued to press and but for Kane being offside would have set up a great goal.
 
Dele Ali played more on the wing than in Number 10 I thought....

The point I am making.. he should of been more positive with his substitutions.. Strikers score you goals.. we had two on the bench that can score for fun, one of them which is capable of pulling out Rabbit from the Hat...

We played well, I just though he got the substitutes wrong..

On the wing? What the.....
 
I think Alli played as though he'd been told to control his aggression better, and, as everyone predicted, he lost something from his game as a result. It's going to take him a while to get that balance right - so far he can be cocky and very aggressive but also so ridiculously naive he's a red card waiting to happen in a big game, or, like yesterday, effective but not as dominant or imaginative as usual. I think he needs to go out with a completely clear mind and play his normal game, but have a senior player monitoring him and intervening when required.
 
Wales to beat England and Rooney to see a straight red against Slovakia while the game is on a knife edge, before Hamsik buries the winner.

Wales play out a draw with Russia to top the group and put England out of their misery.
 
Think we should've brought Vardy on when we went 1-0 up as Russia started leaving space in behind and we would've had a better opportunity to kill the game off.

At 1-0 you're always susceptible although in fairness last night it didn't feel like there was much threat.

England played surprisingly well all things considered.

this is it.. I felt the substitutes where negative I guess and lessoned our attacking threat..

Russia where there for the taking.. yet they had no one on the pitch clinical enough to convert our chances..

It just seemed bizarre whilst we where dominating the game, he didn't bring someone on to help convert those chances..
