themadsheep2001 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Shame Hodgson left us unable to play any other way, complete lack of wingers taken. Exactly. It's a top heavy squad best suited to the diamond, but we are playing 4-3-3 instead. Lallana has looked good (before being subbed) because he is capable of playing wide and at 10. He actually should England's 10 in a diamond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebs Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah...not Hodgson's fault this. We've had the right play and chances, maybe not many cutting edge ones, but we should have definitely created more with this team. Just one of those types of matches, seen them before and there'll be others like this yet. Not the worst I've seen from us by a long shot...knockouts could see us being completely different really, or just go out first round.

The shape with our personnel hasn't really fot the best from our front three, or the midfield. Vardy not existent, Sturridge pulling narrow and deep from a wide position he shouldn't really be in. Trying to create interplay in the pocket without a striker dropping deep, nor a 10 there. All sub optimal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2010 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Should have started with the best eleven. Whats a best eleven? Really isn't such a thing in the England squad, several of the players are at a similar level. I think a big positive in the group games is the way we've had the bulk of the ball and looked fairly solid at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggressive minor Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Poor team selection, who else rests players after 4 point from 2 games?
