Awful (safe option) manager.

Poor manager who knows he has a poor squad of players and will carry the can for something out of his control.
The man has not taken us one step forward since he's been at the helm. Look at the farce from the last world cup: we were less than mediocre then and we haven't improved. Most of the Welsh team play in lower leagues, yet it went to the wire with them. Same with the Russians.
Hodgson was only appointed because the other option was that bent spiv Redknapp, and he would have been a fucking site worse. Woy was the lesser of two evils.
The FA needs an almighty kick up its arse before anything even remotely resembling progress can be achieved.
In Bale, they have a world class player, we don't have any.

For the life of me cannot understand why he didn't leave Barkley at home and take Carroll. He would have been causing havoc in that last half hour last night. Perfect for teams that park the bus.

Roy looks like the Little Owl chick off of Springwatch. I expect him to start feeding on voles anytime soon.

They also have a "dynamic centre midfielder in Ramsey
But the rest of the team apart from Williams, are lower league level
The problem with Hodgson is that he won't start his strongest team in its strongest formation (4-4-2) He has to find a way to squeeze Rooney in somehow.
Last night, even though he didn't start Rooney, he fielded a formation that doesn't suit England's strengths but would have accommodated shrek

His decision making is ludicrous.
He's taken two unfit midfielders to the Euros in Henderson and Wilshere and then bizarrely decides to throw them into the starting team together.
He's taken just three central defenders meaning that if one gets injured, we only have Eric Dier as back up.
That would be fine if he had taken Danny Drinkwater to cover Dier but he didn't. Instead he has virtually told Drinkwater that regardless of how he performs, he'll never be considered an England player unless he leaves Leicester and took a player in Wilshere who has now played more minutes for England over the last 12 months than he has for his club. Anyone who actually wants England to do well must have shuddered when Gary Cahill went down injured last night.
He's completely stitched up Raheem Sterling. Everything good that England did for an hour against Russia involved Sterling. Yes he had a quieter end to that game after the creative midfielder was brought off and was poor in the first half against Wales but by leaving him and Kane out of the next game but allowing Kane the chance to redeem himself, he's shown no faith or loyalty to Sterling.
As mentioned above, if you want to use Rooney as the creative force in midfield, don't drag him off when we are dominating the game and then blame the other players on the pitch when it goes wrong.
Changing 6 starters for a group game that we need to win. It smacks of arrogance and we've paid the price. We could now meet Portugal instead of Northern Ireland or Albania. It's not as if we haven't been down this road before.
He got all excited when announcing he was taking 5 strikers because they were the players who would win games for us. Well they haven't exactly so far have they? We've scored 3 goals in 3 games against poor opposition and one of them was from a defensive midfielder.
He has an abysmal record in tournaments winning 3 of 10 games and the sooner he is sacked, the sooner England will be allowed to make use of the young talent that we currently have.

If last night proved anything its that Henderson should believe in miracles because it is one that he is a professional fucking football player on £100k a week. What does he bring to a football match other than his body. Fuck my life he is useless and just because of that Hodgson should be sacked twice and then publicly flogged with Hendersons pubic hair
