The Premiership is of a higher standard than an Italy v England manager and he excels here.
You can't complain about pundits letting their hatred of Balotelli cloud their views, and then in the next breath do the same about Rooney. He didn't play well, but you can't on your own. Hodgson's set-up is good for the keeper and back 4, but not for forward play.
Stick in two straight lines and you can forget about a passing game, because passing requires players moving into space and that means leaving your line.
Rooney was garbage and you cannot blame the other players for that - not one negative comment about Rooney in the entire coverage whereas there must have been about 50 for the black Italian guy who utterly outplayed him
