Demitri_C Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 What to say this was nothing short of absolute humiliation. This is like England going out to Cyprus, in fact Cyprus is a bigger country than Iceland. These players were a absolute disgrace today. No passion fight and didn't give a shit. I hope the press and fans turn on these tossers. This was a bigger humiliation then us getting relegated. Screw them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I like Hodgson he is a good man but he has failed England job. Too many players in that squad arent good enough and had poor seasons like Wilshire, Sterling, Lallana, Barkley. As for Joe Hart well I think Butland or Forster has start ahead of him. Not his 1st error in this tournament anyway think people arent giving Iceland enough credit tonight and hope they can overturn France now in next round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjenkins Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I know everyone is a tactical expert after the match, but to take Leicester's Premier League win as an example, solid defensive coaching and a clinical counter attack can make a limited team greater than the sum of their parts. As a Welshman I have seen it in action over the last couple of years and, although everyone points to Bale's quality, we're still a team with Wayne Hennessey in goal and Sam Vokes up front. Northern Ireland did the same and their 'Bale' and 'Ramsey' are Lafferty and Davis at the end of the day. A better coaching set-up will take England a long way, because the players are there. Your centre-backs aren't great, but are no worse surely than MacAuley, Jonny Evans, Ben Davies or James Chester? It seems to me from the outside looking in though that a culure change will be needed in England's style of play. Whoever the next manager is needs to pick a team and develop it, bringing 'flavour of the month' players in steadily. It seems like Roy Hodgson tried to do this, and then s**t the bed over the season Spurs and Leicester had changing everything at the last minute, as well as bringing Rashford which was daft if you're not going to play him and Wilshere who was garden-gate rusty. I've seen the England set-up go through numerous rinse and repeat actions at the top now without much difference being made on the pitch. Maybe it's time to drop the hype and start with the system rather than the big names. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Tonight reminded me a bit of second half of the home tie versus Bradford. I try to forget but the image of 5 Villa players up front doing nothing versus a fourth division side is forever burned into my retina. Villa or England were chasing the game and obviously on paper have much better players. But they both looked completely clueless of how to get back into the game and appeared to be paralysed by fear. 'A ball, what is this, where I am?' Tonight shows how insular England are and how much puffed up hype every 2 years results in nothing. The football is this country is completely dominated by the clubs with the national side an bi annual afterthought. The premier league was supposed to be have been created to assist the England team but the FA obviously have been incompetent in doing this. But this is not a new thing though is it- not taking part in the first world cup, the 1950 shambles, 1953 6-3 defeat to Hungry showing the huge gulf in coaching (largely due to Jimmy Hogan's work abroad), most of the 1970s, -basically apart from 1966 and 2 tournaments in the 90s in has been a catalogue of nonperformance. But like most of the others I don't care for England team anymore and tonight all I felt was laughter and well done to Iceland. I think Grealish has chosen the wrong country!

rodders0223 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Mclaren is from the new era of positivity for positivity sake. No, bunch of Iuseless words removed are a bunch of useless words removed. That goes for you Hoddle aswell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Sir Graham always had one in his desk at Villa due to his frustrations with Doug. But he had to read one out sadly when he got the England job.

Zatman Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I have to say that Hodgson copping all the flak but the players are getting off free from this. Except for Dier I cant think of one that could leave the tournament with head held high. Same thing happened with Sven and Capello among others, why wont English media have a go at players the true cause of this. Raheem Sterling 50 million, 200k a week and he cant control a football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 That's same old same old zatman pretty much every tournament in the last 20 years, the players have underperfromed and it's been swept under the carpet because the finger has been pointed at the manager well all sit there tomorrow and say why the **** were wilshere, sterling and Barkley etc in the squad after an awful season, come mid July someone in the media will link Barkley with a £50m move somewhere, come the World Cup they'll all be blowing smoke up their asses again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One positive from tonight is, he never gets to infect our eyes with soccer AIDS again, good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
