Jack has come on but is sitting deep, passing sideways and not driving at their defence. Roy does tactics like Wenger.

The most embarrassing and shameful performance in history. A team based around Spurs players so not entirely shocked.

Why was Hodgson ever appointed? Why wasn't he sacked two years ago?

Every player was absolutely shite, lead by Kane, Alli, Rooney and Sturridge.

Woy will rightly go, but what can a manager do if his players can't pass a ball 5 yards.

Talking this desire to leave Europe to a whole new level :wink: :lol:

On a serious note, after 25 minutes we were forced to endure listening to jim beglin writing hodgson off and I don't think that is fair - no he is not blameless, but a team with the quality they have, should beat that Iceland team without a manager. the English players continue to let the manager, their fans and their country down, but yet they will escape relatively unscathed (with exception of shrek) whilst the manager will be absolutely lynched :(

What did he see so much in the first two games that impressed him? Woy has to go.

England are not blessed with options everywhere but Kane has been god awful this tournament and Rooney in the CM role is terrible for the side as it just means slow abject sideways football from him and the team.

All we heard for a week and a half was how phenomenal Kyle Walker is, but he is leaving the tournament with a negative net contribution of one goal.

Joe Hart has let England down and surely the next England manager has to seriously consider dropping him. It's just clanger after clanger.

The most Arsenal-like performance I've seen in a long time. Ran out of ideas, players stopped putting the effort in and the longer it went on the less likely England looked to score.

Well done Iceland - a tremendous performance from minnows.

It's the same problem that has infested English football for decades -

the vast majority of people involved in pro football in England are as thick as shit.

Rooney
Cahill
Sturridge
Wheelchair
Walker
Hart
Crouch
Terry
Lampard
Beckham
etc etc etc

Not a brain cell between them and their millions remove them from any criticism or self analysis.

Just to put it in perspective, Hodgson is paid £3.5m a year and the Iceland manager is a part time dentist.

Watching ITV now it's all Crouchy Wrighty and Dicko. What did those 3 multi millionaires achieve in an England shirt??

Not one of them has got the guts to identify the real problem in English football cos they're all too fucking thick and too fucking comfortable.

Well played Iceland they made England look second rate, only conciliation was that England's starting line up consisted of 5 spuds let's hope they continue their crap form in the new season. Both Ireland's and Wales can come out of the tournament with their heads held high but England's players should hold their heads in shame.
