We need better players to get into the top 6 better still 4. Unfortunately these are not English players. Look at Man City for example. Good times ahead.
Hodgson does the same as every England manager I have watched since 1970. Play with the tried and trusted - only Bobby Robson tried something different in Italia'90 and that was forced upon him...
The star of that tournament for England was a certain Mr Wright (not Gazza if you were around to watch it) who played centre back for Southampton who after the tournament joined Liverpool - does the term 'deja vu' spring to mind... just a thought...
You're right. I honesty thought Hodgson would be different, but he isn't when the chips are down. Hence I said that England have reverted to type. And it doesn't matter one jot that they have equalised.
