I think Hodgson was stupid for making all those pointless changes, and its never easy playing against 11 men behind the ball. But what does this say about us eh, when we failed to beat two abysmal teams like Slovakia & Russia.
Slovakia had a game plan and it worked, i think if England had scored though they would have had to change their tactics. The group stages will always have games like last night's one. One team having lots of the ball, but failing to break down the opposition.

I'm always of the opinion that you stick to your best eleven, unless injuries and loss of form forces your hand. England no killer instinct in the Russian and Slovakian games, it says it all really.
