I'm talking about playing a style of football to suit the conditions that a player can fit into as and when the personnel changes.
Our sole tactic (which was to give it to Sterling and expect the lad to sh!t miracles) was found out after the first game. After that..... clueless.
No doubt Hodgson has been on telly spouting his usual post match drivel that begs the obvious "what game was he watching?" nonsense.
The only positive to come away with is the number of zeros he added to his bank account over the past month.
On the plus side we won't have to worry about arguing the rights and wrongs of playing in Qatar in 2022. This team won't qualify for it
