This is a nonsense comment. French international, youngest ever captain of PSG, yeh crap player

This is it.

They go on about how Hodgson takes every training session.

Worked out well for England that one.

Playing to a system is fine but it’s restrictive. I remember reading a quote about Jeff Schlupp and that they liked him because he did his job in the system above all else. Same with Ayew - the focus on what he brings defensively:

The issue seems to come on our attacking side: We don’t score from set pieces, there is no pace to the attack and we seem totally unwilling to play anything other than the same way against every opposition. Hodgson is stubborn, that’s a plus and a minus.

Hodgson can blame lack of players but every club he’s ever been at plays the same way and signs similar players. Our squad is stronger than a good half dozen, the issue seems to be we are happy to stifle a player’s qualities for the sake of the system. He could have Messi, Ronaldo and Benzema up front and we would still
focus on keeping it tight and they would be instructed to defend from the front.

Arsenals academy players are better, they play at a better standard in Category 1, whilst we play the dredges in 2. This is down to Jordan dismantling the academy.
A number of ours have been loaned out and not set the world alight and just faded away. If there not good enough in League 2, why would Roy put them in the first team.

It was telling that when Leicester lost Chilwell they moved to a back three despite having a very good replacement left back in Christian Fuchs on the bench.
This tactical change assisted in Leicester gaining control in the second half and Allbrighton was influential in a left wing back role.
Could anybody in their wildest dreams see Hodgson attempting such a manoeuvre?
Instead we get like for like substitutions, although it could be argued that they made us even more defensive.
Hodgson never changes our team shape to pose a different set of problems to the opposition.

Off the top of my head I remember his fourth game against Chelsea when he played Zaha and Townsend up front after Benteke had injured his knee and we beat them 2-1 which was a massive game. A few games later he was getting slagged for only playing 442.

A late Sako sub against Watford that resulted in two injury time goals.

We've lost the speed of Wan Bissaka which is huge in terms of the way the team sets up and stops us from playing further up the pitch.

If the biggest criticism of Roy revolves around the use (or lack of) of Meyer, Riedewald and Pierrick then I think his critics are undermining their own argument.
