English commentators just don't learn, arrogant tw*ts, this will be a stain on every England players record! England's worst defeat ever! What a joke and showing no respect for the opposition. Poor performance from them but well done Iceland.

England were too obsessed with attacking down the flanks. Two attacking fullbacks and a winger then he takes off Rooney and plays Rashford down the wing too. Easy for a packed iceland defence to head away all these wide crosses into the box. Shockingly poor tactics from Hodson. Kane taking set pieces what the feck was that about.

So many images from that game reminded me of Ally Mcleod in the Iran 78 game

 

Hope Archie was watching that. A lot of lessons in how to defend and how not to attack.

True, but I hope that WGS has noted that England struggled every time to break down a well organised defence. If we can play with our heads rather than our hearts,I think that we can take them. I know we will then lose home and away to Malta, but I do think that we can beat them.

 

It wasn't just an organised defence though. Iceland played at a high tempo when they had the ball.(as have Wales) England didn't seem to like the direct approach

Iceland also played with 2 up front for much of the match and pressed England really high. Hodgson just wasn't expecting them to do either of those things and was totally spooked by it. They had no answer at all.

 

Getting caught out with the long throw as well was so poor. Everyone had highlighted this threat pre-match - hard to believe England never worked on defending it.
