Hodgson - I dont know why I'm here; smint?

[Liverpool]

annoying that owlface is in charge, bar Rooney the golden generation of mancs/chelsea gone. Some new youth coming through capable of playing exciting football

[Tee]

He is ****.

We know that through experience, but we are just coming across as a bunch of bitters with this blind bashing of him when he is clearly doing well right now.

[Vermilion]

Well if we got hammered last night I am sure a few of u would have used it as a barometer of how **** Hodgson is doing

TBF, I think we're past needing a barometer to judge Bodgers ****ness.

On the flip side how many times have people said 1.England have won their last 2,3,4 etc friendlies they go to this euros/world cup as faves and get knocked out Let's have this game in the Euros and it'll be a totally different game and result.

[Leyton388]

He is ****.

[Bender]

Friendlies should not ever ever be considered a indicator for anything

[Tee]

I look at the obvious things, defence still needs work but going forward the football is good on the eye and we look very dangerous. No doubts there has been a big improvement since the WC and I expect us to be the dark horses this summer.

[Cormack74]

Only a friendly but still a decent result and an enjoyable game to watch, enhanced as ever by the joy that Woy brings with his superb and ongoing imitation of someone who's been released from secure accommodation.

[ChesterDave]

I, like the press, don't count that one as it was referred to as a 'free hit'

Christ he has been in the job for 4 years.

What would be a success at the Euros then? Given it is practically impossible to not get out of the group they have to be looking at the Semis minimum?

It is so much more difficult to plot potential paths with the variety of third place finishes available but if I remember correctly we have a potential collission course with Spain in the quarters. If he gets past Spain he'll be bloody knighted

[Roboklopp]

Just watch the press label this the greatest Easter comeback since Jesus.

[Chazza]

Two isn't it? Wasn't he in charge for the last Euros where we lost to Italy on pens?

[Vermilion]

How long has he been there? (feels like decades!) and his best moment is a meaningless win in a friendly.

Roy Hodgson said England's comeback win against World Cup holders Germany was his "finest night as England manager".

If only they had a 'Friendly World Cup/Euro's' England would be fine.

[Reece]

Said it before but Hodgson is doing a good job with England. Can't be denied IMO

Oh yes it can

Given the piss easy qualification process he can only be judged in tournaments and the one he has been involved with so far should have seen him sacked.

Two isn't it? Wasn't he in charge for the last Euros where we lost to Italy on pens?

Yep, as soon as they get into a competitive situation they fall apart and Roy falls back into his negative tactics.

Yep.

It's all well and good looking good in qualifying but the two tournaments he's been in charge for have been pretty awful. Surely that's the measuring stick for international managers?

Sven used to qualify easily and would then actually make a half decent showing in the tournament yet he got ridiculed.
