England good first half, Montenegro good second half.
England lost the midfield in the second half, and Hodgeson seemed to have no answer to it. Parker or Lampard on may have helped steady things. The Montenegran goal was coming for 10 to 15 mins before they scored. Ashley Young sub marginally helped things.
Hodgson too late with his subs, tactically naive, poor pitch didn't help, can't play only one up front, assistant coach what does he do? Glad I don't have to suffer any of that week to week.

We were terrible defensively second half. Two centre halfs shit themselves when they got on top. Really frustrating when they were both so assured first half. People might not like JT but he would have loved that type of game.
Not the end of the world like most will make out. We beat them at home and it's all hunky dorey.
So many managers lack guts - Montenegro had to make changes and put an extra forward on - you can't stop them doing that but you have to say, well they will be more dangerous offensively but more open. Needed Cleverly off for an attacking player as a counter. But this is the problem with conservative managers - they have that goal and they don't want to open up even if it is the most effective way against your opponents. When he made the change- England started to look dangerous again and probably would have won the game with another 10 minutes.
Draw isn't such a bad result though in terms of qulaification - some decent teams in this league and we have the goal difference. Ukraine away key.
Cleverly was the ineffective player for me- needed to be subbed sooner. Not slagging him off, but he was just an extra pass - wasn't needed in that game.
Milner was alright and works his bollocks off. Can't rate Welbeck if I'm honest...always looks uncomfortable in possession and more at home on a playground.
A goal was coming but RH did nothing. Powell has been like that a few times this year too tbh. When a team starts making chances, you can smell a goal is coming and managers need to react to the smell rather than after it happens.

Put a bit of pressure on and they are clueless. Result to the long ball like their manager has said!
