He said in the press conference "I do not think statistics tell the whole story of the game", I am sorry but they pretty much do.
Hopefully he proves me wrong, but I am not confident, Roy would not of been on the top of my list for manager though.
How can you make a judgment on that, when we have just landed back in the UK? we havent played any games post Euros yet.
Thats when you can start asking if we have learned from the Euros, when we have two years to experiment and change. Not two weeks.

he is right, they dont. statistics would tell you Modric is above average. He isnt, he is world class.
Dunno about that, a lot of people still think he has under performed considering the talent he has.
Wonder if the same people watch him vs Spain, outstanding player, wouldn't have looked out of place in a Spanish shirt. Do you not think he is world class?
I know this if off topic but this makes no sense to me. Surely that's still luck. Gomez is a pretty clinical finisher so him having a shocker the day he played you would definitely count as good fortune.Luck??? So the fact Gomez missed a sitter was luck, nothing to do with his poor shooting on the day nah?

Not trying to say it was all luck but players missing loads of chances they would normally score is surely lucky.

I do class him as world class even if I do think he should get more assists, but back to Roy, surely a manager uses match statistics to analyse games, you can't just disregard them.
No progress for England
Ray Wilkins says England haven't progressed since Euro 1996 and calls the 4-4-2 formation out of date.

Spot on, hope Roy realises this, 39% just above Greece average ball possession over the Euro's is woeful.
Low says opposite. So who is right?
Its all opinions. How about we wait and see, you havent said anything different.
Low is probably secretly laughing at us, I think Ray's interview here is pretty spot on though.
How can you assume that? Because it doesnt fit in with your view of Hodgson?
Disregarding the disaster of the 2010 World Cup, we have took a few steps back to make sure we are solid, I do not see any real improvement from this Euro's at all, Capello got it wrong at the World Cup, but apart from that how have we improved?
It's because some of the players haven't got the bollocks to stand up to the plate when given the chance too
Like who? Rooney can't be blamed, Roy decided to take him and he knew that Rooney would probably not be fully match fit, not to mention he hardly had any supply. Gerrard and Parker were overrun in midfield so they were absolutely shattered when it came to attacking finally.
