Agree except Hodgson changed formation to having no strikers on pitch

when you start with only one striker and then take him off for midfielder just didnt feel like a positive change.

Moving from 4-2-3-1 to 4-6-0 was confirmation of long shots and no one in box to score. Ref may as well have blown whistle in 80th minute.
