Arsenal boss Wenger: England suffered from captaincy change, rigid tactics

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says England were too rigid in their tactical approach to the World Cup.

Wenger also believes the chopping and changing of the captaincy hurt England.

He told Kenya's The Standard: "They had a good manager, but there was no teamwork. The team was not united, with the captaincy changing hands so many times before the World Cup. They also never had a plan B.

"It was clearly evident the same team that started went on to play all the matches, apart from just one change in attack. You need to have players for different situations and challenges."
