Neville: England coach Hodgson introduced attacking tactics

Manchester United legend Gary Neville says England coach Roy Hodgson has introduced more 'adventurous' tactics.

Neville reckons England have been transformed by Hodgson as the Three Lions embark on their new killer strategy.

"Roy has transitioned the side into a more adventurous outfit. It's virtually a brand new team," Neville wrote in the Telegraph. "As we gathered to discuss the options for the Switzerland game he was categorical about using the diamond, which is one of the most complex formations to get right. He was adamant that he wanted Wilshere to play in that role.

"He was enthusing about his talent and arguing that he wanted to see him pass creatively from a deep position. It might fail. We might be out on our ears in two years. But to claim there's no progress is just plain wrong."
