Tottenham legend Hoddle urges England to play for draw

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle believes England should play for the draw at World Cup qualifying opponents Ukraine.

Hoddle wrote in the Mail on Sunday: "Sometimes a point in football is a good result. And sometimes it can be a massive result. England's trip to Kiev on Tuesday would fall into that latter category.

"That's how difficult I view Roy Hodgson's trip to Ukraine this week. It was already a tough fixture, even before he lost the likes of Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Glen Johnson, Phil Jones and, yesterday, Daniel Sturridge.

"To lose would be disastrous and leave us in a terribly precarious position."
