Hiddink mocks England tactics
Russia coach Guus Hiddink has slammed the tactics of England rival Steve McClaren after last week's victory.
Hiddink told BBC Radio 5live: "When you put pressure on England they drop back like a handball team around their area.
"And I was very happy to see England's defence because they played with four central defenders in there."
He added: "I was very happy to see England line up with Lescott on their left side.
"We played with two attackers but also a very mobile midfielder and we forced England's left midfielder Joe Cole to be a left full-back.
"It meant we ended up with a two-on-one situation and were able to penetrate on our right side, their left.
"When we put pressure on them they were panicking and they could not get hold of the ball or gain any control."
