Roy Hodgson has taken both barrels from Shearer who is evidently still seething in his column with the Sun.
"Roy Hodgson says this was a ‘young, hungry and extremely talented group of players’. No it wasn’t, it was one that caved in under pressure. "Hodgson was a manager who caved in too. "He had two years to plan after the awful display at the last World Cup but changed nothing. "He didn’t know his best team, best tactics. He came to France and just made it up as he went along. This campaign has been an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. "We were given a great group and couldn’t top it. "We were gifted a way through to the quarter- finals but couldn’t accept it, because we could not match Iceland’s thinking, work-rate and ability."[caption id="attachment_70131" align="alignnone" width="4294"]

He didn't stop there either. He rightly questioned Hodgson for failing to get anywhere near the best out of a squad the veteran manager himself called 'young, hungry and extremely talented'.
Tiredness was put down as a reason Harry Kane failed. There are plenty of Prem stars out here with other nations who don’t look tired. He was a shadow of the player who did so well with Spurs. But is that down to one manager who can get the best out of him and another who can’t? What was he doing hitting corners in one game and free-kicks in the next?We don't think Shearer is going to calm down for a very, very long time about this.
