Euro 2016: England 1-2 Iceland - 5 talking points

3) Marcus Rashford should’ve been brought in earlier

Rashford should have been brought on earlier

On an evening when service from midfield and flanks was poor, and the front-men were failing to create chances, England desperately needed an impact player. A goal down at half-time, the stage looked set for Marcus Rashford.

But Roy Hodgson chose to play underperforming Daniel Sturridge for most parts of the game, and only brought in Rashford for Wayne Rooney five minutes from time. The youngster immediately wreaked havoc on the flank with his blistering pace, earning a couple of corners for his side instantly.

The decision to bring on the Manchester United prodigy so late into the game made very little sense. The damage had been done and Rashford had very little time to have any kind of impact on the game.

The manager also made another questionable substitution, bringing in Jack Wilshere, who clearly lacked the fitness and experience in place of Eric Dier. This forced Rooney to move deeper, a position in which he thoroughly failed to perform.
