Do you ever get that feeling that no matter what you do, you’re going to be told you made the wrong decision?

Well that’s how Roy Hodgson must feel after England’s dire 0-0 draw with Slovakia on Monday night.

Fans and the media blasted the England manager for doing what they had asked him to do.

Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge started, which is what people wanted to see after the duo scored the goals to beat Wales.

Raheem Sterling was dropped and while many felt that Kyle Walker and Danny Rose shouldn’t have been dropped, many felt that it was the correct decision given how much running they had done in the previous two games.

However, the longer the game remained goalless, the more people started to question the changes, stating that no manager should make that many changes in between games.

That Hodgson was messing around with a winning team and that all momentum was lost.

Let’s be honest, Slovakia played for a goalless draw and England didn’t have the quality to break them down.

I wrote two years ago in one of the very first Simmonds Speaks that England should look at Greece when it comes to tournament expectations and two years later, that argument still makes sense.

Greece’s then manager at the time Fernando Santos said: “We have sardines and we are looking at them like they are lobsters.”

England may have a few very good players in their eyes but they have continued to show that they never reach their potential when it really matters.

Back then, I said that England were a “group of overpaid players that fail to deliver on their promise at every major tournament.”

I added: “Maybe it’s time we stopped looking at them as lions and look at them as cats, or in Santos’s terms ‘lobsters and sardines’.”

After three games in France, what fish-based food do England look like?

I’m going for a tin of sardines.

If there is a team that look like lobsters it is Wales, who look more likely to reach the semi finals than England and that is no disrespect to Wales.

Tashan Deniran-Alleyne messaged me on Monday night to ask how England were playing. When I asked why he didn’t know, he said he was watching Wales tear Russia apart.

Wales have treated this tournament as if every game is a must-win game, that they are not here to make up the numbers and have a clear plan.

England look the total opposite. They are treating the Euros like they are one of the elite teams yet they have no gameplan. It is baffling.

Chris Coleman has set up his side to get the best out of every player and to make sure Gareth Bale has what he needs to win the game.

They defend as a team, look to hit you on the counter through Bale or Aaron Ramsey and make the most out of their set-pieces.

It may seem simple, something you would see at Sunday league level where you pass the ball to the best player — like in Hey Arnold season one, episode 11 where Arnold makes the school basketball team but must pass the ball to Tucker — but it is super effective when you have a player of Bale’s calibre.

Actually, now that I think about it, England’s gameplan is pass the ball to Tucker. Tucker wasn’t actually that good, Arnold was the better player and until the coach realised that, the team lost.

Wayne Rooney is England’s Tucker. Hodgson feels the need to make everything go through him but it doesn’t work. Until England coaches see that, the team is destined to fail.

Given how both England and Wales have played so far, should we really be surprised that Wales topped the group? I don’t think so. They deserved it.

If England are going to dominate games, have 26 more shots than their opponent but still not find the back of the net, do they really deserve to even win the match?

Wales have started games on the front foot, scored early and forced teams to come at them.

Though they sat back for the second half against England, it took an Ashley Williams mistake and an injury-time winner to defeat them.

England struggled against a piss-poor Russia and never looked like scoring against Slovakia.

As a team, England are not that good on the big stage.

Not since beating Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 at the 2006 World Cup have England won a match by more than one goal at a major tournament.

Both Wales and Northern Ireland have done that at Euro 2016.

Prior to the victory over Wales, England hadn’t won in five matches at a major tournament.

Those stats tell you everything you need to know about England and how they handle pressure.

Now it seems ironic that finishing second may actually be a blessing in disguise for Hodgson’s Lions, with the possibility of an easier route to the final.

Before a ball had been kicked, England would have fancied their chances against Hungary, Iceland or Portugal — the three teams they could face in the next round.

However, both Hungary and Iceland are likely to employ a similar tactic to Slovakia and I wouldn’t bet on England breaking them down either.

As for Portugal, Chris Smalling’s 86th minute winner was the difference a few weeks ago and should the two meet again next Monday, I expect Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates to put on a much better showing than they did at Wembley.

You can see Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick, England limping out and Hodgson leaving the national side in no better shape than what he inherited.

Sure, there are a few promising youngsters who have forced their way into the set-up but that is always the case. If it isn’t Marcus Rashford then it is Theo Walcott or Raheem Sterling.

And who replaces Hodgson should he not keep his job?

No-one immediately springs to mind. Sit down and think about it for a few hours and your mind will still draw a blank.

Then open the parameters and include non-English coaches and you are left with the image of tumbleweeds floating across the desert — which is also what it has looked like over the past week and a half when England pass the ball between each other.

That is probably a bit harsh but watching the Three Lions in this tournament has bored me. I knew I should have watched Game of Thrones instead of England v Slovakia.

There were more edge of the seat moments in a pre-scripted TV show than during a live football match.

Don’t worry I won’t spoil what happens in the Battle of the Bastards.
