CHRIS WADDLE has blasted Roy Hodgson for failing to deploy Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford sooner during England's humiliating defeat to Iceland.
Having arrived at Euro 2016 among the favourites, England lost 2-1 to the smallest nation ever to grace a major tournament.
Hodgson promptly resigned with a brief statement and refused to answer questions about the result, tactics or his decisions.
Rashford, 18, was brought on in the 87th minute as England pushed for an equaliser and looked promising with a couple of marauding runs down the left wing.
Waddle, who has 62 caps for the Three Lions, thinks the teenager's cameo role was good enough to earn him the man of the match award but questioned why he wasn't introduced sooner.
"There was nobody on the left until Rashford came on."
Waddle continued to lambast Hodgson for the inclusion of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, who made just three Premier League appearances all season.
He added: "Jack Wilshere came on and gave the ball away, which was another risk they took.
