Roy Hodgson Is Destroyed on Twitter for Leaving Nathaniel Clyne on the Bench

Sean SwabyJun 14, 2015

Roy Hodgson raised more than a few eyebrows with one particular half-time move. 

First, before the match, he fell under a bit of criticism for opting to start centre-back Phil Jones at right-back over in-form Southampton right-back Nathaniel Clyne.

Then at half-time, when he again opted to leave Clyne on the bench when Jones was substituted off, Hodgson's move was not well received. 

Especially when it was midfielder Jordan Henderson moved to right-back as Adam Lallana moved into the midfield.

Henderson slipping in at right-back ahead of Clyne, the player Liverpool want to play right-back at Anfield next season. Odd. Very odd.
