After watching JRod isolated on the left side of the field last night I've got the words of Pochettino's left hand man ringing in my ears (sorry, his bane escapes me at the moment).... "Our forwards don't play IN positions, they play FROM positions"
Last night, it was clear to me that Hodgson had instructed JRod to play IN a specific position, which is not how he plays for his club.
It highlights the difference between how Adkins and Pochettino utilise(d) JRod. He struggled somewhat under Adkins but has flourished under Pochettino's more fluid approach.
