• Manager wants players to be more ruthless in front of goal
• 'It is hard to get chances at this level, you have to be effective'

Roy Hodgson has called for England to be more "clinical" with their attacking play when they face Sweden in Friday's Euro 2012 Group D match in Kiev.

England earned plenty of praise for the defensive qualities shown during Monday's opening 1-1 draw with France in Donetsk. But they failed to make the most of the few opportunities that came their way on the counterattack and had to rely on Joleon Lescott's header from a set-piece move to score their only goal.

Hodgson said: "I was happy with the start. We played quite well, certain aspects of our game were good. We must maintain that and, if we are going to win matches, we've got to continue to work hard on the attacking side of the game.

"We have to try to make certain when we do get these good counterattacking opportunities that we maximise them and take advantage to the full. When we win the ball back and break out, we've got to make certain the last pass, cross or actual finish is very clinical.

"It is hard to get good goal chances at this level. You are not going to get many during the course of a game and you have to be very effective when the chances come your way.

"I am not talking about the clear-cut one versus ones with the keeper but the situations where you've got behind the defence and it's a question of making sure the last pass gives someone the chance to score. That is something we've been working on consistently."

Hodgson is aware of the threat Sweden can pose from set pieces and the need to nullify that aspect of their game.

He said: "We all agree in today's football set pieces are very important and it is rare not to have respect or concern over the quality of the opponents set-plays.

"I'm also fortunate we have some good set-play specialists of our own and we scored against France not least thanks to Steven Gerrard's wonderful delivery from a free-kick.

"All you can do is prepare in the best possible way and make it clear to your team what threat the opponents pose. France posed a lot of threats from their set plays and Sweden will be the same." Read More
