Hodgson shrugs

        

      In his pre-match press conference, Brnovic claimed England were "more scared" about the game in Podgorica than their hosts and also suggested that Hodgson's side were reliant on "long passes.If he's suggesting that we should accept the burden of being favourites for the game, then we'll accept it. We're confident and we think we've got good players, so we'll accept that responsibility.As far as I know, no-one from the English Football Association, not me, nor anyone from the team has suggested there will be problems.Hodgson refused to take the bait, however, and said he was happy for his side to be labelled favourites ahead of the clash between Group H's top two.If he's suggesting that we should accept the burden of being favourites for the game, then we'll accept it. We're confident and we think we've got good players, so we'll accept that responsibility.I think it's definitely mind games, but I don't really have an opinion on that," Hodgson told a press conference on Monday.
