Graham Taylor puts pressure on Roy Hodgson

Former England boss Graham Taylor claims that low expectancy could help England at Euro 2012.

Former England boss Graham Taylor believes that current Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson will play a major role at Euro 2012 this summer.

Taylor, who bossed England between 1990 and 1993, claimed that Hodgson's "body language" will be very important this summer.

"In all respects there has to be that confidence about the manager, there are 23 [pairs of] eyes on you. Your body language is very important - it is not just what you say - you are almost talking to the players all the time without verbally saying anything," Taylor told the BBC.

"I have never known such low expectancy at a tournament - let's hope that can be turned into a plus."

England face France in their Euro 2012 opener on Monday.
