After failing at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, Hodgson decided to play most of the Liverpool players in the English national team, hence making decisions against several talented players.
After Frank Lampard’s goal was disallowed against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, it was obvious that the Three Lions had no way of making it back into the international tournament.
England lost that match 4-1 and they were knocked out of the prestigious international tournament.
Now, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello gone, Roy Hodgson has taken charge of affairs and in his recent game against Norway, Hodgson has shown that he will opt for his favourite and England’s traditional formation of 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1.
Since http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Norway-c2974 and even though he wasn’t
as good as Wayne Rooney, the former Aston Villa man still managed to find the back of the net.
While playing in a 4-4-1-1 formation, it was the Liverpool man, Andy Carroll, who played as a sole striker, despite having a pathetic season in Liverpool.
Hodgson decided to rest his first-choice goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-c31222 Green who stood guard between the two posts.
The four defenders selected by the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jagielka-c29902.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 and Scott Parker were the two players taking charge of the two-man midfield.
Ashley Young played right behind the striker Andy Carroll.
Even though this looks like a strong team, it can definitely get better. There are a number of players who can be tested by Hodgson in all the positions and rather than playing in a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-3-3 formation, Hodgson can definitely opt for a more direct
strategy; more like a 4-2-3-1, where he has a lot of players who can play in the positions offered.
There are a number of players, who have not been selected, or they are out injured; and Hodgson definitely has selection crises in the English national team, but the team is still strong.
Taking a look at the strongest team which the English team can produce at this very moment, not taking under consideration any injuries or any players who have not been called up, there is no doubt that the Three Lions can topple any team in the world.
The best possible formation for the English national team is a 4-2-3-1. If Joe Hart is to take the responsibility of being between the two posts, he should be aided by four defenders.
The two centre-backs for the English national team should be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling, they’re all players who can perform in the centre-back role, there is no doubt that Terry and
Cahill have formed an outstanding partnership in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and the same defensive partnership has helped them win a double; consisting to f a UEFA Champions League and an FA Cup trophy.
With Terry and Cahill being first-choice centre-backs, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809 should take the left-back position.
These four players can put a stop to any attacking side in the world of football. All these four players are defensively solid and will make it hard for any team to penetrate through them.
