Former England manager Terry Venables has offered Roy Hodgson stern advice ahead of this summer's Euro 2016 tournament in France, stating that there is scope to play Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney within the same starting XI.
Roy Hodgson has faced pressure from supporters to drop England captain Wayne Rooney after the 30-year old has suffered an indifferent for Manchester United, scoring just eight Premier League goals - the worst total of his career.
However, when picking his side Hodgson revealed that he "?would not bow down to public pressure, and that Rooney has played a pivotal part in England's qualification for the tournament.
Venables, who guided a promising England team to the Euro '96 semi-final, has another solution to Hodgson's selection dilemma - picking all three players to start.
"?"You can play Kane, Vardy and Rooney," said Venables, as quoted in the "?Daily Mail.
"It reminds me of the clamour for me not to pick Alan Shearer ahead of Euro 96.
"I always knew I was going to pick Alan, even if I kept him sweating a bit in the build-up.
"But it would have been madness to have left him out - just like it would be with Rooney.
"Kane plays at a strong canter, Vardy is flat out, and you've got Rooney who is crafty. Rooney has learnt to do the Teddy Sheringham thing and ask defenders questions.
"That interchange of positions has got to be delivered in football at this level now."
Venables is confident in the current England squad's ability, claiming that there is no reason why Hodgson's side can't win this summer's tournament.
"I think the squad is fantastic, look how many players at that level you've got," he continued.
"We're packed with goals with Vardy and Kane - those boys are just amazing - and then Marcus Rashford.
"Roy's got the cards. There's no doubt we've seen the players playing at a very high level in the Premier League and now internationals. These boys know what they are doing and they are loving it.
"What would be success? To win it. And they can win it."
