ROY HODGSON certainly has a job on his hands.
Last night the England manager was in attendance at the King Power Stadium to witness Jamie Vardy's latest party piece.
The Leicester hitman hit his 17th and 18th Premier League goals of the season as Claudio Ranieri's men beat Liverpool 2-0.
And it was the first strike that will have got Hodgson thinking, a stunning volley that looks like it will take some beating as the goal of the season.
Does Roy start Vardy in France when England's Euro 2016 campaign kicks off against Russia in Marseille on June 11?
Surely, Harry Kane must be up front too, after his double down the road at Norwich helped Tottenham win 3-0 and leapfrog Arsenal into third.

But Dele Alli also scored, continuing his impressive season with his seventh Premier League goal.
Hang on, Ross Barkley is in great form, Raheem Sterling is hitting top gear for Manchester City and Theo Walcott's pace can't be ignored.
Throw in Manchester United wildcard Jesse Lingard and Roy has a lot of attacking options on his plate.
Suddenly the 68-year-old feels a sharp pain in the back of his head. Wayne Rooney. He had forgotten Wayne Rooney.
The United captain is a shoe-in to start for Hodgson in France this summer but are England better off without him?
Here at News News Blog Sport we think so. Having got out the scrap paper and played the formation game we think an old-school 4-4-2 with Kane and Vardy up top, flanked by Sterling and Walcott is our best option for success in the Euros.

Anchoring our midfield is Tottenham's young stars Alli and Eric Dier, who provides the balance to our energetic side. Everton ace Barkley is unlucky to miss out, but he will be first up if injuries strike.
Joe Hart is the undisputed No 1 and we reckon our defence looks solid with Nathaniel Clyne, John Stones, Chris Smalling and Leighton Baines.
Luke Shaw would start at left-back, but he has a double leg break to recover from first.
The more we look at this side the more we reckon it has potential. And if Vardy can translate his club form for country we can win the thing.
Or are we getting carried away? Should Rooney be included? Who else? Let us know in the comments below...
