If all hope for the future of this England team revolves around Raheem Sterling, perhaps it’s best if the whole team revolves around him, too. Roy Hodgson is a careful man and can be expected to resist the urge to pile greater responsibility on to a 19-year-old with eight caps. He is also an experienced coach with an expert eye which must be telling him that Sterling is developing at an accelerated rate into an exceptional attacking force. Hodgson will cogitate, for sure, but for anyone watching England toil to a 1-0 win against Norway at Wembley on Wednesday it was clear the Liverpool starlet is the team’s most exciting and threatening player.

At just 19 Raheem Sterling is an integral player for Liverpool and England
@highlight
Sterling has made 79 appearances for Liverpool scoring 14 goals
@highlight
The forward has eight caps for England and  is most effective in the centre

Playing Sterling in the centre could shackle Wayne Rooney's role in the side
It will be a system unfamiliar to anyone not from @placeholder but they are intelligent enough to learn if Hodgson puts the right players in the right areas, and he insists finding round pegs for round holes is one of his strengths.
