Andros Townsend – 5/10
Played a key role in England’s qualification for the World Cup, but missed the tournament through injury. Has struggled to get a game at Spurs this season. He needs to work harder.
Danny Welbeck – 7/10
Welbeck has always worked hard, but now the goals are flowing too. He has been England’s main man since the World Cup.
Wayne Rooney – 8/10
Continually criticised despite closing in on becoming England’s all-time record goalscorer. He featured in all 13 of England’s games this year, finding the net eight times.
Daniel Sturridge – 7/10
Three goals in six international games. Injury has intervened, but he’ll be back.
Rickie Lambert – 5/10
The former non-League striker got to live the dream by playing for England – at the time, on merit. However, the fairytale is close to the end. He won’t be going to Euro 2016, so Hodgson should look elsewhere in 2015.
