Paul Lambert has assembled a young team which relies on him and fellow English youngster Ashley Westwood in the engine room. Options in the middle of the park are arguably where the Three Lions are strongest, however. What Villa pair Delph and Westwood will take heart from though is the recognition attained by the Southampton contingent. If Lallana et al can force their way into Hodgson's thinking then there's no reason why other cannot do the same.
