Alan Smith believes Roy Hodgson is unsure about his best starting line-up for England.

The former Arsenal striker suggests Hodgson is not quite sure of who exactly he should be starting at Euro2016 following their substandard 0-0 draw against Slovakia on Monday.

The Three Lions boss made six changes to the XI that defeated Wales last week and it backfired as they were held in Saint-Etienne to subsequently finish second in Group B and fall into the tough side of the Euros draw.

Regarding England's strike force, which had Tottenham's Harry Kane pinned as the great white hope up front, Smith suggests Hodgson is confused regarding his selections.

Asked if Hodgson knows his best XI, Smith told the Sky Sports Euro2016 podcast:"Probably not.

"The Harry Kane factor, I think would have, not confused him, but made him feel, 'Oh, Harry's not quite at it, he's looking a bit jaded, what do I do now?'

"Going into the tournament I think he would have known his best XI, certainly the shape of his attack.

"But now, form, as so often happens in tournament football, dictates a manager's thinking… and that's what has happened, so it's going to be very interesting to see what line up he does choose for that last 16 game."

England next play the runner-up of Group F, which includes Portugal, Hungary, Iceland and Austria, in the Round of 16 in Nice on June 27.
