Jamie Redknapp is backing Harry Kane to come good in France and keep England's Euro 2016 dreams alive.
The Tottenham striker failed to shine in the opening two group games, and was substituted at half-time in the second match against Wales.
Kane did not feature in the final Group B fixture against Slovakia on Monday night as Hodgson opted to pair Jamie Vardy with Daniel Sturridge, but Sky Sports pundit Redknapp insists all is not lost for last season's Golden Boot winner.
He told Sky Sports News HQ: "There have been a lot of positives for England, the way we have retained the ball in the games has been fantastic, something we have not associated with English teams over the last few years.
"But I think Roy has instilled that we are passing the ball well and keeping it. The one thing that has been missing is the cutting edge and when you look at the squad, that shouldn't really be the case.
"The problem is, who is going to be your central striker? I think Harry Kane has got a big part still to play in this competition. It hasn't really worked out for him so far but he has only played two games. Previously he has done really well. He's been fantastic this season and was the leading scorer in the league.
"You could maybe play Jamie Vardy in one of the wide areas and I have been really impressed with Adam Lallana, he's been great, kept the ball well and looks like a really good international player. He just needs to add some goals and some assists."
Hodgson received criticism for his decision to make wholesale changes for the Slovakia game, but Redknapp insists this England side is still a match for the continent's best.
He said: "It is very difficult for Roy Hodgson in this instance. If you are going to make those changes, you need it to work for you, unfortunately it didn't and it backfired a little bit.
"Whatever happens, if we are to win this competition, we are going to have to play the best teams anyway. Whether we play France in the quarter-finals, whoever, we just have to beat them at some stage.
"It's not ideal, but I agree with Roy Hodgson, we shouldn't be afraid of anyone, we've got good players in the squad."
