Hodgson has decided to take a deeper look into the issue after witnessing the country's latest shootout agony against Italy at Euro 2012.

"We are reviewing if there are more things we can do," said Hodgson. "I have not closed any doors. Every day you get ideas from psychologists, people who believe it is all in the mind.
