'We don’t need fans to boo us to know we have not played well.'
Gareth Southgate’s side swept Iran aside on the opening gameweek and the 6-2 result perhaps raised the expectations of fans across the country.
“It’s not a nice feeling. But to be honest we don’t need fans to boo us to know we have not played well. It was a feeling that was mutual among the group – that we could have done better. “When you win a game, you are the best team in the world. When you lose, you are the worst. That’s football. As players you have to keep a balance.”
“We didn’t quite have that same zip but this is going to happen with tournament football. We’re not going to roll through a tournament and sweep through everybody without having nights like that where you’ve got to show different qualities to get the result.
