England have been heavily criticised in their first two games despite taking four points.
Gareth Southgate is confident England will deliver an improved performance against Slovenia as the Euro 2024 hopefuls look to top their group following days of scrutiny and criticism.
“We have had time on the training pitch and plenty of discussions with the players,” the England manager said on the eve of Tuesday’s group finale against Slovenia.“We’re very clear on where we need to be better. We haven’t hidden from that. I think we have a pretty open dialogue – the players, staff – and we’re all on the same page on that.
England will qualify for the round of 16 without kicking a ball if Albania fail to beat Spain, but they do not want to merely stumble through as one of the best third-placed sides. “The results have basically, pretty much put us in the next round already, and it’s now about can we win the group.“The lead into this wasn’t straightforward, into the prep games, into the first two games, so there are some mitigating factors.“But we’re not hiding from anything and we’re not making any excuses at all. That’s not the culture we have as a group.
