Euro 2024: England need to improve, says Trent Alexander-Arnold

Former England defender Rio Ferdinand, speaking on BBC One: “As a team England need to really look at how they want to see games out. There are different way to do it.

“You can sit back on the edge of your box in a low block, but that can get a bit like panic stations at times.

“The other way is to be dominant with the ball and taking the onus away from the opposition, play higher and being confident. It was a bit nervy towards the end, behind the sofa stuff.”

Former England midfielder Izzy Christiansen, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: “Harry Kane didn’t touch the ball a lot, he played a very unselfish role.

“The ball in from Jarrod Bowen was beautiful and Kane generated enough power, but it was a brilliant save.

“Harry Kane’s moment will come in this tournament.”

Ex-England defender Micah Richards, speaking on BBC One: “It makes me sad when I see a player of Phil Foden’s quality in and out of games.

“At Manchester City it is all coordinated with Pep Guardiola and the system that they play – we need to find ways to get him involved.

“When he is coming from a wide position it is difficult for him, he goes from pressing out wide to coming back inside and he needs a full back to go and overlap so he can get those combinations going.”
