Gareth Southgate was confident his team would deliver an improved performance on Tuesday night (25 June) as the tournament hopefuls looked to top their group following days of scrutiny and criticism.
However, the clash ended in a goalless draw.
An unconvincing 1-0 victory against Serbia in their opener was compounded by arguably their worst major tournament display under the former defender.
England were fortunate to escape with a 1-1 draw against Denmark last Thursday, leading to widespread examination and analysis of a team that has hit back at ex-players in recent days.
Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer have been among the most vocal critics and Southgate, who claims to be “oblivious” about such comments, says it is time the Euro 2020 runners-up do their talking on the field.
“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.
“Obviously whatever I say is fairly irrelevant. We have to go and produce it on the pitch.”
