00:00I think they deserve to win it, but we've got quite a long way to go at the moment when you look at the way we play.

00:05Senegal made eight changes from playing in Dublin the other night, so they didn't seem to have a problem with fluency, did they?

00:11They played with freedom, they played with enjoyment, they played a bit of quality.

00:16Obviously, they got gifted a couple of goals, but the last goal was excellent, counter-attack, so they'll be delighted.

00:21You can see the reaction from England, on one hand, yeah, you don't want to overreact, but the signs are great.

00:28It's been a bad couple of days for them, I know they won the other day, but they felt the rhythm wasn't there.

00:33Tonight, again, they had the dream starters, they go, want to look, they've made the changes, but they've made some good changes,

00:39they're bringing some good players into the group, so it won't be a good summer break for the manager.

00:44I think he'll be concerned, and I look at this England group, I know we're on the outside looking in.

00:49I think there's something amiss here, to me they don't look like...

00:53You can't put your finger on what it is at the moment?

00:55They don't look...

00:56Not enjoying it?

00:57Yeah, they don't look like a happy group, and obviously they'll be disappointed in the result, I don't mean that sense,

01:02but I'm thinking, are they really all in it together? Is there that proper spirit amongst the group? I'm not so sure.

01:08Well, it's called the impossible job, the England job, I think Thomas Tuchel is finding out why,

01:12because every single person in the nation is the England manager, as they say.

01:15I think that's a good way.

01:16I'll see you in there.

01:17I think that's what I'm talking about.

01:17I think that's one of the mobile people make, a little worse,

01:18but if you want to have a many people, I think it's getting out of the world,

01:20definitely going to be a little bit smaller, I think it's way to be involved.
