Roy Keane ripped into lacklustre England as they scraped past Andorra in their World Cup qualifier.
Harry Kane’s second half goal was enough to see the Three Lions pick up a 1-0 victory in the match played in Barcelona.
There were boos at half-time and full-time as Thomas Tuchel picked up his third straight win as England manager.
Speaking after the game, captain Kane admitted it was not their best performance but they would take the three points and ‘we move on’.
Keane was not impressed with what he saw from England and what Kane said after the match.
He raged: “I don’t like the message from your senior players is that the job was done, we’ll take it, whatever.
“You should be setting your standards higher than that. You should be saying they should have scored three or four more.
“We defend the players, say it’s the end of the season and talk about the hot conditions, and Kane looked shattered.
“I worry when I see players getting bored. I felt some of the players got bored in the last half an hour and I don’t like to see that.
“It’s when the goal went in, it was job done. It’s Andorra – go and get some more goals!”
It was an admittedly limp performance from England against the side ranked 173rd in the world.
Speaking to ITV Football, Kane said: “It’s one of those. I think for sure we can play better. It wasn’t our greatest performance. I don’t think many people will remember this one but we can learn from it.
“It’s very hot here, dry pitch, probably similar conditions to next year at the World Cup so we’ll go away and analyse. We had good spells in the game but we couldn’t consistently have attack after attack and we take the three points and move on.
“We were probably not good enough on the ball and not enough forward runs, forward passes.
“The most important thing is we kept giving it away and it gave them some confidence and energy.
“1-0 with five or 10 minutes, you have to be careful because it’s an important game to make sure we got the three points. It is what it it is. We move on.”
Kane demanded the Three Lions put in a better shift when they face Senegal at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground on Tuesday in a friendly.
He said: “We need to be better for sure. June is never an easy camp.
“There’s always people coming off the back of a lot of games, long seasons. I think we saw that out there today. But we just have to learn from it, we got what we needed, three points.
“We have a friendly on Tuesday where we can learn from again against an opposition we may come up against next year.
“We thank the fans. They were great and even though they were spread out in the stadium they made themselves heard, and we are disappointed we couldn’t score a few more for them but happy we got the win.”
