He didn’t hold back.
Thomas Tuchel and England were brought swiftly back down to earth after suffering a 3-1 loss to Senegal, and days after a dodgy 1-0 win away to Andorra.
On punditry duty was Roy Keane, and he didn’t hold back in his assessment of veteran fullback Kyle Walker, currently on loan at AC Milan, for the first two goals.
Keane said: “If this is a young right-back starting out in the game, you’re thinking inexperience.
“People talk about a lack of concentration, I think Walker is being lazy. He’s a vastly experienced player, and he can’t be bothered getting back in.
“He’s on his heels. He’s had a difficult few months but for a vastly experienced player, you can’t be doing that.
“Both of the first two goals [England] conceded tonight, I don’t see them getting hold of each other. You don’t throw each other under the bus but you start shouting at each other, telling them to do their job.
“For the second goal, they are having a chat like they are in Starbucks. ‘Maybe I should have gone for that.’ Do your job! That is what good team-mates do. Do your job or we are in trouble.”
He added: “Senegal played with freedom, enjoyment and a bit of quality. They were gifted a couple of goals but the last one was excellent on the counter-attack.
“England, on the one hand, you don’t want to overreact but the signs aren’t great. It’s been a bad couple of days for them. They had the dream start, go 1-0 up, made some good changes but it won’t be a good summer break for the manager.
“He’ll be concerned. We’re on the outside looking in, but there’s something missing. They don’t look like a happy group.
“Not in the sense of being disappointed with the result, are they all in it together? Is there that proper spirit in the group? I’m not so sure.
“England were off it in every aspect of the game, physically, mentally, hunger – every aspect of the game.”
