England Under 21 captain Eddie Nketiah claimed this camp showed they cannot simply expect to roll opponents over with the European Championships on the horizon.
Nketiah was among those who led constructive criticism of recent performances following Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Turkey and last week’s disappointing 3-3 draw in Andorra.
The Arsenal striker is hoping the Young Lions can eradicate their sloppiness in possession during next month’s fixtures – their last meet-up before March’s group stages.
Eddie Nketiah has been vocal in his constructive criticism of the England Under 21s
‘We’re preparing for tournament football and sometimes you have to win gritty,’ Nketiah said.
