Roy Keane singled out one player that he thinks will be dropped by Thomas Tuchel following England's 2-0 win over Albania.
Harry Kane and Myles Lewis-Skelly both got on the scoresheet in Tuchel's first game in charge, however, Manchester City's Phil Foden and Aston Villa's Marcus Rashford failed to impress.
Tuchel had said that he wanted to see more from the pair last night.
Speaking after the game, the German said: “We hope for more impact in these positions.
“More dribbling and more aggressive runs towards the box. In general, that was missing. The chances come from the little runs behind the line.
“There was a bit missing, they were not as decisive as they can be.”
While covering the game on ITV, Keane echoed Tuchel's criticisms.
He said: “If you’re one of those attacking players and you’ve come off the pitch and dominated a game like that against a poor Albanian team and you’ve not scored a goal, not had a shot on target, you’ve not tested the goalkeeper, you’d be disappointed because you’re there to affect games.
“You’ve got a new manager and you want to make a good impression. Rashford and Foden certainly didn’t do that tonight.
“I think he [Foden] might be lacking in confidence and he’s definitely off it, his club form is not great.
“We know he’s got that quality, usually when Foden’s at his best you’re going, ‘something’s going to happen’, even when he cuts in he picks a pass out, gets a shot away.
"He done none of that tonight, every time he gets the ball now I don’t expect anything from Foden at the moment.”
Keane was then asked as to whether Foden would prefer playing through the middle or out on the right wing.
He replied: “You can’t go down that road, wherever he’s playing you affect the game and he didn’t do that tonight.
“Listen, Foden won’t have that problem coming up about where he wants to play because he won’t be playing, that’s a bigger problem for him.”
