With all of this energy it almost skewed our risk management - we had too many central ball losses and that opened up to counter attacks against a dangerous team.“From there we got more control in the game and started to use our attacking talent, but of course talent isn't enough and we need synchronicity and rhythm and routines. From the 30th minute onwards it got better and better.“We will go for verticality and speed on the last line. We have to take care of the coverage and the counter attacks."In fullEngland v Panama LIVE: World Cup latest with Three Lions in danger of losing Group L top spotThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
