Despite being demoted to the second tier of the Nations League, England's performance in their defeat by Italy was a step in the right direction, according to the country's coach.
After a loss in Milan, England are without a win in five games.
They haven't scored a goal from open play in almost 500 minutes.
It's difficult for me to be critical of the performance.
More shots were fired at the target. He said that they played well for large parts of the game.
Ultimately results are going to be the thing that everyone reacts to, but I think there were a lot of positives for us as a team tonight.
There were a lot of individual performances. The performance is in the right direction. The result isn't going to be a reaction.
England needed to avoid defeat against Italy at the San Siro in order to keep their League A status.
There were boos from the travelling supporters at the end of the match as their side finished bottom of Group A3 after losing three of their five matches so far.
England have gone three internationals without a goal for the first time since 2000 after Harry Kane's penalty against Germany.
England's final Nations League match against Germany will double as their final match before their World Cup opener against Iran in November.
It's hard to figure out why we are not scoring. I think we are headed in the right direction. We had moments where we would have the pass, but we didn't deliver.
He said that he understood the fans' reaction to the results of the competition. The reaction is understandable.
A lot of noise has been created from the summer. I'm completely aware of that. The players are aware that they could have won the game.
The tried and trusted players that helped England reach the Euro 2020 final and semi-finals of the World Cup were retained.
Even though he was on the bench for four games, Harry was in the starting lineup.
"We've given people an unbelievable five years or so, and we're a strong group mentally."
We have to come together in a time of need. We have a big tournament coming up and the fans have to stick with us.
"To win that tournament or progress in that tournament, we need the fans with us, so whatever has happened in recent months, we are working hard to improve that and get back on track, because it is a big winter and World Cup, and we need to make sure we're
"It's obviously disappointing," Rice said. We aim to win every tournament.
We have fallen below our standards in the Nations League, but I didn't think it was all bad. He said that they lacked that cutting edge.
It's going to happen. Tonight's performance was better than we saw in the summer.
We're creating the chances. We got into the opposition's box a lot. There are goals in training.
We are going to be great.
