Tony Adams names one aspect Saka must improve for England

Tony Adams wrote in his column in The Sun that England’s attackers may need to change their approach going forward.

“He [Kane] doesn’t get in behind the defence and he doesn’t face you up. He’s a link player who is going deeper and deeper to get the ball,” Adams said.

“Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling on either side of him do face people up and take the ball to them, but they’re not getting in behind either and there are no crosses coming in for Kane where he can be dangerous.”

England scored three goals directly from crosses against Iran, but Saka didn’t provide assists for any of them.

England face Wales on Tuesday in their final group game. The Three Lions must avoid defeat to reach the knockout stage.
