Gareth Southgate 'didn't particularly like' England performance against Panama
England manager Gareth Southgate said he "didn't particularly like" his side's performance despite beating Panama 6-1 to secure qualification to the knockout stages of the World Cup.
Harry Kane hit a hat-trick while John Stones (two) and Jesse Lingard also scored as Southgate's side recorded their biggest win at a finals.
However, Southgate believes his side can play even better.
"I didn't like the start and I didn't like their goal at the end," he said.
"I guess the bits in the middle were pretty good, but I am being hyper-critical," Southgate added with a smile.
"It's strange because I enjoyed the win against Tunisia more - because of the tension and the fact you get over the line," said Southgate.
"We probably at times played better the other day but today we were better in front of goal. I know how many people were watching at home on a Sunday afternoon and it's great to give them something to cheer about."
England play Belgium on Thursday to determine who will finish top of the standings and, despite not being pleased with some aspects of his side's play against Panama, Southgate is happy his team appear to be growing into the tournament.
"Confidence-wise it was important we were able to score goals," he said.
"We want to keep momentum, so we'll have to think about the team we want to put out against Belgium.
"There's an opportunity as well for players who need a match, but also we want to keep winning football matches. It's a nice decision to make."
