Speaking to ITV, the former Ireland captain called out the lackluster mentality of the England squad.

The signs are not good. The tempo just wasn't there. It was a dream start, we go 1-0 up, some good substitutions were made. [But] it's not going to be a good summer break for the coach and I think he'll be worried. I think something is wrong. This doesn't look like a happy group. Are they really all united? Is there real team spirit? I'm not sure. They're all just waiting for something to happen. They're good players, but they look lost. The players are chatting as if they're at Starbucks: just do your job.

For the record, Senegal made history by becoming the first African team ever to beat England.
