Neville: 'Mainoo will start the next game'
Mainoo will start in the next game. [Southgate] thought Gallagher may be the option, obviously, for the energy we talked about before the game, but I think it was quite obvious that we needed someone in there who would get us playing.
And Mainoo does that. I think Wharton's capable of that as well. The more substitutes were made, the more we looked, well, less rigid we looked we looked so basic. In the first half, it was a struggle to watch. In the second half, we didn't get the result, but there were sort of glimpses of what we can be.'

Mainoo: 'We are ready when we're called upon'
Me and Cole are ready when we're called upon like the rest of the lads are. We train hard and when we get our chance we try to impress so we can start and help the team as much as possible. I love football and I love playing so anyone's who's on the pitch wants to play.'
Everyone knows he's electric. We've seen what he can do in the Premier League and I'm sure we'll see it moving forward as well. He's one of the best in training, never let's off the gas and trying to score goals like the rest of the guys are.'

Kane: 'We played a lot better'
That was the aim before the start of the tournament to come top of the group and control our own destiny. Tonight was a tough game, we played a lot better than the other two games. We played with a lot of energy - better on the ball but we just couldn't find that final ball or finish.
We recover well, we enjoy that we've finished top of the group and then we look forward to the next one.

The heat is on!
It’s impossible to overstate how warm it is here in Cologne. It may be closing in on 9pm but it’s hot and it’s humid. Slovenia fans matching England for noise so far..
This is a very traditional European football stadium and it’s doing wonders for the atmosphere. If England can't be lifted by this then they may as well pack it in and go home

'My prediction is 2-1 England'
Gareth Southgate has shown the courage of his convictions with this England selection and it’s hard to criticise that. However this eleven must turn up for him tonight.
It’s okay to grow in to a tournament slowly but it feels as though this is the night for the gear change to arrive. My prediction is 2-1 England.

Trippier: 'We know we need to improve'
You know, there's so much that we can improve on. We've discussed that in length as a group, and you know, we've got an opportunity now to finish top of the group and put in a real performance.
Of course, we know we need to improve individually and as a group. So tonight we're talked in length that we need to put on a performance. We want to top the group. That's the most important thing, and hopefully that's tonight.
