Gareth Southgate insists he is “oblivious” to external assessments of his England team after performances at Euro 2024 were heavily criticised by former players.

Both Gary Lineker and fellow ex-England captain Alan Shearer have been outspoken about the form of captain Harry Kane and the team’s overall display after they laboured to a 1-1 draw against Denmark in their second group game on Saturday.
