There's a real sense of calmness about the England camp and Gareth Southgate's leadership and management so far in the tournament. I don't think we've played the most exciting football but the 40,000 England fans in Wembley the other night would probably think the last 15 minutes was the most exciting of their England-supporting lives! I don't think there's anything to worry about. It would be foolish to underestimate Ukraine but Southgate has filled the squad and the nation with calmness. It's about being professional and doing the job.
