Former England winger John Barnes has claimed that new Three Lions manager Sam Allardyce will bring pragmatism and humility to the national side.
The former Sunderland, West Ham United, Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers boss, who was appointed last week, can boast a record of never having been relegated from the Premier League.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Barnes told reporters: "What Sam will demand is the spirit, the determination, the desire, and the never say die attitude which has been lacking in England in the past.
"When you know you're not the best, you have to work hard, have some humility and respect the opposition.
"Don't think 'oh we are in the Premier League, we can turn up and beat Iceland'. That's what Sam has to change, this attitude that we are England and should be winning things... we shouldn't."
Allardyce takes the England reins following Roy Hodgson's resignation after the Three Lions were knocked out by Iceland in the Euro 2016 last 16.
