England boss Roy Hodgson has called on his team to become "a bit more ruthless" ahead of Monday's last-16 clash with Iceland at Euro 2016.
England only managed three goals during their Group B campaign and will enter the match off the back of a 0-0 draw with Slovakia, where they struggled to break down a stern defence.
Hodgson is expecting Iceland to adopt a similar approach to Slovakia and wants to see his team demonstrate "more of a killer instinct" in order to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.
"I fear [the game with Iceland] won't differ enormously from our group games because Iceland are not an expansive team," he told FA TV. "Their success has been built on a very solid defensive organisation and incredibly hard work ethic.
"I know the coach very well, he prepares his team in that way so I don't think we'll benefit from lots of space in the game so we'll have to make certain we are aware of that and hope we can keep the kind of domination we've had in the games, keep the control but maybe be a bit more ruthless and have a bit more of a killer instinct in front of goal because our ratio of creating chances and taking chances is not good.
"That needs to be improved and everyone is aware of that. It would be nice if we could start with that on Monday."
England could meet hosts France in the quarter-finals if both teams advance from their last-16 ties.
