Read our privacy policy Jack Butland's belief that England should keep playing out from the back remains unwavering, despite enduring some hairy moments in the unconvincing win against Switzerland. "Yes, we still need to make the right decisions - there are times when you can overplay and times when the ball needs to go longer and a bit safer - but it's about making those decisions and I thought we did that as a whole pretty well." Butland spoke with confidence at the King Power Stadium, where England eventually "got to grips" with things on a night when the goalkeeper did well not to be thrown off kilter. "You can argue that the standard is different, but it's still a very demanding league and I still have to be at the top of my game," Butland said.
