Captain says England were not good enough on the ballJess Carter: ‘We were a bit scared, not aggressive enough’Leah Williamson admitted England were not good enough on the ball and said “cheap, one-versus-one defending” cost the Lionesses badly in their 2-1 defeat against France, but vowed her side would improve before facing the Netherlands on Wednesday.
