Arsenal legend Tony Adams feels England must attack - with caution - World Cup opponents Uruguay tonight.
Adams says Roy Hodgson was too attacking in Saturday night's opener in Manaus and should have concentrated on a strong defensive performance to avoid defeat.
He told the Daily Mail: "The one massive negative from the night was that we were too positive.
"At times we did the English thing and went in with our hearts over our heads. We had a fixation with having a go and Hodgson had 65m England fans screaming for them to attack.
"I thought we were a bit naive, trying to win the World Cup in the first 20 minutes. I'm all in favour of being positive and going forward but only if we have a solid defensive unit.
"We should have worked more on the back four and Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson in front of them and prioritised trying to keep a clean sheet."
