James Milner feels England have shown a ruthless streak in qualifying for Euro 2016 with a 100 per cent record.
Roy Hodgson's men won all their ten qualifying games, scoring 31 goals and conceding just three, to book their spot in France in style. Expectations have been tempered however due to the fact that the other teams in England's group were Switzerland, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania and San Marino.
Milner is out of England's friendlies against Spain and France over the current international break, but is happy to have played a part in the country's qualification campaign.
And he feels the Three Lions demonstrated a genuinely ruthless streak in qualifying with a 100 per cent record.
"We’ve had a good qualifying campaign. People said it was an easy group and perhaps on paper it was, but it’s never like that in football and we know that", he told Liverpool's site.

"To get the results we did, and be as ruthless as we were, was pleasing.
"Now we have a different test and hopefully we can take the momentum we’ve had into the qualifiers into those games [against Spain and France]."
Milner missed Liverpool's defeat at home to Crystal Palace last weekend with a hamstring injury, something which has also kept him from being involved with England against the Spanish and the French.
