I'm assuming he means that they lack experience at a top level. If you compare England to Spain I think that's a fair point as quite a few of the Spanish players had La Liga experience for some of the top clubs. Compared to Italy it's not a good point though as most of the Italian players played for Serie B clubs the last season (according to commentators). Compared to a side like Norway the point is laughable, most of the Norwegian players played at home in a league that is pretty awful, most of those players would be delighted to play in the Championship. We have one player who primarily sits on the bench for Celtic, then a couple in Austria, Holland etc.
I don't think attitude or effort was the real problem, more a lack of ability. The central midfield England sent out against Norway, in a match where they should expect to dominate possession was laughable. Not a playmaker in sight. England have some exciting wingers and attacking midfielders, but without a player to pass them the ball in good situations they will always struggle against well organized teams - we know this all too well as Spurs fans.
