Gary Cahill has defended manager Roy Hodgson's team selection in England's goalless draw against Slovakia in their final Group B match at Euro 2016.
Hodgson made six changes to his starting line-up in St Etienne on Monday as England were unable to break down a resolute Slovakian defence.
Wales' 3-0 thumping of Russia means they top the group and England had to settle for second place.
"It's a disappointment, to be honest, because in the three games we had the majority of possession and we dominated play tonight," said Cahill. "We couldn't unlock the door."
When asked if the six changes affected England's tempo, the Chelsea defender said: "I don't think so. The rhythm was that we had the ball constantly and we didn't just quite have that cutting edge to open them up.
"In games like that, you need something a little bit special and someone to shoot from outside the box or create something which we nearly did.
"It wasn't to be. But we should have won the game."
England next face the second-place finisher in Group F, which could be Hungary, Iceland, Portugal or Austria, in the last 16 in Nice on Monday.
