Eric Dier says England would be "a bit stupid" not to learn from the mistakes made during a dismal Euro 2016 campaign.
England begin life under Sam Allardyce with a World Cup qualifier away to Slovakia on Sunday as they bid to put a dreadful summer behind them.
Having qualified for the European Championship with a 100 per cent record, England crashed out at the last-16 stage in France, stunned 2-1 by minnows Iceland.
"You don't want to wipe away the history but it is a fresh start for everyone," the Tottenham midfielder said.
"There is a new manager and he is going to have different opinions and different views. Everyone is going to have to prove themselves again and I'm no exception.
"It was a very bad day for everybody involved, for the whole country and every football fan in England.
"It is one we want to put behind us. It will be good to play another game and put that one behind us. Those things happen in football and they are gone now. We just have to look forward.
"When you make mistakes and things don't go well, the best you can do is learn from them. You have to learn from the negatives and that was a big negative. If you don't learn from them, then you are a bit stupid."
