Captain Leah Williamson described England’s errors in the France defeat as “some cheap sort of emotional defending”.

Kirby said she liked Williamson’s honesty and does not expect the review to be “fiery – but it has to be productive”.

“Those quotes came out after the game. It was emotional losing the first game of the tournament and the players are coming off and they are emotional. I like the honesty,” Kirby said.

“That is something that hasn’t happened in the women’s game for a long period so I don’t mind that.”

Keira Walsh’s consolation goal in the 87th minute was England’s first shot on target in a match that was comfortable for Les Bleues until the closing stages.

“There will be honest conversations in the meeting [on Sunday] to make sure it doesn’t happen in the next game,” added Kirby.

“That has to apply to everyone. Everyone could have done better. Everyone has to reflect on their performance as a collective because everyone has to improve.”
