Gareth Southgate was targeted with missiles by irate England fans following their latest dismal Euro 20204 performance here in Cologne.
England topped the group with this goalless draw against Slovenia, but they were once more booed by their own supporters after the final whistle while head coach Southgate had three plastic pint cups thrown at him as he acknowledged the travelling fans.
Further doubts over the team's hopes of winning a tournament they were billed as favourites for have emerged while uncertainty over Southgate's position as head coach post-Euros will increase following the supporters' reaction after another abysmal display in Germany.
On the plastic cups being hurled in his direction, Southgate said: 'I understand it. I'm not going to back away from it.
'The most important thing is we stay with the team. I understand the narrative towards me. That's better for the team than it being towards them but it is creating an unusual environment to operate in.
