Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku says too much is asked of England's players.
Belgium hitman Lukaku believes England's players always struggle as they can't cope with the pressure to perform.
"I think there is a lot of pressure on the England players," said Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at Everton.
"At the end of the season you saw in the newspapers the pressure about the World Cup.
"People were talking more about the World Cup than the end of the season in the Premier League, which was really intense.
"So I think there was maybe a lot of pressure on the players and you could see sometimes they were a bit scared as they didn't play with their normal habits."
