You can’t judge until we play a decent team. And to be fair, Serbia away is a good test on Tuesday.

No
No one wanted this , a bit like no one wanted to see us play it sideways , sideways , then back to Pickford to hoof it it in to touch whilst we scrape last minute equalisers
The job should of gone to Howe, Potter or even Carsley

But yeah, back on topic, These qualification games are a no win really and there's really not much that anybody will learn from a game with Andorra.

And the game couldn't even sell out Villa Park.

Agree. For me I really don’t understand why they don’t try and play one touch at pace, it would kill these sort of teams…I’d have thought the best opportunity to try that would be against such opponents and if it does go wrong, you’re not going to be punished like against a decent team.

The number of times Dan Burn lumbered out of defence, Eze looking for a quick ball, and he decides to pass to a full back instead…fcking moronic and quite a shameful gameplan

The qualification games mean nothing.
It’s all about the World Cup and that’s what Tuchel should be judged on.

Dan Burn playing in an England shirt, that's a big part of the problem. Hugely over-rated player. Just a big lump who wouldn't particularly stand out in the Championship.

And talking of over-rated Newcastle players who are nowhere near good enough to be in the England team, bloody Anthony Gordon with his fücking dreadul hair.

if England cannot break down Andoora, how do we do so to brazil, italy, germany etc TOP teams?????
awful, possession yes but stats don't in games. we got it wide but rarely into the box, did kane get a shot on goal? our record scorer?
i flicked over to womens rugby and our women are ruthless, v any opposition, no excuses about ranking they demolish them.
as for decent teams, again we are in a seemingly easy group, we qualify then get to finals and many times before, struggle as not tested.

Because the aim in these games is to win at the minimum of effort without getting injured.

These games are always a bit rubbish but it's been a tough watch under Tuchel so far.
For all the talk of attacking talent it's scary how few chances we create. I'm not sure why Rashford is playing ahead of Grealish at the moment but it is what it is.

Can only really judge him at a tournament though same as Southgate, hopefully it goes well next summer

Who wanted it?

I don’t recall anyone asking for a German to be put in charge and for him to dig up as many of his old Chelscum charges as possible?

I’m not sure I remember anyone wanting pedestrian football drumming a horseshoe pattern into the pitch around vastly inferior opposition penalty boxes.

Who was calling for wholesale changes to the squad and those involving bringing back Henderson from his Rayner exile?

Southgate did really well, he carried out the role his way and was an Englishman with integrity.
However, he lacked that certain something when it mattered, he needed that last push and just went all John Major rather than Lee Majors on the biggest of stages.

Tuchel was the wrong choice but in his defence I think we are years off having world class keepers, defenders or central midfielders (Bellingham aside). By then Kane will be gone and I can’t see the other attacking talent we have making up for that.

Shame

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

We were not that far away under Southgate, a penalty shoot out that could easily have gone the other way if Rashford scores against Spain they were the better side but a better header from Guehi or Rice in the last minute and we go to extra time. Very fine margins

I just hope we get that close again, we look like we've gone several steps backwards in the last year
