Thomas Tuchel expressed disappointment with England's performance in their World Cup qualifying match against Andorra, criticising the team's attitude and urgency. Despite dominating possession at 83%, England struggled to break down Andorra's defence, scoring only once through Harry Kane's goal. The German manager noted the lack of momentum after a promising start and emphasized the need for improvement in future matches, declaring that such a performance does not meet their expectations in a World Cup qualifier. England's next challenge will be against Senegal in a friendly match.
I was most worried in the last 20 minutes because I did not like the attitude that we ended the game with. I didn't like the lack of urgency and it did not match the occasion - it is still a World Cup qualifier.
We dominated the ball with 83 per cent possession, but frustratingly we could not break down Andorra's well-organised defence and were mainly restricted to efforts from distance.
I think we started well in the first 20 or 25 minutes; we created a lot of chances and half chances, but we lost completely the momentum.
It was not good enough in terms of urgency. We need to look at it in detail and do better on Tuesday.
