"Tuchel heard questions being asked about his methods after the dire World Cup qualifier win against Andorra on Saturday, one that ended with thousands of supporters at Villa Park voting with their feet long before the end. "I see what I see. I feel what I feel. I am convinced we will improve, then get better and better," said Tuchel before England's qualifier against Serbia. He echoed that message as he basked in the elation of this 5-0 triumph."
"Chelsea forward Cole Palmer was also missing, as was Phil Foden, hoping to rebuild his international career through his Manchester City performances. In their absence, Noni Madueke excelled with a goal and a fine individual display. He has now made five goal contributions in nine England appearances. Elliott Anderson built on the good impression he made on his debut against Andorra, while Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers was an increasing influence, looking at home at this elite level."
Thomas Tuchel arrived in Belgrade confident and his team delivered a 5-0 triumph that dominated Serbia and silenced the hostile crowd. The win keeps England five points from World Cup qualification with three games remaining. The performance followed a nervy victory over Andorra that had provoked questions about tactics and support. Several expected starters were absent, including Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, yet alternatives excelled. Noni Madueke scored and impressed, Elliott Anderson built on his debut showing, and Morgan Rogers grew into a significant influence, giving the manager more selection options.
