"He's just a very, very good football player, Tuchel said. He has the physicality, he's very mobile at No 6. He has the body, he loves to defend, he loves to put his body inside to duels. He loves passing, he loves to break the lines, he's very mobile in this game. It was a pleasure to see. I think the team around him made it as easy as possible for him and he had a very strong performance."
"I think he showed today that he adapts to the situation. Can he show what he showed in training? Can he show what he showed with Nottingham and the under-21s? He played with a lot of freedom. He was very quickly in the flow. I think he has the physicality and he has the mindset to play in more difficult games. And for this performance he is clearly in the mix to play in Serbia."
Elliot Anderson delivered a strong debut as England's No 6 in the 2-0 win over Andorra, impressing with positive passing, physicality and mobility. Thomas Tuchel praised Anderson's defensive commitment, dueling ability and line-breaking passing, and said the midfielder adapted quickly and had a very strong performance, putting him in contention to start against Serbia. England laboured at times but secured victory through an own goal from Christian Garcia and a Declan Rice header. England top Group K with four wins from four. Tuchel called international football a learning process and expressed confidence that the squad is on the right path.
