"We did very, very well. We had an excellent first half, we were 3-0 up very quickly but could have been four or five up at half-time. Then we couldn't score the fourth one or the fifth one. The stadium was silent. Silent. We never got any energy back from the fans and I think the players delivered a lot to get more from the fans. So, it was difficult to keep everything going in the second half, but we did excellent, we deserved to win. Next step in the right direction."
"Yeah, what more can you give in 20 minutes? Three goals, the way we attacked Wales and didn't let them escape. Even in their own half, ball win after ball win after ball win. If you then hear for half an hour just Wales fans, yeah, it's a bit sad because I think the team deserved big support."
"Today we were 3-0 up after 20 minutes, we had ball in after ball in after ball in, and I felt like 'why is the roof still on the stadium?' That's just it. It's nothing big. It could have helped us also in the second half in some moments to regain energy and to regain rhythm. It was not like this today, so no problem. We will do everything again to be infectious. There is no problem. Like I said, I really mean it, I'm sure we will get everyone going, it's on us. But today I was a little underwhelmed."
England took a 3-0 lead inside 20 minutes through Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka, dominating the first half and creating further chances. The crowd at Wembley remained quiet during and after the early surge, providing little energy for the team in the second half. The manager described the stadium as silent and said the players had delivered a lot to deserve more backing. The manager expects stronger support for upcoming World Cup qualification in Latvia and believes fans will back the team fully next summer, while acknowledging the team must work to be infectious.
