'It did not match the occasion' – Tuchel laments England attitude
England beat Andorra to continue Thomas Tuchel's perfect start as Three Lions boss, but he was disappointed by the manner of the win.
Thomas Tuchel was disappointed by England's attitude in the last 20 minutes of their win over Andorra, claiming it "did not match the occasion".
Harry Kane scored his 450th senior career goal in all competitions for club and country, and his 50th-minute strike helped England to a 1-0 victory in Barcelona.
Despite an underwhelming display, it ensured the German became the first manager to win each of his first three competitive matches in charge of England without conceding.
Overall, Tuchel is the fifth Three Lions boss to win his first three matches at the helm, after Glenn Hoddle, Sven-Goran Eriksson (first five), Ron Greenwood (first six), and Fabio Capello (first eight).
England dominated throughout, having 20 shots (10 on target) as they accumulated 3.4 expected goals (xG), but Tuchel was less than impressed with what he saw.
"I am not happy with the performance. I think we started well in the first 20 or 25 minutes," he told ITV.
"We created a lot of chances and half-chances, and we lost completely the momentum and couldn't get it back in the first half. Got a little bit in the second half, but then ended up in a place that was not good enough in terms of urgency.
"We can just admit it that it's not what we expect from us. We need to look at it in detail and do better on Tuesday.
"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 will let them know tomorrow what we want from them."
Unlike Tuchel, Morgan Rogers found the positives from their performance, as England eventually managed to find a way through Andorra's deep-lying defence.
"These games are always difficult, the way teams set up to try to stop our threats," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"We got the job done. We won the game, which is the objective. We'd like more goals. But there are still positives to take. We know we need to improve and will hold ourselves accountable.
"The manager is trying to get his ideas across to the players. We're trying to learn and improve. We've had a tough week of training. We've got another game to try to show what we're about. [It's] just the start. We've got different ideas and a different identity for how we want to play."
England remain top of Group K after collecting nine points from nine in their first three games. They take on Senegal in an international friendly on Tuesday.
