WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite a dream start to his journey with England, Tuchel pointed out some key areas where his team still need to improve. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/southgate-england-players-honest-assessment-routine-win-against-albania-thomas-tuchel/bltff7d74471218d4cb#csf417e16915c7cc72" target="_blank">The German coach did face some criticism from fans on social media</a>, who claimed that the Three Lions played more entertaining football under former manager Gareth Southgate.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters after the game, the German said: "We wanted to increase the rhythm and the risk a little bit in the second half. [We] had even one player more in the offensive line, but I felt us not disciplined enough in the structure anymore and we tried a little bit too much alone and we tried a little bit too much out of position and slowed our game down. We were not so well organised to control the counterattacks. Later with the second goal, the game was over and we could see it out."</p>
