THOMAS Tuchel has spoken to Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford about their ineffective displays in his first match as England boss but stressed the pair retain his full belief.

Sir Gareth Southgate’s successor began his reign with a 2-0 victory against Albania at a sold-out Wembley, where Myles Lewis-Skelly scored on his debut before captain Harry Kane extended his record haul to 70 goals.

It was a winning start to World Cup qualification but Tuchel still wanted more, including hoping Foden and Rashford would be more “impactful” on the flanks.

“I think they know (what more I want from them),” head coach Tuchel said ahead of tonight's qualifier against Latvia. “I've spoken to both of them, also in front of the group.

“They know that I appreciate the effort, I think especially off the ball.

“Marcus had a lot of runs when we had the ball where we did not see him, where we did not use him. He was a little bit unlucky maybe with the timing and from time to time we oversaw him.
