THREE LIONS FAILED TO DO THE BASICS
-
ENGLAND boss Thomas Tuchel says he and his players have to do much better after an alarming display against unfancied Andorra highlighted the work required to become World Cup contenders next summer.
Boos greeted the half-time and final whistles in Barcelona after the 6,950 travelling fans witnessed a forgettable and frustrating display against the side sat 173rd in FIFA's world rankings.
Only three European nations are placed lower than Andorra, who dug deep and had a couple of half-chances on a night when Harry Kane's 50th-minute goal was the difference as England edged the Group K qualifier 1-0.
The Euro 2024 runners-up “got away with it” according to Kane and head coach Tuchel was surprised by the team's “lack of attitude” in the final stages of both halves.
“The last half-an-hour I don’t like it all because I think we lacked everything that is needed in a World Cup qualifier,” Tuchel said.
