Tuchel: England ‘will prove a point against Serbia’ after scoring struggles against Andorra | OneFootball

England head coach Thomas Tuchel said his side should have scored more goals after labouring to a 2-0 victory over Andorra.

The Three Lions went one better against their opposition minnows compared to the reverse fixture in June, where they could only manage a singular goal against the 174th ranking country in the world, but struggled nonetheless to breakdown their opponents.

A first half own goal from Christian Garcia Gonzalez was followed up by a Declan Rice header in the second half as England made it four wins from four in World Cup qualifying, but they have been far from convincing in any of Tuchel’s four competitive games in charge.

Despite cruising to victory, the German was far from satisfied with his side’s performance and believed they should have been more clinical sooner.

“It’s difficult because it’s a very different crowd to a Premier League crowd,” Tuchel said. “I think the energy was right, the quality was there and we should’ve scored more.

“After the first goal we had 10 or 15 minutes with too many ball losses and lost our focus and concentration but the second half, we found it again and should have scored more.

“I think we missed the little moments to accelerate the game. Maybe Ebz [Eberechi Eze] didn’t have his best day in the number 10, the last pass from Noni Madueke wasn’t clinical enough and Marcus Rashford had good moments but couldn’t finish them.

“It’s stuff that can happen against a narrow team. The second goal should have come earlier because it gave us a lot of freedom. In general with the effort and attitude I am totally satisfied and it was a much better performance than in June. It would have be deserved to win 4-0 or 5-0.

“We’ve learned a lot and I’m glad for the players. Now we will prove a point in Belgrade against Serbia.”

England face Serbia on Tuesday in Belgrade, looking to make it five wins from five in Group K.
