Four minutes and nobody has said they won't be watching. Must be a record.

Amazing that people would post in this thread just to pontificate about how they don't like watching England. Weird as.

Rashford should be taken off. Refused to commit to any 50/50 so far.

When the opposition have 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes, it's always going to be pretty dull.

Not sure any other team would have done much else against this.

Well that is a pretty insipid first half. Goes to show, what ever the level. A well drilled side that on paper should not even be competing with the opposition can make the supposed cream of english football look devoid of ideas , quality and skill

so take some shots from outside the area, they are more than capable. It's Andorra.

He's probably wanting them to be awkward as it then becomes more a test. That means trying to pass through them.

He wont learn much if we bash them 7-0.

he'll also learn nothing when they play this safe and slow. Even if they take chances and lose the ball they wont get punished against Andorra.

He's in a lose-lose scenario with fans.

Win 7-0 and it's because the opposition were too weak.

I disagree, when you watch the likes of Spain and France (especially Spain) at the top end of the pitch is one touch - pretty sure Tuchel will want to see that as it's exactly what he said last time. He wanted them to play at Premier League pace - he said that too

Not sure he's seeing too much of that.

But you don't see many games in the Premier League where the opposite is playing ultra-defensive and would do anything to keep the score down.

I suggest you go watch some of the Tuchel interviews about what he wants

I'll add, looks like he's reminded them at half time

If only Brian Clough knew who the current England manager was the poor fellow would be spinning in his grave,next summers World Cup will be very disappointing for England fans.

Well with 82% possession we are averaging a shot on goal every 12 minutes, which if continues means their will be 3 more shots on goal before the 90 is up…

2-0. Another good delivery from James.

It’s all so static though. No movement off the ball, very easy to defend against.

It will most likely be disappointing for every country involved but the ones who win it

We are not special we are a country full of hope and expectations like all the others …

Especially the ones in the top rankings

Need to get rid of Tuchel ASAP. No chance next year with him at the helm. He makes Southgate ball look exciting by comparison.

After 25 minutes and subs. I wouldn't put it down to upping the pace. It's been just as stale as the first half.

However, I agree - I'd love to really go at teams and just attack attack attack - but we've not exactly looked like that.

I’ve got no issue with where he’s from.

I just don’t find him or his football particularly interesting.

The number of players who run around the ball to play it with their favoured foot is astounding, especially for internationals.

Got just as much chance as every other time …

Regardless of the manager

Only one team can win it and it’s usually the team with the best squad

We always have a good squad but never the best
