Head coach Thomas Tuchel felt the wrath of England's fans following the friendly defeat against Senegal at The City Ground
Thomas Tuchel's demand for England to play with a smile backfired badly as the head coach and his players felt the full fury of their own supporters after an embarrassing defeat to Senegal.
It is exactly one year to the start of the 2026 World Cup, and if this abysmal performance is a realistic indicator of England's hopes next summer, then the German will need to conjure up a miracle in the next 12 months.
No discernible plan. No identity. No improvement – arguably even a regression – since Sir Gareth Southgate stepped down after defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin.
England's Euro 2024 was a tournament of big moments, such as Jude Bellingham's overhead kick in the win against Slovakia, rather than big performances.
