England manager Thomas Tuchel has called Elliot Anderson “very, very good” in the 22-year-old senior international debut, but criticized Ebechi Eze, Marcus Rashford and Noni Madueke after the three lions worked up to a 2-0 World Cup victory over Andorra on Villa Park on Saturday.
In the face of the unpunted opponents and 170 places below them in the FIFA ranking, England was set in 25 minutes courtesy of Christian Garcia’s own goal of Madueke’s Cross and scored again at the head of Declan Rice with 23 minutes.
“(Anderson) was a little nervous at the beginning of training week and then did it well and we said” Let’s try, “Tuchel, who gave the Nottingham Forest Midfielder on Tuesday his first call against the Minnows and away in Serbia.
“This was the test and passed the test, so there is no reason why Serbia should not play. If we decide to have the position for him, he is ready.”
The dead point is broken! ✅

Tuchel sounded less impressed with the strikers Eze, Rashford and Madueke. “EBS may not have his best day at the number 10,” the German told ITV Football after supervising his fifth party in charge.
“He formed so well (however) fought a bit with decision -making. The last pass, Noni’s last decision was not clinical enough.
“Sometimes (Madueke) has a little concentration and fall asleep, but if we press it, if he pushes himself, he can be a very important player. Bukayo (Saka) is injured, so he takes a step and this is what he needs to do.
“Marcus Rashford had a good time, but they couldn’t end them with clinical assistance. These are things that can happen against (opponents playing) 5-4-1.”
The 52 -year -old young man was pleased with the performance elements of his team, adding that he has learned “a lot” about his workforce and scheduled that they will “show a point” in Belgrade, where they will protect a perfect defensive record against one side of five points behind with a game in his hand.
