#engsen — Public Fediverse posts

Tuchel explained why he started Walker despite his lack of minutes towards end of season. “He pushes the standard and the level. He deserved to play.” Tuchel added, tellingly, of Walker's game, “I see the lack of rhythm in misjudgements, duels and anticipation.” #ENGSEN #ENG

Tuchel said it’s not a time to panic. “It is tough at the moment. I'm the first one to hate losses like nothing else. But I have strong belief in what we can do. We don’t go next week to the World Cup. We go next year.” Promised more cohesion in the autumn camps. #ENGSEN #ENG

Thomas Tuchel said he heard the Senegalese players in their dressing-room before the game (noisy) and after the game (even noisier). “We knew how much this game meant to them.” Did it mean as much to England? #ENGSEN #ENG

Tuchel: “We had big problems in the one-on-one duels, the physicality and athleticism in the duels. We were second best for long periods in the 1st half. We said at half-time we needed to step up in the one-on-one duels, with more physicality. We were better 2nd half.” #ENGSEN

Tuchel honeymoon over. England booed at final whistle. Tuchel booed as he walked down tunnel. Time for doubting Thomas. He wanted England to play with a smile. But England’s season ended with a scowl, game ended with boos, game ended with England’s best passer, Alexander-Arnold still on the bench. What a waste. And England’s best player, Jude Bellingham, not arriving until 71 mins. England deservedly defeated and outclassed by opponents struggling to qualify for World Cup from CAF Group B. Tuchel has to take responsibility. His 4-2-4/4-2-2-2 system didn’t work, his subs didn’t work (although Gibbs-White grew in influence). So strange to see England without a centre-forward when Kane went off. Rogers is not a No 9. Toney arrived too late (88). Five other issues raised by the game….

1.Positives. There were some. Better pressing. Kane’s goal (7) stemmed from Gallagher and Eze ambush. More attacking intentions than against Andorra. Gordon decent, but missed chance. System didn’t really help Saka. Eze lively. Dean Henderson beaten through his legs for Senegal second. Otherwise did well. Pickford, rightly, remains No 1 but Henderson confirms he’s an able understudy. Saves from Jackson, Sarr, Gueye. No chance against Sarr equaliser. Or Sabaly (93) as 3-1. Left exposed by his defence. But definitely England’s No 2.

2.Negatives 1. No leadership. Nobody rallying the players. No urgency. Needed Bellingham on earlier to fight the malaise, to take fight to Senegal. No precise, long passing to release the frontrunners. England have one of their best passers since Glenn Hoddle and Tuchel doesn’t use him. Trent stayed by the Trent.

3.Negatives 2. Kyle Walker has been a great servant for England but his race is run. He will be 36 at the World Cup so what was the point starting him? Why not unleash Alexander-Arnold’s creativity? One good cross from Walker. Caught out by Diouf for pace, which rarely happened in past. Caught out for concentration by Sarr. Wasn’t goalside. Bad mistake for such an experienced defender. No more Mr Reliable. At left-back, Lewis-Skelly rarely stepped into midfield. England missed Konsa at centre-back. Tuchel’s two-man midfield eclipsed by Senegal’s. England vulnerable to the Senegal counter.

4.Senegal far more fluid side. Malick Diouf impressive, attacking left-back. Jackson more commanding than at #CFC, more confident. Ismaila Sarr a threat even before goal (40). Habib Diarra great run in behind for Senegal second (62). Koulibaly sweeping ball, Gibbs-White didn’t react, Lewis-Skelly caught out of position, Colwill didn’t get across, Diarra coolly placed ball between Henderson’s legs and in. Sabaly’s composed finish for 3-1 (92).

5.England roadshow works. Surprise, surprise. England belong to the nation, not to Wembley and the FA. Great atmosphere here at the City Ground. At the start. Also a celebration of #NFFC influence on England down the years. Wonderful tifo salute to Viv Anderson in Trent End. FA still has to pay off Wembley, and double the gates, but occasional games round the country work, and trip to Villa Park for Andorra visit in September (and why not FA Cup semis back?). Mood turned second half. Paper planes, jeers. “Tuchel out,” one fan shouted. But fans mainly applauded players. #ENGSEN

3-1 Senegal. Boos from #ENG fans. Tuchel's honeymoon over. #ENGSEN

A penny for Toney’s thoughts. Kane off, Rogers on. #ENGSEN

Promising start by England, then disappointing; smiles, then scowls. Senegal the better side. At least, more hunger than against Andorra, stronger press, Gallagher/Eze ambush led to Kane’s 73rd international goal. Gordon missed great chance. 4-2-4 system not yet bringing best out of Saka. Chalobah/Gallagher good, Dean Henderson excellent, saves from Jackson, Sarr, Gueye. No chance with Sarr goal. Walker caught napping. #ENGSEN #ENG

Kyle Walker already beaten once for pace, got caught out for Senegal goal and now booked for a late challenge on Diouf. Walker used to be England's Mr Reliable. No longer. #ENG #ENGSEN

City Ground reverberates to "Morgan Gibbs-White, Morgan Gibbs-White", who's on the bench #NFFC #ENG #ENGSEN

Lovely touch from the FA to put pictures of the late John Curtis and Brian Glanville in the press room at the City Ground. #ENGSEN

Time to celebrate Craig Bellamy and his fearless Wales, even in defeat. Also on today’s The Winter View a look forward to #ENGSEN and hope #ENG play with a smile and show their true talent. Plus a look at fans’ fund-raising for the Bobby Moore Fund. https://pod.fo/e/2e2cf1

Franchement, ça s'est joué à peu de choses.
Si les Anglais n'avaient pas eu Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Henderson, Walker et Rice, le Sénégal aurait pu faire jeu égal.

Bravo aux Sénégalais qui ont fait jeu égal avec les Anglais et qui méritaient mieux. (Pendant une demi-heure. Après ils ont complètement pris l'eau.)

Despite my initial doubts, this has turned into a good game for England, with a 3-0 lead. The question is whether we can improve our game still further as France will prove to be a big challenge next Saturday. #ENGSEN #WorldCup #FIFAWorldCup
