Verdict in England of Tuchel on Malueke, Rashford, Eze, Anderson
England manager Thomas Tuchel described Elliot Anderson as “very, very good” during the 22 -year -old international beginnings – but criticized Ebelechi Eze, Marcus Rashford and Noni Madueke after the three Lions worked on a 2-0 victory in Andorra at Villa.
Faced with opponents without point and at 170 places below them in the FIFA ranking, England took a 25th minute lead thanks to the goal of Christian Garcia de Madueke’s Cross and scored again through the head of Declan Rice with 23 minutes remaining.
“(Anderson) was a little nervous at the start of the training week, then he did good and we said” let’s try him “, reflected Tuchel, who gave in the Nottingham Forest midfielder his first call for qualifications against the men and Serbia on Tuesday.
“It was the test and he succeeded in the test, so there is no reason why he does not play in Serbia. If we decide to have the post for him, he is ready.”
The impasse is broken! ✅

England qualifiers of the World Cup: Tuchel wants more
Tuchel looked less impressed by attackers Eze, Rashford and Madueke. “EBS may not have his best day in position number 10,” the German told ITV Football after supervised his fifth game in charge.
“He trained so well (but) had a little trouble with decision -making. The last pass, Noni’s last decision was not clinical enough.
“Sometimes (Madueke) has a little lack of concentration and falls asleep, but if we push it – if he pushes himself – he can be a very important player. Bukayo (Saka) is injured, so he goes up and that’s what he has to do.
“Marcus Rashford had good times but could not finish them with clinical help. These are things that can occur against (opponents playing) 5-4-1.”
The 52 -year -old man was satisfied with the elements of his team’s performance, adding that he had learned “a lot” on his team and predicting that they will “prove a point” in Belgrade, where they will protect a perfect defensive record against five points behind them with a match in hand.
