We cannot do more than being 3-0 in a derby. I hoped for a bit more backing in phases where it gets difficult.” “In the second half, to get behind us, there was a bit too much support for Wales. It could have helped us to recharge, but that’s football and so be it.” Selection Choices Vindicated by Performance Away from risking a fight with supporters, Tuchel also created controversy by excluding Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden from his squad.

Today fills me with drive.” Fitness Worry for Striker Ollie Watkins was substituted at half-time after hitting a post and may miss out when the national team play Latvia in Riga in a World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday.
