After the win over Wales, Tuchel called out England fans during a TV interview for a lack of atmosphere at Wembley.
He said: “If you then hear for half an hour just Wales fans, it’s a bit sad because I think the team deserved big support today.”
The travelling England fans at the Daugava Stadium made light of the manager’s frustrations.
“We’ll sing when we want, we’ll sing when we want, Thomas Tuchel, we’ll sing when we want!” they chanted.
They also jokingly sang: “Are we loud enough for you?”
England fans then started an X-rated chant, as they shouted: “Our support is f****** s***!”
Tuchel didn’t seem fazed though, as he appeared to gave the away fans a thumbs up during one of their songs.
And speaking to ITV after the match, he said whilst laughing: “Got some stick in the first half, fair enough and well done.
“Good sense of humour and no problem! It was brilliant support from start to finish tonight.”
After Anthony Gordon put England in front on 26 minutes, the visiting fans are said to have chanted: “1-0 to the library.”
