<\/p>\nEngland won four of their first five matches under Tuchel but failed to impress with their play. Fans are questioning whether the team can raise their level.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thomas Tuchel\u2019s first five games as England manager have brought mixed reactions. While England won four matches, the style of play has left many unimpressed. Critics say the football<\/a> looks too much like Gareth Southgate\u2019s era as safe, slow, and lacking excitement.<\/p>\n England opened Tuchel\u2019s run with a 2-0 win over Albania, then followed it with a 1-0 victory over Andorra, where Noni Madueke stood out. A stronger 5-0 result over Ireland came earlier under interim coach Lee Carsley, making Tuchel\u2019s scorelines look modest in comparison. Against Latvia, ranked 137th, England managed only a 3-0 win, with two late goals and a free kick from Reece James securing the victory.<\/p>\n The low point came in a 3-1 friendly defeat to Senegal at the City Ground, marking the first time an African side beat England. Tuchel\u2019s side closed this stretch with another win over Andorra, 2-0, though one goal was an own goal.<\/p>\n Fans now question whether Tuchel can lift performances before the World Cup. Results have come, but the lack of spark has raised concern about England\u2019s readiness for tougher tests.<\/p>\n
