Thomas Tuchel called out his England players for their poor attitude after his side produced a dreary showing against Andorra. The Three Lions on Saturday to earn three points in World Cup qualifying, but their expected by .

England were booed off at half-time after barely mustering a shot on goal and took the lead when turned in Noni Madueke's cross after the break. That was just about the only moment of quality in the entire match from the away side, who were lethargic and uninspired.

Former captain in the second half as the game meandered towards its conclusion. And while England's performance left a lot to be desired, supporters can at least take something positive from straight-talking Tuchel's no-nonsense assessment.

"We had a good 25 minutes, we played according to the plan, but we couldn't keep the energy up," he told , echoing many of Keane's points. "It's as easy as that. The energy after 25 minutes, the rhythm the energy, the determination was not there any more. It also came with a lack of quality in the little details, passing, finishing, decision making."

Asked what the message was to the players, he replied: "That was basically the message, that I was most worried in the last 20 minutes because I did not like the attitude with which we ended this game. It felt almost like we have to play until the 93rd minute.

"I didn't like the lack of urgency in the end and I think it did not match the occasion: it's still a World Cup qualifier away from home. I didn't like it at all. The players know all [of this] because I said it in the dressing room."

Tuchel has won all three of his first matches in charge of England without conceding, but will hope for a much improved display when they take on Senegal in a friendly in Nottingham next week. He had few positives to take away from the day in , with winger Madueke the only player to catch the eye.

HAVE YOUR SAY! What did you make of England's performance? .

Keane said: "We try to make excuses for England a little bit. Obviously it is the end of the season and it's been tough on the players. I thought, first half, was OK. But I felt when they scored the goal, they felt it was job done. I was really disappointed with England's attitude after the goal went in.

"The manager can't be happy with that effort in the last half an hour. I know it's job done, but you still expect more from England. Good goal from Kane - you can always rely on him - a really good ball from [Curtis] Jones - that bit of quality - but overall, and particularly in the second half, the attitude of the players, I didn't think was great."

He added: "I worry when I see players getting bored. I felt some of the players got bored in the last half an hour and I don't like to see that. It's when the goal went in, it was job done. It's Andorra - go and get some more goals! These players have to impress this manager, he's still new to the job.

"You show that with your attitude. Go and get some more goals! You're attacking players, you can't keep looking at Kane. Kane's been your main man for years, but the other attacking players have to say 'I have to have an impact here'."
