England 2-0 Andorra: Roy Keane criticizes passes upside down of three lions after the World Cup qualification victory | Football news

Roy Keane criticized England for falling back on “in their old habits” and playing “passes upside down” in their uninteresting victory over Andorra.

A own goal and a second half’s investigation by Declan Rice led England to a 2-0 victory to Villa Park to maintain their 100% record in qualifying in the World Cup, but the latter victory was only a slight improvement compared to the bad performance in Andorra in June.

The message before Thomas Tuchel’s match was that his team was ready to show the intensity, energy and clinical edge that had failed in summer, but, after a quick start, England had trouble choosing a path through their well -organized opponents. There was a chance for more goals, especially in the second half, but it was not the big step before Tuchel would have hoped.

England has only managed 11 shots from 83% possession.

“The manager didn’t look too happy at the end,” said Sky Sports Exhidit Keane on ITV.

“He will be frustrated again by the second half. We are on the fact of fixing high standards, to obtain good habits.

“I always think that England fell back into its old manners tonight, certainly in the second half. Passes upside down.

“We have seen their two goals, especially the second, just from a cross. They have to cross it a little more, do not complicate the game. And I always think they are retreating too many times.”

Tuchel insisted that progress is underway. “I am very positive about the group that was in the camp now and how they presented themselves, how they behaved, how they trained and how we played today,” he said during his post-match press conference.

“I am absolutely convinced that we are on the right track and on the right track.”

However, he also clearly spoke by criticizing the performance of the Ebelechi Eze, Noni Madueke and Marcus Rashford attackers.

“We have missed the short moments to accelerate the match,” he said Itv. “Maybe EBS did not have his best day in position n ° 10. He trained so well. In decision-making, he had a little trouble.

“Noni’s last pass was not clinical enough. Rashford had good times but could not finish them with clinical aid.

“We should have scored the second earlier because the second goal gave us much more freedom.”

“ A very strong performance ” – Tuchel rents Anderson

There have been praise for Elliot Anderson, who impressed as a deep midfielder at his beginnings.

Tuchel had pointed out this as a problem of problem for England before the match, referring to the central defender John Stones could be the best option, but he declared that Anderson “had successfully test” and could continue in the role in the future, starting with Serbia outside on Tuesday.

“He’s just a very, very good football player. He has the physique, he is a very mobile n ° 6, he likes to defend, he likes to put his body inside, he likes to pass, he likes to break the lines, he is just very mobile in this game, it was a pleasure to see,” said Tuchel.

“It was a bit of a nervous start in the week, which is also pleasant to see, that everything is not normal for guys. They are always nervous to come to the camp, and I am not afraid to admit it, that they were a little nervous, but very quickly, he adapted to the quality, then we thought, why not give him the stadium right away?

“I think the team around him was as easy as possible for him, and he experienced a very strong performance.”
