Thomas Tuchel expressed his views on England's performance after their 3-2 defeat to Spain. He highlighted that the Three Lions became a danger to themselves with possession errors, leading to goals from Lamine Yamal, Alex Baena, and Mikel Oyarzabal.

Despite a successful World Cup qualifying campaign without conceding, England has now allowed nine goals in their last three matches against Argentina, France, and Spain. Tuchel dismissed concerns over the defensive setup, attributing the failures to individual mistakes during ball possession.

It's not a concern yet, I was quite happy and I think it was a step ahead. We suffered clearly from individual mistakes when we had the ball.

He criticized the tactical choices during England's World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina, where he opted to defend a one-goal lead instead of extending it. Tuchel commented on the 'DNA' of English players, suggesting that controlling the game with the ball is not inherent as it is for teams like Spain or Argentina.

Despite the defeat, Tuchel found positives in the performance, stating that England showcased their style and identity throughout the match. He noted, "We were a little bit self-responsible for the break in momentum towards the end of the match. But overall we have a lot of positives to take away."

England's upcoming fixtures include:

• September 29: Czech Republic (A), kick-off 7.45pm
• October 3: Croatia (A), kick-off 5pm.
