  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Tuchel has been in the spotlight after overseeing an underwhelming 1-0 win over Andorra and a 3-1 defeat to Senegal last time out. The Three Lions remain top of their group in World Cup qualifying, but recent results suggest a big improvement will be needed if Tuchel's side are to make an impact at next summer's tournament.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Gascoigne, who helped England reach the World Cup semi-finals in 1990, says it's not been a great start to life as England boss for Tuchel. The former Tottenham star has also questioned what the atmosphere in the dressing room is like under Tuchel, who is the first German and only the third foreign head coach to lead the Three Lions.

• WHAT GASCOIGNE SAID

  Gascoigne, speaking exclusively to GOAL on behalf of Esports Insider, said: "It's not a very good start and if I was him, I'd be panicking. It must be awkward. I mean, fortunately for me, I had two great English managers in Terry Venables and Bobby Robson. But to be a German manager, I wonder what the atmosphere is like in the dressing room? It can’t be that good. I saw the manager’s interview after the last game and he looked like a nervous wreck."

  WHAT NEXT FOR ENGLAND

  Tuchel will hope to see improvements from his team when they return to action in September. England continue their World Cup qualifying campaign with games against Andorra and Serbia.
