The results from the above poll:

Yes - they can win the World Cup - 6%

Gone backwards since Southgate - 60%

Fair? Hit the thumbs.

Talking about the England shirt weighing heavy, you go back to the days of Fabio Capello. Gareth Southgate did a lot in particular at trying to take away that burden, of that expression. I think some of the comments made by Thomas Tuchel, it's a backward step because all of a sudden you are almost encouraging the negativity.

I don't think England, from a position where they were, the position was to go forwards rather than go back from where England have been challenging in previous tournaments.

There wasn’t much to celebrate for England fans in the defeat by Senegal but it was nonetheless a proud moment for one family. Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah made his senior international debut at the City Ground, following in the footsteps of older brother Nathaniel, who won his only cap seven years ago.

They are the 21st set of siblings to represent the Three Lions but only the third in the past 90 years, along with Gary and Phil Neville plus World Cup winners Bobby and Jack Charlton.

Nathaniel, who is now at Sheffield Wednesday, has one of the shortest England careers on record, having spent around seven minutes on the pitch as an injury-time substitute in a Nations League win away to Spain in 2018.

Trevoh has already sured that total, having completed last night’s match.

I do think in the opening seconds the alarm bells were ringing because one of Senegal's first attacks went straight through the midfield. They cut through the midfield with ease and Thomas Tuchel turned around to his bench with his arms open wide as if to say 'how easy was that">Image source, Getty Images

Thomas Tuchel has taken charge of three World Cup qualifiers so far and has won all of them. The game against Senegal was a friendly.

Those victories mean England sit on top of their qualifying group as things stand. That will be crucial to hang on to as the winner of each group automatically qualifies.
