Thomas Tuchel's feelings on England playing away from Wembley after slamming fans

Thomas Tuchel insists England are progressing towards playing like a Premier League club side - and has no ambition to move his team away from Wembley Stadium despite his complaints about the atmosphere. The Three Lions boss admits his ambition is to get England performing like a top-flight team because it will boost their chances of lifting the World Cup this summer.

The German coach has stressed that the competitive nature, physicality and pace of the Premier League makes it the most demanding league on the planet. Tuchel reckons emulating the finest Prem outfits such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City, whilst utilising long throws and set pieces, will make "Team England" capable of challenging anyone.

And almost 12 months after taking charge of the Three Lions, Tuchel says England are making progress. "We are getting there," said Tuchel. "We are getting there 100 per cent. In Serbia it looked like club football and against Wales it looked like club football."

England netted five against Serbia and secured a comfortable 3-0 triumph over Wales, with Tuchel criticising the Wembley supporters for being "silent" and failing to provide sufficient backing.

However, Tuchel has effectively dismissed the prospect of staging next year's two March friendlies - expected to be the final two home fixtures before England travel to the United States for the World Cup - at any venue other than Wembley.

Previous England manager Gareth Southgate regularly enjoyed taking the squad around the country to various Premier League stadiums, but Tuchel maintained he will have "no problem" with playing at Wembley.

Tuchel stated: "I am pretty sure we will play here (at Wembley) and no problem. I loved the support in Serbia and I am sure we will have top support in Latvia and of course once we arrive at the World Cup it will be outstanding.

"They should not under-estimate how much it helps sometimes if the game goes a bit flat. Like if they keep the thing going again it could help us and then we would have maybe scored and regained energy. It is give and take."

In other news, England skipper Harry Kane and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins are both anticipated to be match-ready for the journey to Latvia next Tuesday.

Kane was absent from the Wales match due to an ankle problem, while Watkins was taken off after a collision with a post, but both have declared their fitness.

England has the opportunity to secure their place in the World Cup in Latvia next Tuesday, provided results are favourable and Serbia fail to triumph over either Albania - who they meet on Saturday night - or Andorra during this international break.
