Friendly or not, always nice to comfortably beat one of the home nations as they also come at you with the 'We'll beat you because we have more passion' line. 

 

I like that Tuchel isn't afraid to call out the Wembley crowd but not sure that will ever change, other than tournament games or games that have a bit riding on them. Would love to have Hampden atmosphere but Scotland are always in a critical situation so it just helps.

Interesting comments by Tuchel about the poor Wembley atmosphere, winning 3-0 and all you can hear is away losing team fans. The fans at the stadium is as always big let down.

The welsh fans took the piss, even at 3-0 down.  It's not difficult though, could 70,000 fans be any quieter than england fans?

 

It's never been worse, but you reap what you sow.  English football culture is over.

 

Most weeks you get some comment (usually from a foreign manager) about the atmosphere at games.  I don't think they understand why its like it, they've probably never experienced it before.

Hampden atmosphere is getting worse game by game. 

Combination of things, poor performances, the post Euro blues and games taking place midweek and Sunday nights etc.

 

Saturday games are few and far between nowadays,  but the atmosphere is completely different at Hampden for those.

Didn't seem five minutes since we last played Wales, you'd think the FA would look to play someone we haven't played before or for a long time. Last night we pretty learnt that Wales are still crap.

Ironic I've attended a few more lionesses matches over the years and the atmosphere seems 10x better. Apart from the annoying mexican wave... maybe helps they play around the country more and tickets are more affordable for the fans, so your not getting the higher wage fan lets like you do at the mens wembley international. 

 

I'd be interested to know if this friendly was played away from Wembley last night would the atmosphere have been better, could somewhere like Stadium Of Light hosted last night and had an improved atmosphere.

Hampden - Was good in 2017. 

 

When we beat them 2 years ago there the atmosphere was shocking. 

 

Atmosphere wise it would have helped being tonight. Wembley is hard to get away from. You see the ground emptying from 70 onwards to beat the rush to Wembley Park or the other stations around wembley. 

 

Take it on the road again. 

 

Im in the ESTC whilst the drink in London is brilliant there wouldn't be any harm in going around the country for nothing games like last night.

He probably knows whatever he does he will be criticised. So why break habit of a lifetime.

 

Too early to say Tuchel doing a bad job or not, one game from qualification. He will be judged more next summer. His contract his due up after that, so not like we're stuck with him.

In what way? The press never wanted him in the first place.

Exactly, he knows he won't win the entire crowd so why try to? Just do what he has to to be the best we can be

Give him credit for addressing the Wembley atmosphere where other previous England managers wouldn't. Fans need to play their part, turning up is one thing but supporting the team is another.

Are we good?

We’ve gotten better at breaking average teams down. Will wait til we play a decent team before coming to conclusions. Serbia were supposed to be our biggest challenge and they’ve been a shambles. Can’t even beat Andorra.
