ENGLAND boss Thomas Tuchel may have led our boys to a solid victory last night – but he quickly ruined it by opening his mouth and unleashing a stream of utter Scheiße.
Our cocky gaffer – including me and my lad – claiming we were silent, had no energy and failed to cheer on the team as they thumped the Welsh 3-0.
Thomas Tuchel bizarrely hit out at England fans on live TV
Speaking to reporters after a match that was a cakewalk from start to finish for stand-in captain and his team touchy Tuchel moaned: “The stadium was silent – we never got any energy back from the fans, and I think the players delivered a lot to get more from the fans.”
He ramped up his tantrum by claiming the 7,000 odd rowdy Welsh fans in attendance showed more heart and soul.
“If you then hear for half an hour just Wales fans, it’s a bit sad because I think the team deserved big support,” he whinged.
Well this fan has got a comment for him and – no need to grab your German dictionary for this one – FICK DICH!
I was there surrounded by scores of fans singing along and cheering each one of the three goals that went in – a din that got especially loud when Saka blasted in one of his finest goals yet for his country.
A multi-generational crowd – I spied toddlers and several school trip groups – we waved our flags and oohed and aahed much like I’ve heard at any of the many England games I’ve attended at our cavernous national stadium.
Was it the full-throated tribal roar me and my lad unleash in the Stretford end of Old Trafford during a must-win game?
Well, no.

THOMAS Tuchel's side blew the Dragons away in a brilliant first half.
But they took their feet off the gas in the second half, perhaps with Tuesday’s game against Latvia in mind.
So who impressed the manager at Wembley, and who has more to do?

But to say we were sitting there in silence was – and this time, pardon my French – absolute bollocks!
And anyway, what game does think he was at?
Was it a vital fixture on the road to the promised land of a World Cup or European trophy?
A do-or-die moment in English football where every man woman and child is painted from head to toe in the St George’s Cross, yelling “En-ger–lund” until our lungs burst?
Because when I checked my ticket it said it was midweek charity FRIENDLY – a match of zero significance against a team that we were red hot favourites to beat.
In other words a game that required some actual dedication from fans to be bothered to schlep out to Wembley on a school night and pay through the nose for absolutely everything along the way.
And then make the return journey to wherever they came from as marshalls kettled everyone down Wembley Way while one of them announced that the tube trains were screwed because only one line was running.
Most Londoners would not get home until 11pm – as I didn’t, with my weary 14 year-old in tow.
God knows what time anyone from out of town would have got back.
Maybe they didn’t bother and shelled out even more of their hard-earned cash on a hotel.
The stadium was silent – we never got any energy back from the fans, and I think the players delivered a lot to get more from the fans.
Thomas Tuchel
Yet despite the gigantic hassle of attending we all did it. Because we love the game – and we support our national team.
Attendance for last night’s game was 78,126 – of which less than ten per cent were Welsh supporters.
So just over 10,000 shy of the 90,000 capacity. On a Thursday night. In October.
Tuchel might want to think about that before he opens his Teutonic trap after the next home game.
How so many people came out to see his team play when that hasn’t always been something an England boss can take for granted.
Eleven years ago it was a different story indeed.
Just 40,000 bothered to show up to a similar no-consequence friendly against Norway in September 2014, the lowest audience for a national game since the stadium was built in 2007.
fans have put up with some terrible performances over the years but still we manage to find the cash – and yes, Tom, the ENERGY – to turn up and show our support.
Tuchel might fancy himself as more of a hardman coach than his predecessor Gareth Southgate but he would be wise to take on board his predecessor’s respect for the supporters.
Because there is no Three Lions without the thousands of us fans.
