Thomas Tuchel gave England captain a piece of his mind, just days after the demanding Three Lions boss tore into Djed Spence.
No-nonsense Tuchel wasted no time in voicing his irritation at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, with captain Harry Kane his latest target.
Just three minutes into the final group stage game against Panama, Kane decided to drop into a deeper position in midfield with the ball.
The Bayern Munich striker looked to play it wide to the right to Arsenal‘s Bukayo Saka, only to miscue his pass and it flew out of play.
The camera quickly panned to an incandescent Tuchel, who was pictured ranting and raving in Kane’s direction, throwing his hands in the air for maximum effect.
Thomas Tuchel was furious with his England players in the early stages up against Panama
Tuchel cut an irritated figure for most of the first half, which saw England really struggle to break down Panama’s 5-4-1 system.
His frustration hadn’t vanished by the time the game reached the first half hydration break 23 minutes in, either.
As the rain poured down over New Jersey, an angry Tuchel was seen animatedly chatting to Marcus Rashford and Saka, before he took off his rain jakcet as he trudged back to the bench.
By the time got to half-time Tuchel was seen sprinting back to the dressing room with plenty to do to fix England’s performance, which had them provisionally as runners-up in the group with Croatia leading Ghana.
