England beat Albania and Latvia in Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Thomas Tuchel's demands for urgency are easier said to do than done.

Germany boss wants England to play with two number 10s at the base of midfield .

Tuchel also wants to field vertically vertically and horizontally.

England 's 2-1-4-1 formation was more aggressive than Gareth Southgate's 4-3-2 formation.

England boss Tuchel wants aggressive wingers, but risks isolating them without full-back support.

Arsenal left-back Lewis-Skelly scored the opener against Albania with the kind of incisive forward run England lacked.

Tuchel 's high-intensity approach will only become an issue in important late-stage World Cup matches, when he will need to be properly screened.
