England head coach Thomas Tuchel has urged supporters to remain patient and keep faith in the team despite criticism of their goalless draw against Ghana.

The Three Lions were forced to share the spoils with Ghana after playing out to a goalless draw in their previous match.

They will be hoping to bounce back and return to winning ways when they take on Panama at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Tuchel insists his players showed the right attitude and commitment in a difficult encounter against a defensively resolute opponent during their World Cup campaign.

“It is a long tournament. I think the boys tried everything (against Ghana) and again they played with the right energy.

“I know it’s a very different game and, in this case, if one team tries to play and to run against this deep block and you don’t find the spaces, it is difficult for you to create chances it can be difficult to watch.

“It is not as exciting as two teams trying to win it in a more open game. We know. We always try to entertain our fans. It was difficult today. I hope they don’t lose belief. It is a long way to go.”
