Rio Ferdinand has spoken on poor media attention following the 0-0 draw with Ghana.

England suffered a frustrating goalless draw against Ghana on Tuesday night as the side lacked creativity and looked toothless in attack.

There are a number of issues England need to address, but the Three Lions remain in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages heading into their final Group L match against Panama where Tuchel is set to rotate his side. 

Following the Ghana clash, reports came out that suggested Tuchel leaving out the likes of Harry Maguire, Phil Foden and Cole Palmer was a huge mistake and that the players he did pick, were not cut out for the World Cup. 

These complaints came from the media as well as fans, as frustration starts to grow around the side who will need a better performance against Panama on Saturday night. 

Ferdinand has brushed off any criticism however, claiming that fans and the media alike must back Tuchel. 

“Here we go again…. 

“Tuchel after Croatia game was a genius, then after Ghana game he’s picked the wrong players. 

 “4 points - just relax and support the team & manager ffs!” 

Tuchel is considering “moderate” changes on Saturday which could include starting Bukayo Saka and benching Declan Rice who is one yellow card away from suspension.
