Good camp, bad camp. Who are the winners and losers from Thomas Tuchel's November England games?

England completed a perfect qualifying campaign on Sunday, with the 2-0 win over Albania making record-breaking history. 

The Three Lions became the first European nation to win eight qualifying games without conceding a single goal, giving Thomas Tuchel the ideal start to his reign as national team boss. 

Despite their dominance over the past two games, Tuchel would have learned more about his squad this week as he shapes his squad ahead of the World Cup next summer.

So, which players have furthered their standings in his eyes and which still have work to do? DAZN News assesses the winners and 'losers' from November's camp. 

Good camp 

Harry Kane 

There’s rarely any doubt when it comes to Harry Kane in an England shirt, but if anyone’s still clinging to the idea he’s not the nation’s best-ever striker, it’s time to let that go. 

It was another horribly tight game in Albania on Sunday, with England looking like they were heading for a stalemate and an end to their perfect record in the group, until up steps the country's record goalscorer. 

Two late goals, two predatory specials, and numbers 77 and 78 for the Three Lions. Don't pick holes in his stats, don't underappreciate our finest ever marksman, just worry about who will do this exact job when he's gone, because the cupboard beyond Kane is pretty bare.

All he's missing to cement his place as the best England ever player is a World Cup win...

Nico O'Reilly  

By golly, I think we may have found ourselves a left-back! 

Only four players started both qualifiers this week, the established first choice trio of John Stones, Declan Rice and Harry Kane, as well as Nico O'Rielly - and that says a lot. 

Tuchel has tried several players in England's problem position, but the Man City youngsters assured, calm and faultless performances over the two games must put him in prime position as the Three Lions' starting left-back. He was even involved in Bukayo Saka's opener against Serbia, showing he could be a real asset in attack, too. 

There's still time for someone else to try and rival the City star, but Tuchel may have finally found an answer. 

Marcus Rashford 

One of the other spots that still looks up for grabs is the left side of England's attack, and in the absence of Anthony Gordon, both Marcus Rashford and Ebere Eze were given a shot to stake their claims. Over the two games, it looks like Rashford may have edged ahead. 

Eze did well in a cameo role against Serbia, settling the game with an audacious finish for England's second goal, but struggled to make an impact from the off in Albania. Whereas Rashford put in a confident display as a starter at Wembley and then came off the bench to set up Harry Kane's second goal on Sunday. 

There wasn't much between them, but at the moment, it looks like Rashford has the lead in that spot.

Bad camp

Jude Bellingham 

The nation's new talking point is the role of Jude Bellingham in Thomas Tuchel's England set-up. 

It seems odd to consider it a bad camp for Jude, given he was voted Man of the Match against Albania. However, his reaction to being subbed in that game still raises a question mark over his relationship with the current gaffer. 

Tuchel stuck to his guns at Wembley by sticking with Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role, and although the Real Madrid star came off the bench and then started on Sunday, the manager's comments after the game suggest that he's far from the automatic choice he once was for his country. 

The March camp could be key, because it feels like Bellingham's last chance to prove that both personally and professionally, he should be a starter in this England team.

Phil Foden 

Probably harsh to consider it a 'bad camp' for Foden, but he didn't really do anything to suggest that he had forced his way into England's first XI and remains out of the Bellingham/Rogers conversation in that number 10 role. 

The Man City man wasn't given a start in either game, and although he did assist England's second goal for Ebere Eze against Serbia, that was probably his only notable moment across two games where he came off the bench. 

He's probably not a starter right now, but the concern is that if the squad is only a 23-man party, then there are only so many places up for grabs in those attacking areas - especially with Cole Palmer still to return to the fold. 

Myles Lewis-Skelly 

Turn back time to the young Arsenal star skidding on his knees on his Wembley debut, and it looked like we'd found a cornerstone to Tuchel's new England. 

However, after struggling for game time at the Emirates, he missed out on the latest squad, and now he looks to have been usurped in the left-back spot that once looked his own. 

Of course, there's time on his side, but it looks increasingly likely that his maiden tournament may not be in North and Central America.
