On Saturday night, England once again failed to make their advantage over a top team pay as they squandered a 2-1 half-time lead at home to Spain at Wembley Stadium.
Supporters were left feeling disappointed after Tuchel's England once again collapsed in the face of adversity, and it has left many fans calling for Thomas Tuchel to leave his role as England manager.
While there is no suggestion that the German will lose his job, Tuchel will be well aware of how quickly things can unravel in football, so a win against Czechia on Tuesday is a necessity.
After missing a second-half penalty in the match against Spain, Harry Kane will be doubly determined to get on the scoresheet in Czechia. The Bayern forward will undoubtedly retain his place in the starting XI, but changes could be on the cards.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was an unused substitute but will now be considered for a start, while Rio Ngumoha could come into the 23-man squad.
It's also worth remembering that Czechia also lost their opening Nations League match to Croatia at the weekend, so they will also be keen to put things right on Tuesday night.
This is their second-ever crack at League A, following an unsuccessful campaign in 2022/23 when they finished rock bottom of a group containing Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
While they would love to qualify for the quarter-finals, they would likely accept a third-place finish as they look to secure qualification for Euro 2028.
Manager Santi Denia, who was appointed following the World Cup this summer, has already had to deal with several issues. In the build-up to the Croatia match, David Zima, David Jurasek, Matej Rynes, Tomas Vlcek, Lukas Provod, Denis Visinsky and Tomas Chory all pulled out.
