Harry Kane grabbed the winner in a scrappy European Qualifying Group K game when he broke the deadlock early in the second half, turning in lively Noni Madueke's cross, but the expected goals onslaught did not follow.
"I am not happy with the performance, of course," German coach Tuchel said.
"We started quite well in the first 20-25 minutes, which was the only part where I had the feeling it was only a matter of time, we created a lot of half-chances and from set-pieces, that we will score and keep on going.
"But we lost completely the momentum and couldn't get it back through the whole of the first half."
Elsewhere in the World Cup European qualifiers a goal from 39-year-old Edin Dzeko gave Bosnia and Herzegovina a 1-0 win over San Marino.
The Balkan republic leads Group H with three wins, while San Marino are bottom with zero points.
