Sky Sports football writers analyze England's 2-1 home defeat to Greece, highlighting the imbalance caused by prioritizing star players over tactical cohesion. The article argues that Lee Carsley's experiment with an attacking lineup backfired, mirroring a similar mistake made by Gareth Southgate at the Euros.
After Lee Carsley suffered the first blip in his audition for the England manager's job - if he wants the role, that is - Sky Sports' football writers look at what went wrong in the 2-1 home loss to Greece . Too many stars, not enough balanceLee Carsley should have learned from the mistakes of those that had come before him. You simply cannot cram a bunch of stars into one team and hope for the best.
Under Carsley, it's a symbol of the growing importance and potentially cracking the code as to how to get the best out of one of England's most productive players. However, despite creating the most chances of any player on the pitch, Alexander-Arnold's defensive play has been drawn into question once again. His lax display at the back meant that time after time, Greece found joy on that left side of the pitch.
