Where does England's shambolic defeat against Greece at Wemble leave interim manager Lee Carsley?
Lee Carsley took on the England manager's job on an interim basis following Gareth Southgate's exit in JulyEngland's interim manager Lee Carsley gambled with his team selection - and potentially his future - when he rolled the dice against Greece at Wembley. He walked away empty-handed and embarrassed.
The result of Carsley's experimentation was an unseemly shambles, a confused tactical mess that was desperate defensively, with Greece having the ball in England's net five times only to see three ruled out for offside. Two from Vangelis Pavlidis counted, condemning them to defeat. It appeared to be a verbal slip, and that he was trying to say he would be comfortable returning to his old position if that was what the Football Association wanted. It was an unsatisfactory, muddled conclusion to an eminently forgettable night for Carsley.
The general feeling was that this was Carsley's England job to lose, the Football Association preferring another graduation from the Under-21 production line that delivered Southgate, one also used to great effect by countries such as Spain, with coach Luis de la Fuente taking that same path to success with the seniors at Euro 2024.
"My remit has been clear from the start - I'm doing three camps. There are three games left and then hopefully I'll be going back to the Under-21s. It has almost no impact." "It's unrealistic to expect too much and we will have to try again. It's definitely an option going forward.If there was a system, it almost impossible to detect what it was.
