The difference a game makes. There was plenty of goodwill towards Lee Carsley after his first window as England’s interim manager, with the BBC among those surmising that the job was his to lose. All that goodwill evaporated on Thursday night, when England were beaten by Greece after Carsley picked an, a-hem, experimental XI that inccluded five forwards and no striker.

Carsley was praised by many before the game for letting England’s hair down, then ridiculed after it for being a bald fraud. And while it’s almost entirely unfair, Carsley’s distinguished England coaching career will probably now be remembered for the night he gambled on a 4-1-5-0 formation.

“You want the public to trust and love the team,” said Carsley, “because the impact the national team has on the public is very inspiring. We know we can do a lot better. You have to respect people’s opinions and we didn’t perform as well as we can and I would expect a reaction against Finland.”

England will pick a more conventional team in Finland, with Harry Kane likely to return up front, and they yet could end the day on top of Group B2. That would require the Republic of Ireland to win in Greece but, as England know all too well, stranger things have happened.

A little reading before the match
Finland national team coach Marc Kanerva speaks to ITV
We want to give our fans a great game. We know how tough it is, but we are ready for miracles. We have to defend well for over 90 minutes, be very solid and compact, and take care of the ball when we have it.
“Carsley's interesting words We wanted to try something different,” says Joe Pearson. “Is that a cryptic way of saying that this is a lesson to everyone who thinks Southgate is too cheap and conservative?”
I don't know if that's his way. I think it was in the spirit of the England cricket team to test the limits of what was possible. This is highly commendable, as he was smart enough to know what would happen if it didn't work out.
England's Nations League campaign November concludes with games against Greece (A) and Ireland (H), after which speculation about Gareth Southgate's replacement will begin in earnest. That would be fun.

Lee Carsley speaks on ITV
It is no exaggeration to say that it fell below our expectations. We got a good reaction tonight so we can use this as a really positive thing.
[On Dean Henderson’s selection] I always wanted to see Dean at one of the games.
[On Trent Alexander-Arnold at left-back] His role will be a little different from a traditional left-back. He is very versatile and we have a lot of confidence in him.
[On the reaction to Thursday’s defeat] It's totally fine. It was what I expected. Full responsibility is on me as I wanted to try something different. If I had the time again, I would do the exact same thing.
Jonathan Lew talks about England
For many years, the focus of England's cultural development has been on how to keep them happy at a time when remuneration and prestige are weighing ever more heavily on club football. This is one of Gareth Southgate's greatest achievements, and by the end even he seems a little lost in space, desperately trying to get the circus back on track and star All the cast members were convinced that they had some kind of unique protagonist energy.
When it works, a star player steps up at a crucial moment and drags you into a major final you weren't supposed to. However, the problem with this model is that the effort becomes situational. Euro semi-finals: okay. UEFA Nations League Group B2 in October: Good luck. That's why a certain arrogance, a certain capriciousness seems to have crept into this setting.
The poor guy probably can't wait to get back into the under-21 team.

preamble
The difference that games make. There has been a lot of goodwill towards Lee Carsley since his first appointment as interim England manager, with the BBC also speculating that he would be the one to lose his job. All that goodwill evaporated on Thursday night when England lost to Greece after Carsley used an experimental XI consisting of five forwards and no strikers.
Carsley was praised by many for letting England's hair down before the match, but was derided as a bald fraud afterwards. And although it's almost entirely unfair, Carsley's outstanding coaching career in England will probably now be remembered for the night he bet on a 4-1-5-0 formation. It will be.
“We want the public to trust and love the team,” Kearsley said. “Because the impact that the national team has on the people is very inspiring. We know that we can do better. We have to respect people's opinions, but we didn't perform as well as we could. , the reaction to Finland is to be expected.”
England will opt for a more traditional side in Finland, with Harry Kane likely to return to the front and could finish the day top of Group B2. For that to happen, the Republic of Ireland would need to win in Greece, but as England are well aware, something strange happened.
kick off 5pm.
