Maybe the predictable tactics and shoehorning big name players was a tribute to Sven?Carsley not picking a recognised striker, leaving Watkins and Solanke on bench to try and shoehorn in the stars, was a terrible decision.
He has reaped what he sowed.
will the FA now look at an experienced manager?
I doubt it. But he looked like an amateur out of this depth tonight.
Interesting comments, sounds like they’ve already got their man, and what I’ve heard from a well placed source I think @Han Solo is going to be a happy man.

There's no manager in the world that can make people play a Nations League group stage game like a cup final so if thats your expectation... you'll never be pleased. In every nation there's a hundred nation border lickers who get excited by Nations League. Everyone else save their enthusiasm for something more useful.Carsley isn’t the man
Players took it lightly , no one wanted to be there , just going through the motions and this was carsleys opportunity to ensure the players played this game like a cup final . That’s his job
Also , we seem to arrive at every tournament not knowing our best set up or side.
Last night whilst good to have a look won’t help massively .
We all know the 8 starters . Just f*** about with the rest but play the core that you will need to win big games . Have a settled team and system . The constant tinkering has never helped us . We got to a euro final playing shit . This is a team that is only a couple of tweaks being special . What he did last night undid all the best bits of England and he’s a fool for that .
Carsley has seamlessly slotted in to the regime. I want to see players somehow Inspired by playing greece at home . We don’t need massive experiments .
Carsley hasn’t inspired , carsley can’t inspire , carsley isn’t the man
God Save the Chatroom won't be much more successful than God Save The Queen.Will be int
Will be interesting to see what happens.
I’d heard from another source that he was definitely not taking it.
God help England chat rooms if he does take it. What will Swansman (aka @Han Solo ) turn up as on there? @Swenglish maybe?
Suggested names here.
Why does it matter what tier we are in?Even if they fail to end up topping the group, things still aren't lost. A 2nd place finish would mean a 2 leg playoff in March 2025 against one of the four 3rd place Group A (Tier 1) sides. Currently those sides are Poland, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Win that and England are back in the top tier. Far less preferable than automatic qualification, but it's another route regardless.
