: "He’s being assessed. In the build-up to the first goal you could see he felt something in his leg."Last night, Carsley did what England fans have been asking for. Kane didn't play , he played attacking players and he took a risk. Let's give him some slack and see how we get on against Finland.: "I didn't think we started the game great. I thought that we were second best a lot of times.
However, it was a much-improved performance in the second half and Liam Scales headed home Brady's free-kick just shy of the hour mark to score the first goal of the Hallgrimsson era. "I’m comfortable and confident with that. After the first camp I didn’t get too excited or believe too much, I’m very aware this is one of the best jobs in the world in terms of having the chance of actually winning a major competition.": "I was quite surprised after the last camp in terms of ‘the job is mine’ and ‘it’s mine to lose’ and all the rest of it.
"It was a really special game for us because of George and of course we gave everything for him and for his family," Pavlidis told ITV. Even further back, England rued their inability to effectively combine the likes of Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard in the same side.Carsley did not name a recognised striker from the start - for what is thought to be a first for the Three Lions - with Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden false nines, Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon on the wings - and Cole Palmer starting in midfield.
Instead, straddling that fine line between being brave and being foolhardy, Carsley decided to throw it all up in the air with an attacking game-plan that looked thrilling on paper. Perhaps it should have stayed exactly there. It looked an ill-judged, flying by the seat of the pants, piece of management from the first moments of a humiliating 2-1 loss to Greece.
