Lee Carsley’s “spooked” response to criticism and reluctance to reveal whether he wants the permanent England job could hinder his chances of succeeding Gareth Southgate, according to Man City expert Steven McInerney from @EsteemedKompany
The 50-year-old received widespread criticism for his selection and tactical approach following England’s shock 2-1 home defeat to Greece in the UEFA Nations League, but the Three Lions returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory away against Finland.
Carsley’s continuous public evasion of indicating any desire to coach the Three Lions on a full-time basis has intensified confusion and uncertainty about his future, and McInerney believed that this approach from the Birmingham-born boss may not help his cause if he truly wants the job.
