Lee Carsley plans to revert to a more traditional tactical approach for England's upcoming Nations League match against Finland, following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley. The interim manager took responsibility for the loss, acknowledging that his decision to implement an attacking 4-2-4 formation, which included players like Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Cole Palmer in central roles, did not yield the desired results. The team struggled with cohesion and defensive stability, particularly when faced with Greece's counter-attacks. Carsley emphasized the need to lead by example and is determined to guide the team to a better performance in their next outing.

Lee Carsley, the interim manager of the England national football team, has acknowledged the challenge of fitting star players Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden into the same starting lineup for the upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and Finland. Despite the difficulty, Carsley is committed to finding a creative solution to enable the trio to play together in the future. For the matches scheduled at Wembley against Greece next Thursday and the away game in Finland three days later, Carsley has successfully included all three players in his squad. This marks their return after missing the previous fixtures in September, where England secured victories over the Republic of Ireland and Finland. Bellingham and Palmer were sidelined due to injuries, while Foden was unavailable due to illness. Carsley also emphasized the importance of Harry Maguire to the team, despite his omission from the current squad.
