Jack Grealish issues firm defence of Lee Carsley after scoring for England again: ‘I love playing for him’

Jack Grealish says he “loves playing” for Lee Carsley. After scoring again under the interim head coach in England’s 3-1 win over Finland on Sunday.

Grealish made it two goals in three ทางเข้า ufabet appearances under Carsley. The same number he manage in 36 games with Gareth Southgate. England respond to Thursday’s shock defeat to Greece at Wembley with a comfortable victory in the Nations League.

Carsley play five forwards but no recognised striker in the 2-1 reverse at Wembley.

But return to a more conventional line-up in Helsinki, with Trent-Alexander Arnold and Declan Rice adding second-half goals before Arttu Hoskonen’s late consolation.

Carsley afterwards effectively appeared to rule himself out of contention for the permanent head coach’s job, saying England deserve “a world class manager” with a history of winning trophies. But Grealish is happy playing for the 50-year-old and bemused by the recent criticism.

“Whatever happens with the England manager, some people will always say negative stuff. Before, people were crying out for all the so-called attacking players to play and we did it, it didn’t work for one game and there’s a few people moaning. “My honest opinion, I don’t get it, it can happen in games, everyone gets beaten in international football. I love coming here, he’s a top, top manager, a brilliant guy and I love playing for him.”
