England lost 2-1 to Greece in astonishing circumstances on Thursday evening. Having picked a hugely attacking team, Carsley's side struggled for fluency and appeared to have been bailed out by a combination of VAR ruling out a late Greece goal to make it 2-0 and an 87th minute Jude Bellingham equaliser. However, an injury-time winner from Vangelis Pavlidis gave the visitors a stunning victory at Wembley.

@Rooney03 wrote: "Comfortably the worst England performance I've seen in my lifetime. That should put to bed Lee Carsley's chances of getting anywhere near this job."
@NUFCLC said: "Hilarious that the FA called this Carsley’s audition because they fully planned to give him the job based on the fact they thought we’d batter everyone. We’ve been absoluley dominated at home to Greece with our best team bar Kane. Get a proper manager in for f*ck sake."
@LeeAHinton95 added: "Lee Carsley was never ever the right man for the job. Get this audition over and let’s get a proper manager in charge."
@Dubstep1988 said: "Lee Carsley lining England up like a 14 year old on FIFA is backfiring. Grow up and put a striker on."
@Martingrantross concluded: "Turns out Lee Carsley isn't an elite international coach. Who knew?"
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Carsley has managed England to two wins – over the Republic of Ireland and Finland – but has also managed the country to their first-ever defeat to Greece. His line-up gamble did not pay off, and now he faces up to the prospect of having to survey the wreckage ahead of this weekend's return clash with the Finns.

England's clash with Finland now takes on even more importance this weekend. A failure to win the game would surely see Carsley's chances of getting the job permanently completely wiped out.
