Carsley reflects on the recent tactical choice, acknowledging it required more preparation and practice. 'Had Harry been fit I might have gone down another route,' he stated, indicating that his decision was influenced by the lack of a recognized center forward. The intention to explore alternative strategies was clear, as he pointed out that attacking football remains a priority for his coaching approach.
Carsley emphasized the importance of adaptability, stating, 'I probably won't try that again on Sunday... I know we need to do something different.' His commitment to learning from setbacks is evident as he prepares to lead the team into the next match. Carsley's focus on team reaction and cohesion suggests he is looking for a more solid performance defensively than opposed to Greece.
He also mentioned, 'My belief in this team hasn't changed. We tried something, it didn't come off,' highlighting his ongoing confidence in the squad despite the recent loss. Carsley is cautious about discarding experimental tactics too quickly, wanting to maintain flexibility in his coaching strategy.
Finally, he remarked on his past experiences, saying, 'I had 17, 18, 19 years as a player being defensive... That is definitely not how I want my teams to play.' This encapsulates Carsley’s philosophy of prioritizing an attacking style while balancing defensive strategies.
