Carsley emphasized that his decision to exclude Maguire from the squad was not a reflection of his performance but rather an opportunity to evaluate other players, stating, "It was a chance of having a look at other players. It's nothing to do with form. It's looking at the next two camps to look at other players." This indicates a strategic approach for team selection that prioritizes freshness and energy among the squad members.
Reflecting on Maguire's future, Carsley reassured that Maguire remains significant to the team's plans moving forward: "Harry still has a really important part to play, not just in this squad but also in the campaign." This highlights Carsley’s commitment to maintaining strong relationships with players while exploring squad depth.
Carsley shared his philosophy about squad selection, suggesting he wants players who feel they've earned their place, saying, "It's not just a copy and a paste, I want them to feel like they all have earned their place in the squad." This philosophy illustrates Carsley's intent to foster competition and meritocracy within the team.
