Some interesting newcomers to the senior England squad for the Nations League games against Republic of Ireland and Finland - Angel Gomes, Livramento, Madueke and Gibbs-White. Unsurprisingly all have played for Carsley before in the U21 team but Gomes is the least well known even though he is ex-Man United as he plays for Lille. Livramento is a very quick wingback while Madueke and Gibbs-White have both started the Premier League season very well. The most interesting omission is Kyle Walker - I did not think he had the greatest tournament at the Euros but he was the only Englishman in UEFAs team of the tournament- presumably Carsley thinks that at 34 the next World Cup will be beyond him.
I wish Carsley all the best - a very useful, hard-working player in his time who has done really well with coaching the Under 21s. If he does really well he will obviously come into contention for the full-time job though I think the FA are deliberately keeping their options open and would really love to have Pep Guardiola in charge if the situation at Man City goes pear-shaped when their charges are finally heard.
