      England fans say ‘music to my ears’ after Lee Carsley’s ‘refreshing’ take on how he wants to play

      by

      ENGLAND fans are warming to Lee Carsley for his refreshing tactics after the interim manager promised “exciting” football.Carsley, 50, began life after Gareth Southgate with a 2-0 win over Republic of Ireland on Saturday thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish.Lee Carsley has vowed to play attacking football during his time as bossThe Three Lions will continue to play attack minded footballIt was the first of six matches Carsley has been guaranteed as he looks to make the case for him to be given the job permanently.England fans have been craving exciting and entertaining football, which wasn’t necessarily a top priority for the defensive minded Southgate.And Carsley’s latest comments have ignited optimism and joy among the Three Lions faithful who were keen to move away from the conservative tactics employed under the old regime.Before England face Finland on Tuesday, Carsley said: “I made a decision when I went into coaching that I wanted to play attacking football.READ MORE ON ENGLAND”I want us to be playing with control but it’s important we’re exciting to watch.”I think when fans come to watch England play at home they expect attacking football, they expect chances to be created and to play with a tempo and us to be on the ball. It’s entertainment.”One happy England fan wrote on X: “This is music to our ears.”While another wrote: “How refreshing is that!”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSA third said: “Carsley’s football is fast and forward-thinking build up play. What’s not to love? 🙌”Carsley played a 4-2-3-1 formation when he lifted the Euros with the U21s in 2023, placing emphasis on dominating the ball and taking chances.Jack Grealish opens up on ‘one of the worst summers of my life’ after scoring against England over former side IrelandBut his first senior game at the helm was not without its controversy as Irish fans booed and abused Rice and Grealish after they switched allegiances under Southgate.Carsley then refused to sing ‘God Save the King’ after earning 40 Irish caps during his career, before accidentally taking a seat in Ireland’s dugout.But former England striker Gary Lineker, 63, hailed the inclusion of Anthony Gordon, Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold in Saturday’s win.Speaking on The Rest is Football, he said: “It’s interesting as well, isn’t it, that perhaps some of the things fans were most disappointed about in the Euros – well, probably three things, maybe more.”But everyone wanted Gordon to play on the left because we all saw a weakness and an unbalance on that side. Grealish was left out entirely which bemused fans and Southgate never really trusted Trent.”In the first game Carsley has come up with all these things and a lot of us are going ‘you see? We told you’.”The Three Lions host Finland on Tuesday in Carsley’s first game at Wembley as boss.England Player Ratings vs IrelandDECLAN RICE silenced his Irish critics with a dominant display in England’s Nations League opener.Lee Carsley’s players handed him a debut win as interim manager of the Three Lions.Rice starred in the first half as he netted the opener and then set up England’s second goal.Jack Grealish doubled up for England after being set up by Rice 15 minutes later.Anthony Gordon however faded in the match as he was not able to have as much success as Grealish.SunSport’s Charlie Wyett has rated England’s players’ performance against Ireland…JORDAN PICKFORD – 6Pushed away a half decent shot from Sammie Szmodics at the start of the game but as England took control, he had a stress-free game.After a difficult couple of weeks with Everton, he would have been grateful for this. TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD – 7Looked more at home at right-back compared to the disastrous midfield experiment at the Euros.Stunning pass in a move that eventually led to the first goal. He has to remain as England’s right-back. MARC GUEHI – 7Enjoyed a decent Euros and switched over to the right of central defence as John Stones was named on the bench.Looks increasingly like a top-drawer defender. HARRY MAGUIRE – 7Was left devastated after failing to make the Euro 2024 squad but he has enjoyed a decent start with Manchester United and looked solid here.When he is not in the team, England do miss his aerial presence. 7LEVI COLWILL – 7Second appearance for England and was deployed at left-back.Unlike the Euros, England have much better balance in defence with a natural left footer in this position. 7DECLAN RICE – 9Enjoyed an absolute stormer in what could have been a difficult afternoon.Booed every time he touched the ball, the former Irish international quietened the boisterous home fans with a brilliant finish although refused to celebrate.He then set up the second for Grealish. KOBBIE MAINOO – 7Fits perfectly into Carsley’s style of play. Some of his passing was excellent, particularly in the final third of the pitch, and this included his part in the outstanding second goal. BUKAYO SAKA – 7Enjoying a terrific start to the season with Arsenal – he has been nominated as their player of the month – and played with plenty of confidence here.Was involved in the second goal.JACK GREALISH – 8Left out of the Euros squad, but loved every minute of this.A decent finish for 2-0 and unlike Rice, celebrated in front of the visiting fans by raising both arms in triumph.ANTHONY GORDON – 6Looked really lively early on but faded.He should have put England ahead when clean through but was lucky that seconds later, Rice hammered his shot into the corner. 6HARRY KANE – 6Missed with a header and despite working hard, did not actually have that many chances despite England having so much possession.

      William Hill’s Impact Sub nets punter £57k from £5 stake as over 2,000 more benefit from the promotion

      by

      A William Hill punter was celebrating to the tune of £57,000 – despite his initial Bet Builder picks LOSING.That’s because William Hill’s Impact Sub promotion saved the bet at monster odds in Sunday’s Portugal vs Scotland game in the Nations League.Find The Sun’s betting publishing principles hereHow to claim free bets with William Hill William Hill £60 welcome bonusVisit the William Hill website HERE*Register an account using the Promo Code: T60Once your account is registered, click ‘opt in’ on the ‘Vegas Promotion’ pageDeposit a minimum of £10 in your main account to receive a £20 Vegas Bonus for use on Selected GamesThen place a bet with a minimum stake of £10 at odds of 1/2 or greater on any football marketOnce that’s settled, your account will be credited with £40 in free betsWilliam Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*Impact Sub means your bet is still on at the original price, even if your player isn’t.On selected markets, if you add a player stat selection to your bet and they’re substituted in the game without doing as you predicted, your bet continues with the oncoming player now the subject of your bet.In this case, it was a fan favourite in the booking market, Joao Palhinha, that was the centre of attention.With Portugal trailing at the break, Palhinha was hooked by Roberto Martinez and replaced by Ruben Neves, in a move that in time gone by would’ve killed these bets.But that wasn’t the case this time when Neves was cautioned in the 67th minute, meaning a total of 775 bets ended up as WINNERS.That included one monster 11,465/1 bet builder which landed Hills customer Benny a stunning £57,000 payout from just £5 staked.William Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*William Hill’s Impact Sub nets punter £57k from £5 as over 2,000 more benefitThis came just 24 hours after 1,000 more customers had their losing picks turned to winners when Jake O’Brien was booked after coming on to replace Republic of Ireland skipper Seamus Coleman.Big winner Benny said: “My thought process behind the card selection was that I know these midfielders and defenders often pick up bookings, but don’t always play the full game. Having the Impact Sub feature therefore gave me a second chance to win!“When the final leg came in, I remember saying ‘oh my god, oh my god!’, then telling my wife it’s landed. It’s such great feeling winning that much!”William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, added: “Our customers certainly seem to be making the most of our new Impact Sub feature, not least those who punted on Portugal’s Joao Paulinha to be carded against Scotland in Lisbon on Sunday night.”Ruben Neves’ caution after replacing Paulinha at half-time proved to be an important leg for many of our customers’ Bet Builders, resulting in us paying out a stinging £57,000 from a mere £5 stake to one customer.“The damage for the weekend didn’t stop there, with Ireland’s Jake O’Brien costing us even more after replacing Seamus Coleman against England and finding himself in the book soon after.“In total, we awarded winnings to over 2,000 customers who effectively used the Impact Sub feature over the weekend.”William Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*Remember to gamble responsiblyA responsible gambler is someone who:Establishes time and monetary limits before playingOnly gambles with money they can afford to loseNever chase their lossesDoesn’t gamble if they’re upset, angry, or depressedGamcare – www.gamcare.org.ukGamble Aware – www.gambleaware.orgFind our detailed guide on responsible gambling practices here.For help with a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or go to www.gamstop.co.uk*18+.

That means you don’t play football and you can’t be with the national team.”On former Tottenham star Bergwijn, Koeman said last week: “The book is basically closed to him.
