A further England supporter added: “Great performance by England tonight. Refreshing to see us play like that over the 2 games. Lee Carsley has done a decent job overall across the fixtures in charge not to mention giving other lads a chance to show what they can do. Looking positive for Tuchel.”

And while there has been praise, other fans were left to question the decision not to give Carsley the permanent role. A supporter said: “Carsley deserved the England job permanently.”

Another fan said: “Lee Carsley has done well for himself taking charge of England's National team. It's a pity he didn't back himself for the full-time job. Tuchel may not be the Angel to save England's trophy drought.”

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Lee Carsley should have got the England job on a permanent basis, we panicked after one bad result, daft,” a supporter said, while another questioned: “So why is Lee Carsley not getting the England job again. What was not to like ? young players, flexible tactics, honest with the media, is Tuchel really such an upgrade…”

Will Thomas Tuchel be a success with England?

There was initially some confusion over Carsley’s stance on a permanent job. He initially appeared to rule himself out of the job, claiming England needed a “ class coach”.

But he quickly backtracked by suggesting that he was open to remaining at the reins. Eventually, the FA who will take charge in January, while his first game will come in March.

Carsley will now return to his role with the under-21s but he has not ruled out potentially applying for the role once more as a replacement for Tuchel.
