Greece 0-3 England

Who leads the line for England going into World Cup qualification will, of course, be a problem for incoming manager Thomas Tuchel to solve.
Interim boss Lee Carsley has shown that, all over the park, Tuchel will have plenty of options, with an old guard being pressed hard by those coming through the ranks: “I think we have seen in the past that teams coming through
and able to win the Euros have six or seven players coming through. Look at
Germany and Spain.
“I think I said before the Greece game there’s a generation
that is just used to winning whether that is World Cups or Euros. There is a generation that expects to win in an England
shirt, that can only be good for the future.”
On whether it is important for a team to not rely on one player: “I think we have shown that we have so many quality players.
“The biggest challenge is fitting them all in. Players come in and out of form. A lot of good performances tonight and hopefully we see the same at Wembley.”
