It has never been about him [Lee Carsley], he has got no ego in that respect but what he has done is given a lot of options to Thomas Tuchel coming in.
Since Gareth Southgate departed, Lee Carsley has achieved his number one mission and that was to get England promoted in the Nations League competition.
The plus point is, he has used something like 31 players, he has handed out eight debuts and he has increased the pool size for Thomas Tuchel in terms of options and playing personnel and I think the manner of the victory - he will be thrilled for him, Joleon Lescott and Ashley Cole.
