Lee Carsley has said that England will be “a little bit more conventional” against Finland on Sunday night than they were against Greece. England lost 2-1 at Wembley on Thursday after Carsley’s experimental striker-less line-up backfired in a disastrous performance.

Carsley’s decision to deploy five attackers without an out-and-out striker backfired against Greece, leaving England rudderless without the ball and toothless with it in an alarming all-round display. The interim manager pledged to stick with his attack-minded approach, but a more familiar system will be in place in Helsinki.
