Jack Grealish thriving under Lee Carsley to prove England value after Euro 2024 snub

England star Jack Grealish labelled Sunday’s 3-1 win over Finland as a “perfect way to bounce back”.

Grealish was referring to the Three Lions’ recovery after their humiliating 2-1 defeat by Greece at Wembley. But his words could just as easily have describing his own situation. How his performances in the Nations League have the perfect response to his Euro 2024 snub.

Team-mates were left missing Grealish’s playful ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app presence in the England camp during the European Championship, after Gareth Southgate decided to leave the Manchester City man behind following a season spent in and out of Pep Guardiola’s team.

On his day, Grealish offers something different from England’s other creative options, and he has shown that with livewire displays since Lee Carsley became the interim manager.

Grealish found the corner nonchalantly at the Aviva Stadium last month as Carsley’s caretaker tenure began in winning style against the Republic of Ireland.

Then, on Sunday, he produced another unerring finish to set England on their way to victory in Helsinki. At 29, Grealish is older than all of the other options jostling for the same spot in the starting lineup and scores for both club and country at a much lower rate than the likes of Cole Palmer and Jude Bellingham.

But his composure and ability to hold off challenges keeps England on the ball and on the attack, and his intelligent off-the-ball run made his fourth international goal possible.
