England interim manager Lee Carsley hit back at critics who questioned his decision not to sing the national anthem before the Three Lions defeated Ireland in Dublin.
0:00 We knew we would get spaces in wide areas. Jack is capable of many things so I try not to look solely on positions.
0:56 Nothing about the national anthem affected my preparations. I've never sung it. Today was one of the proudest days of my career. I don't feel hard done by or aggrieved. It doesn't make me or anyone else less committed.
2:59 I make a lot of notes before and during the game. I try not to give the team too much info during the half time.
4:04 I fully respect people's opinions on the national anthem. There is, of course, judgement in this role.
5:09 We have to get the best out of the players. Full backs now are like midfield players. Thought Trent was very good today.
6:00 Jack and Dec knew it would be hostile. We handled it very well. Great for them to score the goals.
7:30 I don't have any say on captaincy as interim manager.
8:25 Cars ball? It's the players. I'm lucky that I'm the coach. The players need to take all of the credit.
9:10 I spend a lot of time on the bench so I knew exactly where that is!
9:45 We had a lot of the ball but didn't pepper their goal. Against better teams with Ireland you had to sit in. It certainly didn't feel easy from the side.
10:45 Ireland's formation. I knew they'd play five at the back.
