England lost 2-1 to Greece at Wembley on Thursday night .

Vangelis Pavlidis scored a double to give Greece the lead in the second half .

Three Lions boss Lee Carsley used a 4-4-2 formation for the first time in his first two games in charge.

Carsley named a false nine formation with Phil Foden , Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer starting in midfield .

England were disjointed, missing Kane 's presence and influence in absentia.

Ollie Watkins came on with 30 minutes to go and only touched the ball nine times, having one shot.

Roy Keane says Watkins will be fuming after being left out of the starting line-up.
