Carsley Reveals His Message to West Ham Star Bowen Before England’s Instant Impact

A dismal first-half performance by the Three Lions turned into a dominant display after Harry Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 53rd minute.

Jarrod Bowen, introduced in the 75th minute, made an immediate impact by finding the net just 30 seconds later.

Speaking to ITV after the 5-0 victory on 17 November, England’s interim manager Lee Carsley revealed the advice he gave Bowen before sending him onto the pitch.

“It was a great, great goal,” said Carsley. “I told him when he went on to shoot every time he got the ball. He has so much quality.

Sometimes he can be a bit unselfish, but he needs to make sure he gets his goals and assists—everything he deserves.”

Bowen’s first goal for England could significantly boost West Ham’s hopes.

The confidence gained from this achievement is likely to benefit both the player and the club.

After a mixed campaign so far, this moment could reignite Bowen’s form just when West Ham need him most.

With manager Julen Lopetegui under pressure, securing positive results in the next two fixtures will be crucial. However, the challenges ahead are daunting.

The Hammers face a tough away trip to Newcastle, followed by a home clash against Arsenal.

Success in these games will require key players like Bowen to be at their best.

So far this season, Bowen has contributed to five goals, scoring three himself.

His performance against Ireland could be the confidence boost he needs to deliver consistently.

West Ham will hope this renewed self-belief translates into critical contributions on the pitch, helping the team navigate a challenging period and strengthen their campaign.
