English Premier League Club Aston Villa is currently unsure regarding whether or not they will keep goalkeeper Scott Carson on the squad for the rest of the season, according to this article from itv.com.
According to the article, "manager Martin O'Neill will make no decision on whether he wants to keep on-loan Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson permanently until the end of the season."
Carson is the reserve goalkeeper for the English national team responsible for letting in all three goals that caused Croatia's embarrassing defeat and elimination of England in Euro 2008 qualifying paving the way for Russia to qualify along with Croatia from their group. Here is a video showing Croatia's goals (be sure to look closely at the major mistakes Carson had made in this match as well as what the English commentators say):
This and other videos that I have see from the English and commentators are the first I have seen that ever had the English media criticizing English players.
Ever since this match, Carson, according to the article, had to "overcome a sticky spell following his confidence-sapping error" in this game for his national team and his troubles aren't over. Despite his low confidence, he continued with Aston Villa to help them "push for a UEFA Cup spot." (the UEFA Cup for those that don't know is somewhat of a consolation tournament for rejects of the Champions League.
Currently 22 years old, Carson still has to "sort out his future" and seems to have hopped from club to club. Only staying with clubs on a temporary basis.
However, the decision regarding whether or not he will stay does not rest with him, but on the clubs that deal with his contract. This lies more on the manager and coaching staff of Liverpool, the club that he currently has a contract with and is only on-loan to Aston Villa.
