Capello - Lucky Manager?

[essex boy]

Has Capello had a blessing in disguise with a large majority of our key players having had a semi serious injury at some point in the season, meaning they wont have played their usual quota of 60 odd games resulting in them being tired for a major tournament

Ashley Cole
Rio Ferdinand
Steven Gerrard
Theo Walcott
Aaron Lennon
Emille Heskey
Carlton Cole
Glen Johnson


now Rooney may miss a few games

Would be luckier if the ones in bold were injured permanently.

Even though I am not an England fan I cannot agree with that.

Capello won multiple trophies wherever he is managed.

good manager as is Fergie

[Sir Ricky Sbragia]

Undeniably he has an excellent record at club level. However, astute followers of the game are perfectly justified in finding his obssession with starting Emile Heskey as baffling.

I cannot see how getting injured, playing fewer games and having less match practice in the lead up to a final tournament, could ever be considered "lucky".
