Comments on: England – proof that 11 great players don’t always make a good team http://villa.theoffside.com/misc/england-proof-that-11-great-players-dont-always-make-a-good-team.html News from Aston Villa English Premiership Team Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:09:14 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Simon Preston http://villa.theoffside.com/misc/england-proof-that-11-great-players-dont-always-make-a-good-team.html#comment-1255 Simon Preston Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:44:54 +0000 http://villa.theoffside.com/team-news/england-proof-that-11-great-players-dont-always-make-a-good-team.html#comment-1255 Think he (Capello) needs a little time before any measures can be made against his coaching era. It needs to mature and have the team working how he wants them to work. I do seem to recall Capello (or maybe it was the media) saying he wouldn't be blinded by star names and would drop anybody that wasn't performing. He did do this at Madrid so it'd make sense that he'd do the same with the England team. Unless, of course, the FA are meddling with it and refusing to let him drop them due to their precious T-Shirt sales. Anyway, what do I care. I'm Irish. lol.
