It was clear from those friendlies onwards that Capello was losing his grip on the team and the squad, and panicking because of it. (The stuff he tried for those friendlies - eg Milner in the middle, Carrick, King, Walcott - didn't work, and he reacted really badly.)
But I reckon this squad is pretty much unmanageable anyway. I've heard some bad stuff from my hack mate about what's going on in the squad. And I don't think the players are that good, either, fundamentally.
