Thats the real question? Seriously??
Umm....it helped them greatly? Not changing a side week to week is an advantage. Never having your best players out of the side is obviously a huge advantage.
I'd hazard a guess and say there is not team in recent history that even comes close to that kind of dream run with injuries.
