I'd be relieved too, your weak squad has already been exposed without European football. Imagine embarrassing yourselves in the group stages again.

I think it's sort of a fair comment to be honest. We'd have no chance of achieving Arsenals coveted 'last 16 trophy' this season, so it's better that we're not involved this time.

The coveted trophies Arsenal win are actual real trophies. Spurs should try it sometime

Like their one European trophy to Spurs three European trophies.

On your bike sunshine.

I dont buy this small squad this, not big enough for 2 fronts that. Apart from our CB area, the squad is fine, just been very unlucky getting all the injuries at once. Lo celso is adequate to back up madders - you are not gonna get a better quality player for back up, ever. CM is stacked pretty much with decent options. Wing is also stacked although quality could be slightly improved, and up front we are light tbf.

Do West Ham, Brighton, Villa have a much bigger depth than us? They’ve all qualified with a game to spare, playing thurs-sun and it hasn’t affected their league form too much. Brighton have actually got loads of injuries, but their academy and coaching is just so good.

All the excuses we’ve given over the years of thurs-sun has been completely disproven this season.

Good post. But I think European sides are dire this season. Quality all across Europe is poor. Hence much easier for English clubs. The fact West Ham won a so called European trophy last season, shows how poor it is.

Anything less than English clubs winning all three European trophies would be a failure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

CL faves are City, Europa faves are Liverpool and the Farmers league faves are Villa.

It’s poverty out there at the moment, bar the very elite - Real, Barca, Bayern. Even PSG look a bit schitt.

Liverpool are miles ahead of any other side in the Europa - although they could see Newcastle and United in the Europa with them son which would add interest.

Villa should walk their comp - but have really laboured this group stage at times. Emery is a master of secondary Euro comps though so they will probably come good in the end given this isn’t even a secondary comp

TBF I only said it would add interest - watching Onana throw a few in. I reckon the Geordies would be tough though - they’ve looked good at times in Eurooe

Do we have a small squad OR don't we have a small squad?
Certainly the injuries, compounded with the cards, have left us with a "small squad" that is nowhere near as good as the first team.
Even Assieglue is today quoted as saying we'll have to go into the transfer market in January to buy a midfielder! (ref: Sky Sports!)
Yes, he says its injuries plus ACON!
Who would you think he has in mind?
