Considering we’ve conceded too many points to lower opposition and have tougher top 6 games coming up it’s highly likely winning the Europa League will be our only path to Champions League.
Emery has already shown he’s inept by the way we struggled against part time footballers in Europe and how we just rolled over against Chelsea in the final.
Regrettably I think that’s right although a change of manager for a very good one right now could easily allow the 8 or so point gap to be closed. I haven’t given up hope that Raul and co won’t act in the next few days and then we might have a fighting chance with over half a season left.
it would be great to get back into it for the prestige that it brings and makes better players want to come/stay and it gives a lot more money and the club seems to be spending more now…but at the same time with the way we are playing i rather be the hell away from it because it is so humiliating scraping through the group stages then getting a bayern/barca/RM and then getting humped 10-2 on aggregate.
I think we’ll be out of Europe all together, at least we can get rid of the 1 game a week myth we used as to why Leicester and Chelsea won the league in 16 & 17 when we balls up next season .
We are more than capable of making top 4
Our confidence is shot to pieces as is the self belief. It’ll only take one lucky win and the team will get back on track .
I still think we’ll be nearer mid table than top four and there is not much Freddie can do about it with so many poor players and a lack of organisation and motivation.
If it means we have to wait until the end of the season to get a top European manager, then it will be worth it.
But if we wait until the end of the season just to announce Arteta, then it won’t be just this season we will have thrown away.
