For all we might not be capable of in the league this season we do for the first time in s a lot of seasons have a real chance of European success.
Instead of being champions league make weights we suddenly find ourselves as Europa league big boys and I think it would be really positive for the club to go all out to win.
It's not been beneath Chelsea and Utd to go for it and the Europa league has a much bigger appeal across Europe than it does in this country so if we were to win this trophy our standing in world football.
Being in this competition certainly didn't put out 2 new boys off joining us so maybe we should be more open to respecting the Europa league and what it can do for us as a club long term.

If we keep a lot of players then we will certainly have the squad depth to field a strong side in Europa League games and it wouldn't affect our side too much for domestic games either side of the fixture.

Ospina, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Holding, Gibbs, Elneney, Coquelain, Iwobi, Walcott, Welbeck, Giroud all players that will not be in starting XI that could play in europe.

It took utd and Chelsea to play their best players to win the europa league Detriot mate and we shouldn't under estimate the other teams within it and we certainly shouldn't continue to live off our past reputation and hope that will be good enough to deliver in the present.
Realistically the Europa is our best chance of winning a top prize this season and doing that won't be easy.
The premier league and champions league are the top 2 prizes available and the europa league is number 3 because it offers not only champions league football but also a real trophy unlike the 4th place trophy that only we can see :-)
