Now that Arsenal are definitely in the Europa League next season, fans have admitted that they would rather they just field their kids and concentrate on the league.
- Arsenal beat Everton 3-1 on final day of the season
- Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Middlesbrough left Gunners’ fate out of their hands
- Gunners now finish outside top four for the first time in two decades
Unlike the Champions League, Arsenal should have a genuine chance to win the Europa League next year if they really throw everything at it and don’t mess around. If they’re going to play in it, they might as well own it.
However, with the extra fixtures come tired players, and if the Gunners are really going to go all out for the Premiership, they may need to rest players.
With this in mind, it might be more sensible to play the kids and treat Europa like a League Cup, which Gooners reckon is the most sensible option.
Arsenal either aim to win the Europa League or we play the kids. There can be no halfway house.

The dream is to get knocked out of the qualifying game but that competition is so bad our kids might keep winning.

@DailyCannon play the kids. Focus on the league.

Surely both. Kids in the opening league. Get them experience and then put the main team in when we are in the knockout

I hope they play to win. Why the heck not! Winning stuff always feels good.
