#3 Insufficient squad depth
Even if the Arsenal players wanted to win the Europa League, which they don’t, they simply don’t have the squad depth to do so. We saw last season how Tottenham Hotspur struggled to field a competent team on Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons. It’s a fine art to be able to field a team on Thursday that can win, without compromising the fitness of your best players.
Look at Arsenal’s squad now, if you rest the star players, are the reserves good enough to win in Europe? I don’t think so. Especially when you factor in Wenger’s poor record on European nights. The likes of Theo Walcott, Chuba Akpom and Yaya Sanogo are hardly going to fire Arsenal to the Europa League title, are they?
