Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6628471, member: 407846"] I agree. I have been arguing for a while I think it might have been better if City were on top and we were chasing them...but I would have still wanted us to be shooting to win the Europa League. Half the Arsenal fan base act like we are a big club and should be playing in the CL not bothering with the EL. It just grates because we have been in the wilderness for the past several years and we are not yet the finished article. When we win the title or are in a CL semi-final (whatever) okay brag all you want, but this trading on the past glories - nothing to so with the present set up - is annoying. We'll now need to refocus against Palace this weekend who are getting increasingly desperate for a win (word is Patrick Viera is close to being fired) and I think if we don't absolutely paste them, things will look glum. Losing like that to Sporting (the mentality, tactics, team and substitutions were all over the place) was not a good look but worse, I honestly believe it knocks the confidence (doh!) as that was a tie we should have won comfortably. But, though we progressed through and outplayed teams, we never once looked at our best in Europe and that spoke volumes. Regarding an absolute world class striker, I am not sure that's on Arteta's list. I believe he'll rely on spreading the goals around a front 4/6 players. Fair enough, but I would kill to have say a new version of Olivier Giroud join the squad. It seems Declan Rice is going to be the summer target. I am not convince the deal is done (as is being rumored) or on Declan Rice himself but we need to have a world class back up for Thomas Partey. Onto the weekend I guess and I hope a thrashing of Palace with a temporary eight point lead over City as they play the FA Cup this weekend. City play Burnley which should be a fabulous game...Burley leading the Championship by a mile under Kompany! [/QUOTE]
