Could Arsenal defeat be a blessing in disguise?

Will Champions League Exit prove to be a catalyst for Arsenal to win the Prem‏? by SS

Hi Gooners,

I am fully aware that since the last decade, barring two FA cup wins, qualifying for CL is our only achievement. We qualify for CL every year and we fail to improve upon our performances. We have not gone past the round of 16 for last 5 years and we have not done any improvement to our squad to change that.

We do not have the team to beat the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich as we fail to deliver in Europe on consistent basis. These mediocre achievements in Europe is also costing us locally as the injury toll and extra tiredness taken by players in European fixtures hurts our prospects in the EPL fixtures, and at the end we lose on both counts.

This year we are most likely to exit early in CL and this will help us to concentrate fully on the Premier league. We have a lot of injured first team players and with CL out of contention, we will be able to rotate our squad nicely. As things going on currently, we have good chances of winning the league.

What do you think Gooners?
