Crashing Out of Europe

I thought it was a long shot to hope for winning the Europa League.  There are too many good teams in it.  Arsenal showed it just isn't strong enough to beat them and that's reality.  Arteta has to take some of the blame.  He must have worked on set piece defense, but what he said apparently did not sink in.  Those two goals were really soft.  Olympiakos players cruised in untouched and with no one to beat but the keeper.  Ridiculous.

The only positive I get from this is that Saka might get a few days off now and then.  We're in serious danger of running him into the ground.  Other than that, it's a disaster to be ejected so early from a cup competition.  At least it used to be the Champion's League we'd be dismissed from in the first knockout round.
