We got to the CL with a reserve back four, so I can't see the Europa as beyond our squad.
Cotton wool is to smother the useless bastards so Kronky the Klown has to buy some more. Maybe ones that don't break so easily.

Anyway, it's nights like these that snap you back to reality and make you realise Wenger simply doesn't have what it takes to prevail when the challenge is at its fiercest. You're right. Injuries, no injuries. Europa League, no Europa League. Wenger will fuck it up. It's what he does.
