How does that explain our other results post EL thus season?If we want to win the league or even just aim higher than 4th we'll need to make the Europa league far less of a priority.
It's no coincidence we lost to Newcastle after Monaco then won 3 on the spin without any Europa league games after that.
There's quite a few games that we drew that we should have won and we've dropped what, 11 points from winning positions?How does that explain our other results post EL thus season?

Games after Europa league this season.
Palace - won
Swansea - drew
Bournemouth - won
Arsenal - drew
Chelsea - drew
Newcastle - lost
Any other season i'd agree.That's an improvement on previous years...And look at the teams we played...The scum and Chelsea a draw is a decent pt.....actually only really the Newcastle game is a bitter blow....and maybe Swansea bit still 1pt away from home
This is a team that's growing and we can see some players developing week by week. Lamela is starting to look like the player I hoped he could be, then Dier and Alli are improving quickly too. Sadly, it's not going to be this season, I really want to win the league I just don't think we're there yet. Two or three years from now and we have a real chance, the players that season will be helped by the title race this year which we're just about part of.
I disagree with this. Europa league is a great opportunity for rotating the squad and giving the bench a chance. Also shows the hunger of the players.If we want to win the league or even just aim higher than 4th we'll need to make the Europa league far less of a priority.
