You have completely ignored everything you have read, and continued to argue from the same stance. I will try and make our points a bit clearer for you: This was not based on the single game away to Inter + the single home game to Fulham The Fatigue/Burnout/mental exhaustion that is being referred to is based around the fact that players like Dembele, Lennon, Bale and Parker have played week in week out (often twice a week) since xmas. The article is looking at the Bigger picture, and saying has the fact we have given the Europa league alot of focus, meant we have been under-manned for the league campaign as whole. Now, as I have pointed out - Both Arsenal and Chelsea based on their constant Champions League appearances, Larger stadiums, larger squad budgets and in Chelseas case basically an un-limited pool over the last few years, have a squad which essentialy allows them to field competitive teams (relatively in Arsenals case) in each competition. Spurs have been spending almost nothing in the past 3-4 transfer windows, and have been keeping hold of players who will never really feature strongly such as Thud, Jenas, Bently, Gio etc So whilst we have had numbers, the quality has not been there, hence both Harry and AVB coming up short at this time of year due to Burnout. Now, as the Article says..... is this due to the Europa league? I hope this helps...
