I know after our horrific attempt at qualifying I have a cheek slagging it, but the standard of play in group stage is terrible and I don’t see the point in it.
Any decent team in it doesn’t seem to take it seriously until later stages in March/April time. Arsenal squad the last few games shows how much they want to be in it. Couple that with the teams playing against their reserves still sit in with no intention of going and trying to win. Best teams not interested in it, weaker ones boring as you can get.
Go back to a knock out tournament with fewer rounds and fewer games, it’s totally pointless way it is just now imo.
May harm us getting back in Europe, but not exactly a money spinner either.
