Arsenal seem to find a way of getting through groups rather easily in this, whilst blooding some youngsters. Admittedly they have a better/bigger squad.
I think as things stand, we would likely struggle at group stage again, if we were to find ourselves in it next year. Or, we would do ok, at the expense of league form.
There is perhaps something to be said for treating the group stage games as a tester and an opportunity to experiment, particularly if you get somewhat lucky with the draw.
Ultimately, we need to be qualifying for the UEL year on year, and learning to manage it whilst maintaining or improving league position.
If we are in it, surely the goal is to win the thing.
